The Arrival Part 4

Posted on by Standard 2

Darren woke up gasping for air. After coming to his senses, he realized it was way too hot in the spacecraft. He had been pulled towards the sun while unconscious.I have to get out of here before I’m burned to a crisp! Darren thought, but he found that his body was not listening to his mind. The next thing that happened was Darren’s memories of what he had discovered about the sun rushed back to him, and Darren began to panic.

I have to get back to Earth to let everyone know how well my experiment went, said Darren’s mind, but the thought did not come from Darren. I’ll have to bring the battery back to Earth charged,Darren thought. An instant later, a tendril as thin as string emerged from the sun and touched Darren’s device,and the power gage read at 100%. Now I’m good to go,replied the mysterious voice in his head. Darren’s body found itself prepping the controls to go back to Earth…

Game Review

Posted on by Standard 4

I believe a already mentioned this on my ‘about me’ page, but if you didn’t already know, I’m a huge gamer. I love to find, play, test, and even program video games. Most of the time, I like to play with my friends, usually on “Clash of Clans” a strategy game where you build and defend your village, and attack other people in the world for their resources, while at the same time trying to earn trophies to make your clan the best.

I bet you could guess what my favorite themed games are, and I’m almost 100% certain that you guessed Star Wars. My top 2 favorite games are “Star Wars Battlefront II” for PC, and “Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic” a game I bought recently on my iPad that I am currently addicted to.

Both games are fun, but are different types of games. SWBF2 is a war simulation, where you fight giant battles on a variety of planets or even space, as clones, droids, rebels, Jedi, and Sith. The goal of the game is to annihilate every person on the other team, and every roll, crouch, shot, launch, and footstep is made by the push of a button, or a nudge of a knob.

KOTOR is still Star Wars, but first of all, it is in the past, and second, rather than attacking with a large army, you are a single character with up to 2 companions at a time. The goal of this game, is to help the Jedi order infiltrate the Sith, and keep them from being able to access the Star Forge, an ancient creation of unknown power. Being able to play as a scout, mercenary, republic soldier, battle droid, wookie, and even Jedi, it’s a very entertaining way to get the job done. This game isn’t about agility, or reflexes, but strategy and skill. Instead of controlling you characters every move, you must choose what actions you want to be commenced, in what order you want them to happen, and decide which character is doing what. Oh, did I mention that there are more choices of armor, light sabers, swords, grenades, shields, droid weapons (flamethrowers!!!) than I can count.

These games are both amazing and extremely addicting, and I would recommend that any gamers reading this should buy both games. Also,if you buy one of the games, please comment your thoughts on the experience.
