Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Nintendo Wii is the new addition to the Legend of Zelda seires. It starts with a boy living in the village of Ordon and sets the player up for the rest of the game with story and controls. Eventually the character becomes a wolf, which is a good twist to the controls and story as well.
Some of the characters are familliar faces, such as Zelda, and some are new, such as Midna, but almost all are well done.
The gameplay in this game is the same as most for the wii, revolutionary, ranged weapons are aimed with the remote and the remote is swung to swing the sword. Being a wolf is also fun, the character can follow scents and dig holes. This is an excellent game which I give 4.5 stars/

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth Review

Video Games: Review
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth for the PSP is a remake of an old RPG for the Playstation. It is the story of a Norse god, the selecter of souls, a Valkyrie and how she collects the souls of brave warriors from Midgard and sends them to Valhalla to fight for Odin in Ragnarok. The story can end in three different ways reffered to as the A, B, and C endings. The A ending is basicly losing the war by doing a poor job on Midgard. The B ending is doing a good job on Midgard, but having a high sealing value. The best ending is the A ending in which you have a low sealing value and the most story is revealed. Sealing value is determined by the events in game and the choices of the player. I won't spoil any story for anyone who wants to play the game, but this is an excellent story. The only downside to the story is that because of the time system in chapters it is easily possible to miss the story of the game.
The characters in this game are innumerable and well done. They are the souls collected on Midgard. Some of them are connected and some aren't but all are good detailed characters. They are all implemented in the smae manner but not necessaraly for the same reasons.
The gameplay in this game is interesting and different. The world map is flying over Midgard and there are no encounters. Then when you enter a dungeon or town it becomes a side scrolling platformer. Then in combat it becomes a turn basedsystem in which timing is important. The four buttons on the right side of the PSP correspond to the four characters on the right side of the screen. Those characters have a limited number of attacks and when used in the right combination they unleash a special attack.
This is an excellent example of RPG and is very original. I give this game 5 stars.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Review

Kingdom Hearts 2 is the sequel to the hit game Kingdom Hearts. It centers on Sora, Donald, and Goofy, in their fight against the Heartless. It has a good story, Sora runs into the Nobodies and sets off for other new worlds.
The characters are the same from the last game except for a new one, Roxas, when Sora became a Heartless, even if it was only for a short time, his nobody lived on. That is Roxas.
For the most part it is the same, except for the new branch of enemies, the new worlds, the reaction command, and the drive form changes. The new enemies are the Nobodies, the left over bodies of the Heartless. The new worlds include the Pridelands and the Space Paranoids. The reaction command is when in a certain action happens, such as an enemy attack, the player presses the triangle button and does a specific counter or reaction. The Drive form changes are when Sora has enough drive gauge that he can change into one of 5 forms. Valar form is the hand to hand form. It uses two keyblades and cannot cast any spells. Wisdom form is the ranged form. Sora slides around on what seems to be blue stars, and shoots blue shots from the end of his keyblade. His magic is also enhanced. Master form is the combination of Valar and Wisdom forms. It has the strengths of both to less of an extreme but not the weaknesses. Final Form is the ultimate fighting form . It uses two keyblades and increased magic. Sora is floating and so are the keyblades so that makes for good combos. Lastly there is Anti form. This is the result of using too many form changes. Sora loses his weapon and turns all black. He then fights in a berserker style and rampages on the enemies. This is a great game and I give it 5 stars.

Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles Review

Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles is a new RPG based on the hit anime show Naruto. The player is launched into the world of a leaf ninja and are given the ability to create clones and use powerful attacks. The story of this game deviates from the show, but is similar, and I have to say that knowing the anime's story helps to understand the game.
The characters in this game are ones of the anime show and have their own connections from the show. There is nothing much to tell about the characters without telling the story. To find out more about the characters I would recommend watching the anime.
The gameplay in this game is a random encounter system. In each random encounter naruto is able to run around an arena and fight the enemies. He is able to use his stamina for shadow clones and a power attack. The item system could use some work, as could the misson system, but this is a good game. I give this game 4 and a half stars.

Guitar Hero II Review

Video Games: Review
Guitar Hero II is the sequel to the hit game by Red Octane Guitar Hero. It has new characters and new looks for the old ones. Also there is the option of buying new costumes for each character.
It has new songs and the even newer encore. If you beat the required number of songs in career mode then you get an encore of the audience's choice. The songs in this game are new, but not that good, not nearly as good as the last one.
Overall this is a good game but it can't even compare to the last one. I give this game 3 stars.
