Game Review: Beginning Impression: Mario Kart Double Dash




This is so far my favorite racing game of all time! I'm so far really good at it, but of course it can challenge me, which is always good. The steering is much better then Kirby Air Ride (though, Kirby Air Ride does that intentionally...) and I like the idea where two characters per kart (one steers and the other uses items). So far I have about three gold trophies in the 50cc (I don't know what exactly 50cc means, but it refers to the vehicle; 50cc is the easiest, then 100cc, and 150cc is the hardest.) And like Kirby Air Ride, you have to earn vehicles. Only, you begin with much more then in Kirby Air Ride.

Game Review: Beginning Impression: Kirby Air Ride



Kirby Air Ride is so far really neat! In the game, you start out with just the star as the vehicle you can race with. As you win certain races and do certain things in the races, you earn different vehicles. This racing game is a bit harder for me then most racing games, but I'm still pretty good at it. Turning and such is harder. Also, since it is Kirby, he can swallow enemies and take their powers. What I dislike about it is you can only have the ability for a limited time, unlike in most Kirby games in which you have it until a enemy hits you. Anyway, it's fun and I hope to get farther into it :)

It's not really a flash animation...it's really just music. That's all. Happy Holidays! (& Io Saturnalia!)

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance

[+] Website


It looks totally cool! Alled entered into this contest to maybe be in the game, though out of the many who send it, we can just hope...I'd have entered except for the STUPID age limit...I can't wait for the game, which will come out in Fall 2005. Reminder to those that the second half of the 8th season of Stargate starts on Jan. 21st and there will be a 9th season. Hopefully it won't end up like Kingdom Hearts 2...*shivers*

Game Review: Beginning Impression: Kirby and The Amazing Mirror

Like most Kirby games, the plot is kind of childish, and weird. Do I care? No...I totally expect that from Kirby games! What attracts me to the game, however, is that it's generally safe to say that it'll be fun. I mean, sucking up your enemies and stealing their abilities is really cool, right?



Also, I think this game is turning out to be very fun! I mean, there are four Kirbys. Yeah, I know you're thinking "when you have your gameboy advanced hooked up, but only then...". Wrong...the computer actually controls the three other Kirbys for you! It's really neat, since they can explore on their own, and stuff. The problem is...it doesn't really count for you. I mean, I WISH they'd follow me, to beat up the bad guys for me...while I just sit back and fool around...but because they don't follow you, you all have a cell phone. I'm not sure if that's what the game calls it...but that's what it is. You can call a star to take you back to the beginning, or you can call your friends to come to your aid. Since the cell phone runs on batteries, you can only call the computer-controlled Kirbys three times, or collect the batteries throughout the areas. And also, this isn't your level-to-level kind of game. It's a maze...and there are so many areas and places to explore...and not only are there different areas, each of the areas are separated into different regions.



Oh, yeah...the plot...what I'm suppose to accomplish...I might as well tell you it...okay, so there is this magical mirror (hence the title...) and apparently it's creating chaos in Dreamland, the land where Kirby lives. MetaKnight, a friend of Kirby's, tries to stop it, but ends up turning evil in the process. And now Kirby has to collect shard of the mirror (that shattered) so he can go defeat the evil. So far...I have two. A lousy two...but I'm on the verge of three!
