Super Smash Bros. Review

Super Smash Bros. is the fourth Game in the Super Smash bros. series and is the ultimate Nintendo crossover. In this game you hit opponents to build up their damage percentage so you can hit them with a smash attack and send them flying off the side of a stage to defeat them. You fight using characters like Mario, Link, Pikachu and many others from various nintendo games. You can play with others or play alone with various modes for both with updates to the modes from older games and completely new modes. Classic mode for example, now has a intensity scale (exactly like the one from Kid Icarus: Uprising) and you can make things tougher by paying gold earned throughout the various modes of the game. There is also the new 8-player smash where up to 8 fighters can duke it out on one oversized stage. There are some differences between versions, like smash run in 3ds, and the Wii-u does offer some more modes and they have different arenas , my only issue with the 3ds version are the controls, but this is fixed if you play it on the new 3ds. There are also the amiibo, which are fighters that control themselves and level and learn more as you train them. Once you get them up to level 50 though because they'll be basically untouchable. In fact, my Link amiibo still hasn't lost a single match since reaching level 50. I give this game 5 out of 5 stars.          By Nick Starceski              Review for 3ds and Wii U

Skylanders Superchargers Announcement

Recently Activision has announced the next Skylanders game, Skylanders Superchargers. This game introduces vehicles, with three different types that allow you to travel the land, sea, and sky. There will also be new Skylanders called superchargers, which each have a corresponding vehicle that they "supercharge" or power-up. There will be 20 vehicles(2 for each element), and 20 superchargers(also 2 for each element). 10 of the superchargers will be completely redesigned returning characters that will have different attacks. Super-shot Stealth Elf for example, now has a bazooka instead of daggers, just to give you a idea of how different they are. The toys of some vehicles now have moving parts, like on some cars the wheels will move. Any Skylander can ride a vehicle(even giants, activision says) but only Superchargers can mod the vehicle with the car parts found throughout the levels. Vehicles also require a different kind of in-game currency that you only find in the driving sections. The traps in this game don't capture villains but give elemental ammo for vehicles and a skystone of the villain trapped inside. While inside vehicles Skylanders will be protected by the vehicles shields but when the shields are down the Skylander inside will take damage, but the vehicles themselves will never die. We should find out more about the game next week at E3. The skylanders revealed so far are: Spitfire(Fire) and his land vehicle Hot Streak, Stormblade(air) and her sky vehicle Sky Slicer, Hurricane Jet-vac and his sky vehicle Jet Stream, Dive-Clops(water) and his sea vehicle Dive Bomber, Super Shot Stealth Elf(No vehicle revealed yet), a new Trigger Happy, and a New Terrafin. This game will come out on September 20th 2015        By Nick Starceski

Five Nights at Freddy's review

Five Nights at Freddy's(or Fnaf as some write it for reduced space) is as came where you are a security guard at pizzeria where you must manage power to various systems in order to stop crazy animatronics from killing you. The story is that you are security guard at restaurant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a place similar to other places like Chuck E Cheese. However at Freddy's the animatronics wander the restaurant and if they see you they will stuff you in to a animatronic costume, killing you in process. IT's you job to last from 12 midnight to 6am(in game this is either 8 and a half minutes or 4 and half, depending on your version), and you can't move from your office either. You can close the doors to your office and you can turn on lights and check your camera to slow them down, BUT you have limited power and each of these actions cause you to speed up in your power consumption, and if you hit 0% it's game over(Unless you've got 5 seconds to 6am or something). First and foremost this game is SCARY. Although the sense of defenselessness, limited power, and creepy animatronics all help this game to feel scary, In my opinion the scariest thing is the atmosphere. The sound of the animatronics bumping into things as they move, the flickering lights, and Freddy's terrifying laugh all make this game freaky. Your only friend is a former employee who calls you each night to give you advice on what to do. And if couldn't tell by the title you only have  to survive for five nights before beating the game(there are two bonus nights though). Five Nights at Freddy's is a truly terrifying game that will leave you with chills long after you've played it. I give this game 4.75 out of 5 stars

Broken Age: Act 2 Review.

Broken Age: Act 2 is the second and final part of Broken Age. Once again this has two parts of the story Vella and Shay. Unlike the first act though you'll have to switch between them to finish the game. The Story in this is pretty good although not as great as the first act. I can't actually reveal anything about this act's story with out completely spoiling the first one's. The puzzles are pretty fun in this game, but some are just downright unfair. In order to play this effectively I suggest you have a Pencil and Paper handy. This act wraps up the story nicely and answers any question posed through the game. All in all it is a good ending. I give this 4.25 out 5 stars. By Nick Starceski. Reviewed for ipad

Bastion Review

Bastion is a action game where you use various weapons in order to obtain items throughout the levels. The story of this game is your character is a survivor of an disaster called the calamity which broke his world to pieces and now you work with a old man called Rucks to get cores that power a device called Bastion which can supposedly rebuild the world. One of the best parts of this game is the narrator, Rucks. His voice is a constant throughout the game and he explains levels, tells the story, and sets the overall tone of the game. Another great thing about this game is the music, which energizes battles and is just really awesome. Using cores in the Bastion allows you to upgrade your home base with various structures that perform different tasks, like upgrading your weapons. This game can be challenging at times but I never felt that it was unfair. I also suggest you play this game with headphones on, so you won't miss anything. I give this game 4.75 our 5 stars.    By Nick Starceski. reviewed for iPhone/iPad

Steven Universe-Attack the Light!

Steven Universe Attack the Light! is a game based off of the show Steven Universe. This game is an RPG and has you level up the Steven and the Crystal gems to make them stronger. Each of the Gems has 4 main stats, Attack(the amount of damage you do), Defense(the amount of damage gems take from enemies) Luck(the chance to do extra damage, and Harmony(the amount of damage gems can take before leaving the battle). The game gives you five stars at the start of each turn. You spend these stars to attack enemies. This game has you tapping the screen at just the right moment to attack twice or half the damage the gems take from attacks. The story of the game is that Steven accidentally unleashes a bunch of light monsters from a powerful gem-based weapon and he and The Crystal Gems have to go recapture them all. This Game has a nice diffuculty curve, it starts out pretty easy in the first levels and but gets a lot harder. There are also items in the game that have tons of different affects and badges that powers the gems up. When a gem falls in battle she will revive afterwords but not gain any experience. My favorite part of the game is how much fun it is to play.
I Give this Game 4.75 out 5 stars Reviewed for Iphone/Ipad.       By Nick Starceski
