Diablo II

Ok i didn't play this game a lot so bare with me

Sound : 5/10 the sound of picking up/dropping item the sound of when a monster dies and the background music is utterly annoying but some of the sounds they were good i don't remember witch ones

Graphics : 7/10 they were ok but sometimes they were weird like when its dark you can see like anything witch bothers me then IT FRIKEN RAINS. but the graphics were decent like the effects when you beat a quest or a boss or level up or activate something it ok but not too great.(there are also not many different maps although there big)

Community : Not enough to be reviewed.

Support : 7/10 it was good the quest are really well thought out and the NPC's help you a bunch. The quest map is really descriptive.


Overall : 3.5/5 although a lot of the things are bad its a fun game that quest are amazing dont think its really worth to buy if you want an MMO I don't even think i could classify it as and MMO but ya just like try it

Kingdom Hearts 2

WOW THIS IS THE BIGGEST BULLSHIT OF A SEQUEL EVER

Graphics : 2/10 NOTHING has changed from old game. They're just trying to rip you off 40$ so I'm giving it low for not bothering

Sound : 5/10 Wow. SAME THING AS BEFORE. Sora's voice changed because he grew older in real life. so I gave it abit more of a score because the game changed his age aswell

Gameplay : 7/10 SAME GAMEPLAY When you think they cant add more button mashing they do! Now in a world you can button mash to kill 1000 enemies. Congrats Square Enix. I would've given this a 1/10 but the storyline is so good. so I gave it an extra six points.The story line actually makes sense this time. The mix with Disney and Final Fantasy is pretty good though.

Support : 1/10 Your probably going to get stuck at atleast one boss; With this your going to have to beg a friend who beat him to TRY and beat him for you.

Overall : 2/5 Not impressed at all. If you buy this you got ripped of 40$. SAME as last game except removed Fun, actual skill/time to play it. In KH2 you can spam one button and one direction. Straight and square. I'm expecting KH3 TO BE AMAZING.

Guitar Hero II Review

Havn't played Number one but own number 2 bare with me

Sound : 10/10 Have to give a 10/10 because the game is all about the sound you make it good or bad, if you suck the sound sucks but the songs in this game are so good! classics good if you like the old school stuff (Nirvana, or even lenerd skinnaerd) but besides the point i love the songs and i think there awesome

Graphics : 7/10 so you in a band and you play songs then advance to a different place there are many different places i think theres like 9 or 10 but ya the scenery and stuff is so good although repetitive but when you do and encore the stage changes into something different which is a really amazing touch to the game.
you can use star power which you gain from hitting the star notes or chords on the screen then you do some sick ass trick depending on what character you have.

Community : not enough to review community

Support : 4/10 there is an addition to number 2 and its pratice mode you can choose sections of songs that you getting you ass kicked on and slow them down to the normal song speed, slow, slower and slowest so you know what noted you have to hit (you can getb to this straight after you fail a song of from the start menu)

Interactivity 10/10 HOLY FRIKEN CRAP YOU HAVE A MINI GUITAR TO PLAY THIS GAME( can also be played on a controller ( N ) holy ya i'm doing this section because you not using a controller to play, well you can but you actually using a mini guitar with 5 buttons green, red, yellow, blue and orange blue being the first and orange being the last

Overall : 4.5/5 this game is so fun i love it the setting you can choose make the game more difficult and you can just keep on playing the songs you want get gig money and buy new charaters, outfits, songs, guitars etc. I love it

Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion

Sound : 8/10 Yah... 8/10 because well its cool? Nah :P The sound is very expansive and each and every single NPC including minor ones who you can just talk to have unique sounds.The walking sound can be kind of annoying and the picking up/dropping sound is kind of annoying.

Graphics : 9/10 HUGE EXPANSIVE WORLD,This is COMPLETELY Free roam you can go for 10 hours of questing without even BEGINNING THE MAIN QUEST, Oblivion gates and enemy's look amazing.If your computer can even run this game you should try it. My computer can barley run it without FPS(FramePerSecond) issues on LOW setting no shadow no water reflect,If you have a new end computer without Windows Vista you can enjoy this game to the fullest. You can make almost make any person inside the Character Creation.

Interactivity : 10/10 Yah I just gave something a 10. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN THIS GAME. You can make about any single look alike if you take some time. You can take plants for medicine, go through oblivion gates save knights join guilds become a mage. You can basically do anything in this amazing game.

Support : 3/10 This game has many bugs and have been many cases of corrupted game disks.Your computer wont probably be able to support this either

3.75/5 Amazing game I recommend it. Anything is possible in this game.

Maplestory Review

First game review , hope you like it if any concerns comment please :)





Sound : 6.5/10 Ok well im giving this rating because of the fact that the music that changes depending on what town your in is really addicting and cool sounding really like soothing :.
but also when you hit a monster it makes this sound its not to bad you get used to it though and it varys on the monster your killing and normally your killing a lot of different ones at once.

Graphics : 7.5/10 it is a 2D side-scroller but it does have good graphics although they up dated it so you can go of the stairs easier but it makes it look gay. But the costume combinations in this game can make you character look amazing, Especially if you get NX which is using really money to buy equips, wepons and even pets can make this game fun and interesting

Community : 7.5/10 You know there are TONSSSS of noobs in this game and ya well that makes it irritating but if your playing it with friends especially in a PQ (a PQ is a party quest were you use 4 people [that varys on what part quest you do] and you complete tasks to get through the stages ending it off with a boss and getting a good item or a crappy also you get a bunch of exp so its good for training) there are also a lot of nice people that you can meet, a good way to do this is by joining a guild a guild is like a permanent party that you can talk to when ever you want without adding them to you friends list. your friends list is a good way to keep track of people you like although the space is limited (can buy more space) it can be helpful (there is also a black list of people you hate with a passion ( Y )

Support : 4.5/10 There are some things in this game that help you along like a quest helper which tells you what is needed to get to complete quest. but if your going to people for help you either need to be well know or have a bunch of money. Oh and don't count on a GM to help you i played this game for 3 years and never saw one talked to a bunch but they wont come were you are they just logg on kick hackers on logg of and every one is like GM = MESH HER0Z, so yeah

Other : 3/10 this game has no story line like all MMO'S but you know its fun there are a lot of other side quest you can do and stuff like that but really not that much without having to do somthing of great time to get there ... or pay

Overall : 3.5/5 i spent a lot of time on and off playing this game and i had A LOT of fun there are a lot of thing to do and its interactive especially if you have freinds i recommend this game to anyone thats wants to play a free MMO'S for download go to http://www.mapleglobal.com/ click and download.

Spiderman 3

Jay/Jon:

Yah, I'm reviewing a movie NOT a game.I'm gonna get used to doing this. I'm not going to use my usual system and just point some things out. BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF 2007 Mask Ripoff. This doesn't even compare to spiderman two.Better effects but horrible story.OMGWTF TWO NEW VILLAINS WHICH WERE EXPECTED SINCE LAST YEAR?
Carnage is the only villain which they havent used yet. That and madam spider or somthing. Who isn't a villain.I could've gone to see 300 or somthing else. Even though I think 300 sucks.The dancing scene, Mood swings,rose thing, two girl storyline ALL from the mask which did this 100 times better.

6/10 Oh and the commercial "TOP GROSSING SPIDERMAN FILM"Only reason this happened was because we thought it wouldn't suck. DON'T EXPECT ME TO GO SEE THE NEXT ONE.
I suggest not going to see this. Oh and Harry dies. Ruined the movie. ^^

School Tycoon

School tycoon IMO(In My opinion) is an amazing game. Mall Tycoon sucks. School Tycoon <33

Sound : 2/10 ... No sound at all except for the sound you get for clicking on a building which gets very annoying. two for minor effort on sound for natural disasters.

Gameplay : 8/10 Amazing tycoon game you can build a MINI GOLF COURSE beside an ARCADE ZOMGZ even though you don't get to experience the arcade or anything if you look when people go on your half pipe. You can watch people wipe out.Who cant enjoy that? x] a Cheap school You get coupons in a school newspaper WOW CHEAP x]But in fun you can cause all the natural disasters at once, Fire, Tornado, Earthquake x] Burning Tornados with trembling buildings.Money per schoolbus.

Graphics : 7/10 Average graphics like any other tycoon game. better than the ones you get in cereal boxes though. Like Sims 2 Graphics. pretty average.

Overall: 3/5 Average game ok graphics, annoying sound =[ Good gameplay not enough natural disasters?Tsunami's, Hurricanes, Dynamite accidents, Fire alarm accidents. Those wouldn't hurt.Fix the sounds a bit instead of same ones every time(*cough*LikeFamilyGuyVideoGame*cough*)and add some more natural disasters and this game will be much better. The annoying sounds will probably get you to quit the game and throw it out your window.More annoying than Eric x] Haha :P You wouldn't get that inside joke for me and Andrew.

Friday ^^

Well time for a confusing explanation of what happened x]
Ok soo... Andrew and John came to my house.Andrew carried my amp into John's dad's car.We went to Matt's house.I dropped off John at his house and Andrew at my house.Andrew's mom picked up Andrew.RABID MONKEYS RIDING ON BUNNIES EAT YOUR FACE.Andrew went home.

F.E.A.R : First Encounter Assualt Recon

These AI or amazing! my review is below ^^

Sound : 8/10 AMAZING SHOOTING EFFECTS AMAZING ROCKET EFFECTS Amazing all sounds.

Graphics : 8/10 Wow. You can even go slow motion! So deliciously useless. :P Rockets look amazing AI looks amazing gameplay looks better than the cutscenes graphic wise.

Gameplay : 9/10 YOU CAN GO SLOW MOTION OMG x] In multi-player games aswell. Your team shares the slow motion power up while your opponents slow down and you speed it. AI wont hesitate to crouch,jump EVEN EAT YOUR FACE OFF. These AI will work together jump duck hide in cover and everything.

Not enough to rate community.

Overall : 4/5 Amazing game with expansion pack aswell.

School!

Eeew. Our school is having a talent show and me and my friends are going to play Woman by Wolfmother x] I'm going to go over to his house to practice. Wish me luck for talent show Near end of June. Reviewing F.E.A.R Soon.

Legend Of Zelda : Twilight Princess

I'm doing the Wii Version.

Sound : 7/10 Ok... Don't tell me you don't love the classic sounds. It should never change along with some new slashing sounds. thats all. You can't change perfection, without harming it.

Interactivity : 5/10 I'm doing this section because its the Wii and you have to interact.
Well I'm not impressed AT ALL I thought it would be more actual interacting... You can play this sitting down the Wii controller for aiming is a bit oversensitive which screws your aim completely. Which makes me wonder... Why did I buy this? I could've saved some money and bought the GAMECUBE ONE its the same thing.The only difference is that the Wii version has higher quality cutscenes.

Gameplay : 7/10 Gameplay was O.K at most. I'm actually not impressed at a game I thought would be AMAZING. Fishing isnt fun at all, Aiming SUCKS, the slashing is annoying due to the delay your hand is having a seizure and you'll get like two slashs?Long gameplay though.Spend quite some time playing.Good storyline?

Overall : 3/5 Fishing sucked. Bobber goes down hold controller up ZOMGZ CAUGHT SOMTHING! This game didnt impress me at all. I'll be getting Excite truck soon so wait for that review ^^

World of Warcraft : Burning Crusade

Well this is my first game I'm reviewing and I hope you agree with me but if not,leave a comment below.

Sound : 2/10 Well world of warcraft has the SAME repeating sounds over and over "Hey!""May the stay with you""Ugh!" Etc. It's very annoying and gets old fast and makes me want to kill a squirrel mail it to blizzard and tell them that's better than their sounds :P

Graphics : 7/10 : I agree the graphics are ok, same spell animations step one foot back arm's raised. hand colour added.Large world though and each town and area doesn't repeat it self over and over.A large variety of monsters but in TBC(Burning Crusade) mostly reskinned monsters with raised stats.

Community : 6/10 A well community...World of Warcraft Forces you to interact with others to kill certain monsters and for raids as well as to overcome bosses.Though the community can be annoyed at you very easily you can just ask a guard.If no one will help you send in a support ticket and you'll get a staff to message you in like 4 hours and spam you macros. :P

Support : 5/10 Only way your ever going to get someone to help you without waiting four hours as my text above said is... Well visit the support forum or google.

Other : Well WoW has good modifications that can be freely downloaded for an extra stat bar to a Thott Bot on your client. Since not enough info to rate this I'm not going to rate it

Overall :3.5/5 Ok support, good modifications, annoying sounds, Pretty good graphics and the gaurds will help you more than people or GMs will. The TBC also adds onto your experiance with a raised level cap and more areas.

Gaming Lighthouse

Well I started this blog to review games because I'm getting a new computer soon. :P I want to keep track which games I think are unique well and have nice elements.
All suggestions for games to be reviewed will probably be reviewed. ^^
I will rate from #/5 because it is more basic.I'll start with some PC Games and probably some PS2 and Wii Games because I own those consoles. ^^ In my opinion the Ps3 sucks anyway. This is a brief description, Not :P to request a game to be reviewed send me an e-mail at Myishi_pwns_all@hotmail.com Welcome to Gaming Lighthouse
I will rate the separate sections from #/10 and the overall #/5.
