Best of the rest: xbox 360

This time I'm going to be choosing my top 6 xbox 360 games just like I did for the original xbox.

Firstly; It's Batman Arkham asylum. Now this is by far the best DC game ever, and the best ever batman game adaptation yet to be released. The graphics on it are stunning, the characters are highly detailed, and the asylum itself looks just as brilliant. The story line is gripping and riddled, with you never knowing just what the joker, or any other villain is going to unleash on Batman next. The gameplay is incredible as well. It makes you feel like Batman as you creep around the asylum taking out enemies one by one. The heart beat monitor is a nice little reminder of just how powerful and terrifying you can truly be at times; and especially as you isolate enemies. And with enemies armed with guns the game forces you to think up clever tactics and strategies with the help of your bat vision. The bat vision illuminates enemies and allows you to know where enemies are, and if they are armed or not. You also acquire other gadgets such as explosive gel and a zip-line gun. The explosive gel allows you to break through certain weak walls to get to a new or hidden area. The gel can also be used as a weapon if enemies are standing in front of the wall, allowing you to blow both them and the wall up at once. The zip-line gun/launcher can get you from 1 area of a room to another in a matter of seconds for a handy escape or to get into a place for a quick attacking movement. The line launcher can also be used as a weapon too, as you can launch your self into an enemy or even a group of enemies at full speed. Upgrades on this game are a very nice feature, allowing you to buy these handy gadgets, or unlock new fighting moves or improve your health and armour. The boss fights Are a nice variation from the stealth gameplay, and allow you to go in with both fists raised and requires a different tactical approach when usually facing enemies who are significantly bigger than you. The gameplay in itself somehow manages to not get repetitive as the stealth parts get increasingly more challenging. And some bosses such as killer croc require you to sneak through crocks lair collection samples of the Jokers magic concoction whilst quickly having to fire a bat-arang or run away if killer crock jumps out of the water or starts shaking the planks beneath you. The final part of gameplay is the hand to hand combat. Quite a lot of times in the game you will find yourself faced with a gang of thugs who you have to take out using just hand to hand combat, and possibly any gadgets if you get the chance. The combat is brilliant. With free flowing moves as you punch, kick, dodge then leap over your opponent to finally unleash a powerful finishing move. Once again it makes you feel incredibly powerful as you take on and usually defeat a whole gang of thugs single handily. After You have finished the story mode There is a number of different things you can do. Firstly you can go back and see if you can find all the riddler trophies, solve all of his riddles, and get all character interview tapes scattered around the asylum. Outside of the campaign there is also arena fights where your aim is to take out as many waves of enemies as you can before you die. It can be pretty fun especially as the enemies get tougher meaning you have to be a lot more cautious and tactical. The final extra is the predator challenges In which you have to tactically and strategically use your stealth moves to take out all of the enemies as quick as possible. Not only this but the game sets you challenges to complete by taking enemies out in certain ways. This means that you really do have to plan out how you are going to approach the situation, as 1 small move can completely change the thought and movement patterns of the enemies. With this these challenges mean that the game is truly one of the most genuinely strategical and tactical games as it forces you to create your path carefully and with a lot of thought if you want to complete all of the challenges set in the level. This allows something which most games don't offer, and that's freedom. You can approach these challenges however you feel. Unlike most games which force you to complete them their way and their way only. If I was being ultra critical I would say that these challenges within the challenge maps can be one of the games floors. As in real life you would not go out of your way to make your victory look spectacular. You would instead just try and do what is easiest to get the job done. But as I said this is being ultra critical as it does make the game more interesting and challenging. There are many extra challenges to play so there is a lot to keep you entertained until the release of Arkham City!

My next game is the game Bionic commando. Now this isn't necessarily a game that would be in everyones to 5 or 6 list of games, but I think it's different yet still highly enjoyable. You play as a soldier who had lost his arm in battle and so was forced to replace it with this robotic arm. The story line isn't that complex, nor in depth. But I believe that the gameplay definitely makes up for it in my opinion. Now the arm allows you to move very much like spiderman. As you latch onto a lamppost or a building, you swing and let go in mid air at the highest point. Then you latch onto the nearest thing that is now in front of you in the air. It seems simple enough, and maybe too simple for some. But once you master the timing of it all, it's actually pretty satisfying swinging through the air in a smooth flow and rhythm. And it does make you feel quite powerful as you perfectly time every swing to perfection making it look so easy. And then the next main part is the combat. Now you can pick up guns every now and then, and also explosives. But with no ammunition you have one great alternative; your bionic arm. With your arm you can do multiple things. Close range attacks are very powerful, but far attacks allow to latch onto enemies like a rope. You can pick up enemies and chuck them. Pick up object and chuck it. Use your arm to smash rocks at enemies and objects. Their aerial attacks such as slamming your ram down onto the ground causing a a massive ripple in the surrounding area. And as the game progresses and your enemies get bigger and more powerful. You are given a whole host of different moves and gadgets to keep you satisfied right up until the end.

My third game is one that I'm sure most people would have heard of; and that's star wars the force unleashed. Now this is a game that had very mixed reviews about it. Some people found it disappointing, others just average but could be improved. And others like me found it brilliant. The story line is about a young boy who Vadar stumbles across when battling against the boys father, and the young boy tries to use the force to stop vadar. Vadar sees the potential in him and decides to spare his life, but bring him up with the dark side. You then later on play as Vadar's young apprentice as he does Darth Vadar's evil bidding. The thing that I found most appealing about this game, as the title "THE FORCE UNLEASHED" suggests; the game makes you feel incredibly powerful. You start off in the very 1st level as Darth Vadar himself and you immediately have all of the force powers at your disposal. This allows you to see what you could be later on in the game. As this level is what leads Vadar to the young boy. So as I mentioned the game makes you fell like almost a god as you take on enemies and make them look like planks of wood as you fling them through the air with complete ease. Then again as the enemies get larger in size the game requires more powerful moves and abilities, and a variation of attacks to defeat your opponent. With this comes an actin packed and highly explosive title that will surely blow you away with the force.

My fourth game is another one which may not be in everyones top games yet still got pretty high reviews. The game is wet. In which you play as a chick named Ruby; and she's far from a sweet and harmless princess. She is a trained killer armed with a gun or 2, and a samurai sword. The graphics are of a cartoony sort yet are still perfect for this action packed, yet slightly jokey game. The gameplay itself is very similar to games such as Max Payne and the matrix. In which you run across walls in slow motion and then shoot at your enemies. As Ruby you are equipped with everything from a pistol to a flaming crossbow. The game is filled with full on action and combo's as you run across walls, dive, shoot, then land on your knees and slide whilst shooting to finish your opponent with a deadly uppercut with your samurai sword. There are quite a few different moves and abilities available in the upgrade store and multiple weapons too. During the game you will come across 4 types of gameplay. firstly is the normal level scenes. Then there are arenas in which you are required to use all of your combo moves and in some ways tactically plan your route of who to take out first. In arenas you have to find all of the entrances and block them off so that no more enemies can join the fight. At the end of this there will sometimes be a final enemy to take out with a giant gun turret. As well as enemies having gun turrets, you do get to use a few along your journey. These scene are quite simple, but satisfying with this highly powerful gun taking out a large amount of enemies with ease, beats a pistol any day! The gun turret bosses require many shots mainly to the head to weaken them. And then you have to quickly stop them before they run away once they have taken too much damage. The 3rd type of gameplay is what I would call rage mode. When the whole screen goes red white and black (A bit like the intro song to casino royale) And you run at a large number of enemies all guns blazing. The gameplay isn't overly different from the rest but the pace of the game does seem to increase quite rapidly. The final type of gameplay is vehicle gameplay. Unfortunately you don't get to drive at all, but you do jump from vehicle to vehicle when the buttons flash up on the screen signaling for you to jump. Once again it doesn't bring that much more to the game. But it does just give you a nice bit of variety in the game. The only other variation is when you fall out of a plane and have to dodge and weave in and out of the planes body parts. You also have to take out a few enemies whilst free falling through the air. This again is a fun and unique variation requiring different co-ordination and reflex skills to complete the section. The main down falls of the game are luckily few, but the second one is a massive downfall. The 1st is the Lara Croft style climbing in which you leap from one hand hold to another. And one accidental slip and you'll plummet down to your death. Although again the climbing and swinging parts do give the game more variation, it can have some slight set backs every now and then. Finally is the games ending. The final 2 boss battles are done as cut scenes in which you tap whatever button appears on the screen, and Ruby performs a certain action against her opponent. Fail to do this and the scene shows you being defeated. If you successfully tap the right button then you will perform the next move in the sequence until you have finally defeated your opponent. For the final boss I would have expected and epic battle requiring skill and tactics. But instead all I got was a cut scene in which all I had to do was tap the buttons as they appeared on the screen to defeat the FINAL boss in the game. Even though this is a big down side to the game, everything else about it is still: epic!

Second to last is the game x-men origins; wolverine. This game is based on the movie that came with it, and goes by the story of how wolverine came to be this half man half wolf with metal claws person. And it goes right from the beginning to when he was just a child, then to when he meets William Striker who had formed a team of super beings. The game doesn't start as he is a child but instead just from his first big mission with William Striker as his leader. The game then goes on until things turn sour between Wolverine and Striker, for various reasons. And they then become enemies in the world of x-men. The gameplay is simple. It's all based on combo moves and special moves and power ups. With a pretty decent upgrade system to go with it. Now people say that this game is repetitive. And in a way it can't not be. A wolverine game was always just going to be based around destroying your opponents rather brutally. But the enemies get tougher and the variety of moves increases as the game progresses. This means you have to use your special moves tactically and save them until you need them for the bigger enemies. And so this is why it doesn't get boring. Because there are a number of moves and combos to unlock and perform. And the enemies do get tougher, requiring more skill and well thought out attacks to defeat them. Rather than just simply button mashing as other games will have you doing. The game seems to last a decent amount of time and flows quite nicely whilst jumping backward and forward in time to flashbacks in order to fill you in on any loose ends in the story line. The enemies vary pretty nicely and the boss battles are just as good requiring at times more complex and varied attacks in order to defeat your highly skilled and intelligent opponent. My 1 disappointment in the game is towards the end. The whole game seems to be of a nice length but then right at the end when you get to a key location in the game. You simply defeat a few easy enemies and then you have to face the 1st of 2 bosses. Now this is ok as the boss battles are good and the final boss as you'll see is a pretty tough opponent. But it would have been nice to have a bit more of a build up to get to the bosses. The only other variation of the game is when you are facing a sentinel as a boss. You weaken it and it flies up into the air. You latch onto it, damage it even more. But then go shooting down to the ground with it. With this section you have to dodge the incoming sentinel parts, or use your claws to destroy them. Once you get close enough to the sentinel you tap a button to latch onto it again and then damage it even more. You then repeat this a few times before you reach the ground eventually. The main thing about the game is that it is a movie game and most movie games just aren't that good. Simply because they are made just to go with the movie to make more money. But this is an exception. It feels like it has been well thought through and made like any other game with real ideas and intention in mind.

Finally is a recent game called Enslaved odyssey to the west. The story is a big part of the game and it starts pretty unusually. In the game you are straight away thrown into a climatic situation. Without any explanation you as your character called Monkey, have to get off of a spaceship before it blows up. I thought this was done brilliantly not only throwing you straight into the action, but not only this but the game already leaves you wondering what on earth is going on. Soon after you meet a character called Trip who forces Monkey to help her to get back to her home. Even though Monkey is far stronger than Trip, the game isn't called "Enslaved" for nothing. Monkey has a device on his head, put on him by Trip. And so if Monkey tries to harm Trip or escape, his head device will cause him to pay the price. The story line I must say is brilliant along with the rest of the game. Everything from the strong character bonds and personalities. To the twists and turns in the story. The gameplay splits into a few main categories. With Monkeys mighty strength there is of course always going to be fighting. Monkey has a staff which he uses in combat and Fighting the enemies in the game which are mechs of all varieties, different shapes and sizes. The staff itself does well to add a slightly more skilled style of fighting prepared to simple fist or sword fighting. The game like most in these genres has a fighting system of light attack, hard attack, special attack. And attacks that require you to push 2 buttons at once to perform the move. There are of course combo moves and a power up system that allows you to increase specific areas of Monkey. So combat, Monkeys staff, Health and armor As well as these combo moves you can also do finishing moves. These too can be a great help as some times when you take out a certain mech it will explode automatically stunning any surrounding mechs. And other mechs allow you to grab hold of them, then throw them at a mech or 2 just before the mech explodes. The boss battles are great as well. Not only requiring all of your skills and strength, but also some require logical tactics like using their strength against them, by dodging when they charge at you so they run into something. You also have ammo which comes in 2 types. The first is a fire blast which can sometimes take out a mech using 1 shot to the head. The other is a stun blast which will also temporarily disable any mechs with shields. there is also a dodge/evade button which is very useful with charging enemies or getting out of tight and enclosed situations and spaces. Finally by holding the attack button you will stun nearby enemies. Now although at the beginning of the game you may find yourself simply button mashing. By the end of the game when you have more moves and combos at your disposal, and the enemies increase in size and numbers; you certainly do become a master with a staff. 1 section I remember even forced me to really think about how to approach it. You face 3 waves of enemies before you move on. And in the area are a health pack and 1 set of stun bolts. You really have to use your health wisely as well as making sure not to use up your stun bolts too quickly. The other attacks are when you come across any gun turrets. This doesn't happen too often but it does make a nice, yet powerful change. Monkey also has 1 more surprise in store for you, as he shows you his final neat little gadget. It's called a cloud and works just like a hover board and is used to glide across water or during chase scenes. These sections have a unique and highly fresh feel to them and makes a brilliant change from walking around everywhere when you can glide at high speeds and shoot over ramps. The next part of gameplay is again the Lara Croft style climbing. I recently bought and completed uncharted 2, a game which involves a lot of climbing and jumping from hand holds. Enslaved differs from uncharted for 2 main reasons. Monkey again isn't called Monkey for no reason. As when he's jumping or swinging from pole to pole, and surface to surface. He does it with such agility and pace and it flows brilliantly like a monkey swinging from tree to tree. I remember 1 scene where you had to catch a dragonfly. The purpose of which is that this dragonfly would be what Monkey and Tip would use to scan and search areas before entering them. With Monkeys agility pace and rhythm it worked brilliantly and you did feel like an agile creature in the wild. The second of 2 reasons is that unlike with a lot of uncharted, there is a bigger sense of emergency. On the very 1st level the ship is about to crash into the top of a skyscraper. So unless you move quickly up the ship you get destroyed from the impact as the building collides with the ship. As well as this more hand holds through out the game will turn out to be un safe. So unless you move quickly they will fall and so will you if you are still holding onto them or standing on them. Although with uncharted certain things fall like in the 1st scene with the train. If the parts of the train fall you will just be left holding on even tighter. But with Enslaved if something falls then you fall with it. The final type of gameplay is small puzzles. Now they don't take a highly lateral mind to solve, but again it's just another variation of gameplay. The graphics are stunning. Highly colorful and detailed really making this fantasy world come to life right in front of your as you explore this incredible place. The only bad point I can think of with the game is that Monkey has a motor bike that he uses to travel across large distances with. When I saw Monkey shoot onto the screen with this motorbike, I thought wow, please say you get to drive it. Unfortunately this did not happen. Once again it would have just added that little bit extra to the game, just something more to show that this game is not just based around 1 type of gameplay; it's based around multiple types. But even without being able to ride the motorbike, the cloud still gives you the speed that you desire with the motorbike. So this is why Enslaved is such a good game; and possibly one of the best ones: That I have ever played!

So that concludes my best of the rest for xbox 360; hope you enjoyed reading it :)

Does poetry have to rhyme?

Recently I stumbled across a very interesting question: Does poetry have to rhyme? Well the real answer is no, just like asking do artists have to sing their own songs or can they make a living out of covering other peoples songs? Of course people can make a living out of doing that; but having your own material does help. Now poetry also doesn't have to rhyme, but it does help if it does. Why? Well I think this for a few reasons. Firstly without the use of rhyme what's to distinguish a poem from a descriptive piece of writing or a monologue?

It's not quite the same as reading a short story extract. Not just the layout of the poem, but stories always take you on a journey. But poem's don't always do that. Sometimes they can just be a description of something, someone ect. Or a concoction of thoughts feelings and emotions. Now a description as a poem is like a descriptive piece of writing in, or for a story. And a concoction of thoughts feelings and emotions is just like a drama monologue. Although poems can be highly riddled and cryptic, unlike stories and monologues; this isn't always the case with poems.

However for more experienced readers, books do become more intellectually challenging to decipher what exactly is happening in the story, the same with a cryptic poem. Secondly is the skill. Now poetry that rhymes can be seen as more clever than poetry that doesn't. And people say that if it doesn't rhyme it gives the writer freedom to put any word into the poem. Instead of being limited to only a few words to make it rhyme with an earlier part of the poem.

However I believe that the fact that the poet has managed to make the poem rhyme, whilst keeping to the topic or theme, actually make the poet more skilled.

Finally is the flow. Now often when a poem rhymes the poem flows better and has more of a sort of rhythm to it. Again this makes the poem more lever as the poet has even managed to add this flow and rhythm to it, but the flow and rhythm will also make the poem more memorable. As the poem has this flow and rhythm it makes it stand out among the rest, and therefore easier to remember compared to no rhyming poems.

So in conclusion as I said before, no poem do not have to rhyme; but personally: I think it makes them a whole lot better :)

Poem a month fourth entry

Poem a month fourth entry

The key to her heart

The key to her heart, isn’t easy to find. And most people just lose their mind.

The key to her heart, just where could it be? Is it really impossible to see?

The key to her heart could be anywhere. As this is a game, that just isn’t fair.

Could it be inside a treasure chest? Or hidden somewhere, in a birds nest?

But that’s to obvious a place for it to be. For an item like such a precious key.

Could it be camouflaged on the floor, in a cupboard, behind the door? In a box, or on a shelf; but then I suddenly thought to myself.

The key to her heart, is a poem like this, giving her such a moment of bliss. And as she reads the poem, her heart starts to open. As it was wounded, but now repaired; as her heart is no longer broken.

Miloism of the month 3rd entry

The 3rd Miloism of the month is all about his wife, misses Milo :) Milo has a toy soft tiger which he wrestles with and carries around everywhere. There relationship really started when one day he dragged her to his mat/ bed and then he fell asleep next to her. He does sometimes bite her by the mouth, or in our term; passionately kiss her. As she is quite heavy when he grabs her by the mouth he then sometimes fails to lift her. Again seeming like they are frozen in a romantic kiss. Milo is actually quite a player, or more like a 2 timer, as along came willy bear. About 5 years ago my brother was given a teddy bear, with a giant willy. We introduced Milo to will bear and instantly there became tension and competition. Milo came quite close to marrying misses Milo when we had a special pet service at the synagogue. This was followed by a wedding, one that the rabbi nearly got confused by, making it a pet wedding for Mr and Misses Milo :)

poem a month 3rd poem

So this is my 3rd poem a month entry; enjoy:

Through the fire

Through the fire there is misery, through the fire there is pain. And through the fire there is a boy, who will never see his family again.

Through the fire there is devastation, through the fire there’s no hope. And through the fire there is a boy, who is finding it hard to cope.

Through the fire there is horror, through the fire there is loss. And through the fir there’s a gang, who wanted to show the world whose boss.

Before the fire there was a boy, who was quietly laying in bed. When suddenly the house was alight. And all of his family were dead.

Through the fire he saw the smoke, through the fire he saw the flame. And through the fire he knew; who exactly was to blame.

Through the fire there was an exit, through the fire there was a drain. And through the fire he climbed down it; in the pouring rain.

Through the fire he called the fire-brigade, through the fire he nervously waited. And through the fire he knew; what a war this fire had created.

Through the fire he wanted to kill them, through the fire that’s what he said. And through the fire there were so many thoughts; running through the small boys head.

Through the fire the boy sat crying, through the fire we knew what was wrong. As this heart broken boy sits on the pavement, he knows his parent, are already: gone!

Must be the music live final

Must be the music is another reality tv show in which acts audition and try and sing their way into the next round. If the act is good enough to get to the final, not only does it mean they are at the final stage; but the final stage will be taking place at wembley arena!

The show differs from other shows like x-factor in the way that not only do the bands commonly sing original songs, but they can perform as whole bands as well; with their full set of instruments.

The arena was packed out with roughly about 10,000 people; pretty immense eh? No-one really knew how the artist would perform; especially as for some of them, it was only the third time they had ever performed to an audience!

It's fair to say; that the show was a massive success. To start off with just the fact that it had 10,000 people meant that it certainly wasn't unpopular. And then the show over all. Well it was brilliant in my opinion. All of the acts reached up to their expectations; and the atmosphere was superb. But that's just the basics on what made the show so good.

To start off let's talk about the acts themselves. They were: Missing Andy, Emma's Imagination, Daithi, The pictures, Pepper and piano, and Hero.

To start off it was Missing Andy. And they certainly had my vote. They seemed like true entertainers commanding the stage and creating an absolutely massive atmosphere. The song was great and as well was highly catchy.

Then Pepper and piano. Now for a band that had only really been together for a matter of months, they were incredible. They sang quite a sweet and heart warming song and was also highly memorable.

Next up was Daithi. He plays the violin, but with a difference. he uses a loop machine to record beats right there and then, and then also loop them. He then uses his violin to play other beats and loops he has just created. Everyone seemed to wonder with him, how long can we hear it before it just becomes repetitive. Well; no matter what he still put on a great show. The beats were fast and very high tempo, and the sound worked brilliantly in the big arena.

Next was Emma's imagination. She was simply a girl and her guitar. I must say that for a girl and her guitar she still created an excellent atmosphere. Her song was a gentle, yet emotional song, and was sang beautifully.

Second last was The pictures. I had really liked their song in the previous round; yet this time I wasn't as impressed. It was a pretty typical sounding rock song, loud drum beat and guitar, but just not as catchy as I found the song by Missing Andy was.

Finally was Hero. Now there is no doubt that this young girl at only the age of 11, is a highly talented harpist and and singer. Yet it was apparent that at this young age she still had a lot of progression to do. This show would get her the support and the help she needed, for her to carry on as a musician, and only get better and better over the next few years.

My running order. I personally would have said:

1st- Missing Andy

2nd- Pepper and piano

joint 3rd- Daithi and Emma's imagination

4th- Hero

and finally The pictures.

The 3 acts that went through to the final stage were: Missing Andy, Emma's imagination, and The pictures.

Missing Andy were as good as ever, singing another great and highly catchy song.

Emma's imagination sang another soft and gentle song, and again was sang to perfection.

And The pictures sang the song they did in the previous round, which was better and more catchy, but over all I had to say Missing Andy just had the edge.

My favorite act may have been Missing Andy, but that was mainly because I liked there style of music and they are the sort of band that I would listen to and buy their album.

In the end it was Emma's imagination who grabbed the title of must be the music 2010 winner!

It's fair to say it was thoroughly deserved with 2 highly emotional songs both with great power and brilliance. It was amazing to think that this girl went from being just a busker on the street; to winning must be the music!

The judges. There were 3 superstar judges for the show, and they were: Jamie Cullum, Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas, and also Dizzee Rascal. On the night not only did the 3 of them judge the acts, but also they performed as well.

Jamie was fantastic; not only is he a highly talented pianist, but also a great singer.

Sharleen sang a texas classic: "You make me feel", and it was a great choice. It worked so well with the big arena and the sound with top notch.

Finally Dizzee sang bonkers. And again the up beat fast tempo song worked well with a large arena, with the crowd going wild and a brilliant light show on display as well; as you would expect from Dizzee.

The obvious question for this sow is how: How does it compare to the x-factor? Well, to be honest I actually prefer it. Not only do the artist get to sing original songs; avoiding any cheap karaoke covers of songs. But also with the full band being allowed to play as well; you really get the complete feel of the bands sound and their style.

So over all I think must be the music is a excellent show; so x-factor: you better watch out!

Review: The umbrella academy- apocalypse suite

Apocalypse suite is a graphic novel I had been wanting for a while; mainly because of it's writer. The one and only Gerard Way from my chemical romance. I knew that he had studied art before he took up music but it wasn't till quite a bit later that I discovered he had written a graphic novel.

Let me just start off by saying that I loved it. Everything from the great one liners to the gripping story line. The story itself starts off quite simple. 7 kids are born all at the same time all from mothers who were not ever pregnant. Strange enough on it's own I know. And then we find out that these 7 children are all uniquely special; and by that I mean special abilities: super powers!

The term super powers in graphic novels and comics is obviously one that is seen to be far too over used. Where's the originality? Well the cleverly thought out plot is the original bit. A gang of villainous evil masterminds want to take over the world; but it's how they intend to do it that gains the plot it's brilliantness and originality.

The story starts off with these kids on a mission at first. But then leads on to when they are grown up. Tragic events have taken place and the 7 of them have lead separate pathways. The story then leads on at a nice and steady pace with how the 7 f them are forced back together; to fix the problems that are unfolding in the story line.

The book shows a great diversity of humor; to true; strong and powerful emotion. The action is nicely paced and spaced out and the art does well not to over crowd the scenes; especially with 7 heroes fighting off all of the enemies. The action also does well not to seem too forced. Like the makers have just added an unnecessary explosion or fight scene just to make the story interesting. Instead the action ties in nicely with the story line; and shows the exciting; gripping and explosive plot as it's reaching it's climax during the action scenes.

Finally is the term graphic novel. This is really shown at some point in the novel; as it sure is graphic. As someone's head explodes right out of the page: it sure shows the rue meaning of a GRAPHIC novel! However this again is done very nicely as a way of showing the characters true power; feeling; anger and emotions.

So The umbrella academy - apocalypse suite is really a great and highly enjoyable read. From it's humorous plot suddenly turning emotional and dramatic; to the action as it explodes off of the pages!

Firebox press event

The firebox press event was an event held by firebox (Duh) where they displayed all of their new released and soon to be released products for the press (Also duh)

Firebox held a competition to write a review of any of their products. The winners review not only gets posted on pocket lint (A gadget new and reviews website) but as you may have guessed from the title of the blog the winner also gets to go to the press event. I was home one weekend when I checked my twitter. I saw that firebox had posted the winners up. As I saw that the winners were Joel and 1 other person; that's when my hopes started to go up quite a bit.

I then quickly clicked on the link to see that this Joel they had mentioned in the tweet was indeed me. The winner of firebox writer of the year competition; I was speechless!

I never win anything. I mainly enter art competitions on a website called deviantart. And I'm always well aware that I am up against professional artists. But I enter them anyway so that I can say I've entered; and that I've used my time a bit more productively. But I had also entered a few writing competitions; I knew that my writing was a lot more developed than my art; but still I'm up against professional writers.

To be honest it was more the creativity that made the difference and the impact. Even though it was a review (something I'm practicing doing as often as I can) I decided to do my review as a poem. So that all of it rhymes, but describes all the products positives through rhyme.

It was a risk; I had no idea what the judges were looking for, and if pocket lint were going to submit a review like this on their website; as it was obviously COMPLETELY different from their style. So I hoped that they would like my different style of reviewing. Luckily for me they really did :)

So the press event itself. I went with my brother Jonathan and luckily the day was perfect, as we finished school at 12 o'clock due to their opening evening. This meant I had time to go up to london, shop a bit; and then get something to eat.

As I walked up to organizers; they said to me " Can I help you" sounding quite confused as if thinking " but you don't look very buisinessy!" I then told them that I was the competition winner and they showed me to one of firebox's organizers. She told us what it was and how we can simply go to whichever stool and product we want, and take a look.

I must say that it felt pretty good feeling quite important for once, among all these top journalists and gadgety people. We even found out that dragon Duncan ballantyne was there earlier showing off one of his new products.

The products there ranged from a remote control tron motorbike, to a giant nerf gun, all the way to a tiny desktop vacuum cleaner. We stayed for a couple of hours testing out the various new and soon to be released gadgets, and in some case trying to work out what an earth it is. Like a mini acupuncture bed, with plastic nails: is it meant to be relaxing-wow!

At the end of it after we had pretty much tried out everything; including really cool 3d cameras and the giant nerf gun (trying not to accidently hit the same person repeatedly) And we were both given a goody bag with various firebox products inside.

In the end it was a brilliant day; to roam around and have a bit of a play. But I Had thought earlier, that just winning was good enough; but it was still really cool; to see all their new stuff!

Short stories

As you already know I enjoy writing the odd story every now and then. So here is a short story for you to read and hopefully enjoy :) So here is the story of snow white retold; told from the perspective of the so called EVIL stepmother.

Snow White retold

As the mirror smashed to the ground, so did my hopes and my dreams. Everyone says I’m the evil stepmother; some even call me a witch! All my life all I have ever done was care for my beautiful step daughter, my precious Snow White... After her real mother died when she was just a baby, and her father abandoned her, I took her in and looked after her. She was everything to me, all I have ever done was protect her; from him: the evil servant. Let me start back at the beach 10 years ago. the beach was a place where my mother use to take me when i was a child. it had beautiful rocks, and the sea was as clear and as blue as the sky above us. the bright green palm trees standing there so tall like soldiers with their branches reaching out into the heavens. I had gone off to get us both an ice cream, when he first appeared in her life. He tried to make her go into the water, he tried to drown her! As I walked along the golden beach, with the sun blazing out at me; not everything was fine and dandy. I ran over and pulled her out of the water, he had left her to drown. she was only a child.

All throughout her life he had tried to separate us, yet I never saw his face clearly, except for once. He stared at me, I saw deep into his eyes. That pure look of insanity, his face practically spelled out the words evil. Face like a disease, scars you on the inside, yet shows no traces of damage on the outside. I think he loved me, I mean why else would you want to get rid of my dear Snow White? Snow White was a perfect step daughter, so kind, caring, and always really considerate towards other people. I had always wanted her to be a model when she was older. The mirror was my present to her for her 8th birthday. She was a precious rare gem, she was simply one of a kind...

We lived together in a nice little house. It had blue window frames, and dark orange roof tiles. The bricks were a dark red color and we had flowers of every kind, and color growing in our front garden.

I hired a servant “ Why do things yourself when you can have someone else do it for you? ” , is what i always use to say. I had seen his advert in a leaflet that was put through my front door. The servant was of a short stature, not tiny, but more on the short side. he wore very plain clothes and had a hunched back.

I said to him, the servant: “ Why don’t you take Snow White out just for a bit of fresh air; whilst I get on with my housework? ” He agreed to this, but I never did see that evil smile appear upon his face as he turned away from me!

As Snow White walked through the bright green woods, she could hear the birds calmly singing; with the smell of flowers and freshly cut grass gently filling her nostrils. As the warm breeze slowly brushed against her face: she never saw what was coming next; and neither did i! He lied, just like he had done every other time. He told her to run, and never return. He said as well that i had sent him to kill her! Guess he wasn’t a murderer after all, just didn’t have it in him.

He came back to the house, he walked over to me.

“ Finally we are alone my dear ”

“ But where is Snow White ” I asked?

Don’t worry; she is safe” he lied.

I am not usually an aggressive person, so this was completely out of character.

“ Get out ” I screamed!

In fear, he shot out of the house, not even thinking to look back. He ran past the old wishing well and raced down the smooth stone pathway. I must have seemed like the Devil myself; with the fires from Hell burning the ground beneath me! I sat alone and thought to myself how Snow White must be feeling right now. I felt so guilty for letting this stranger in to our home: what have I done? I had failed her, how could i have been so blind: was i really a bad mother?

After a few days I faced my demons and went to see her. I hoped that she would not have believed the servant that i had sent him to kill her. Whilst walking through the dark and gloomy woods, the trees hung over me like hands reaching out to grab me! A man suddenly approached me.

“ Where are you going young lady? ” he asked.

“ I am going to visit my daughter ” I replied and, “ And don’t i recognize you? ”

“ No, i don’t believe we have met before.” “ Here, why don’t you give this apple to your daughter?” he said to me.

He held out the apple. It’s bright green surface glistened in the sunlight.

“ I picked it freshly this morning from the finest tree in the forest ”.

“ Ok then, thank you ” I said to the kind man.

I carried on walking down a long, bumpy pathway. I reached a small peaceful cottage. I wondered if she was there; but as she softly sang to herself from inside the house, I knew it was her. Her voice like waves, gently hitting rocks. So soft, so calm and so relaxing. I walked up to the front door; it was small and red. I decided to put my hood up, I couldn’t risk her realizing it was me. Even though I had done nothing wrong, she would feel it was my fault that the servant had come out here to kill her. All I wanted to do was find her, make sure she was alright, then come back when I am ready and the time was right… I knocked on the wooden door, it felt all rough. Like it had spent all it’s time doing good, when in the end it only takes a beating for all the bad in the World. The door opened.

“Hello deary” I said. “ I am starting up a business around here delivering apples to your door ”. “I was wondering if you wanted to try a free sample? ”

She said yes and offered to pay. I insisted that she didn’t. I walked away knowing she was safe; yet still crying inside.

A few days later, I was sitting alone in my house. I heard a horn; I wondered what it could be? As I looked out of the window, a very well dressed man rode by on a horse. I wondered if he could be Royalty, maybe a Prince? I saw as well what appeared to be the Prince’s loyal companions and courtiers all dressed in extravagant red velvet. I quickly grabbed my coat and went to see what was going on. A big crowd had gathered. I stood at the back. I could see at the front seven small looking men: I wonder if they were dwarfs? And then there was a coffin. I couldn’t see who was inside. I peeped through a gap in the crowd; it was Snow White! My heart sank. I started to panic: how could this happen? What had happened? I managed to calm myself down. “ i prayed that somehow she was going to be alright ”, I told myself, please just be alright. The Prince got off of his horse. He was tall, handsome with a very good posture dressed in the finest satin in the land. He looked like a strong and fierce lion on the outside, but inside he was a soft, sweet and kind puppy. He walked towards Snow White. He bent over; he gave her a kiss. Everything went silent. Everyone anxiously waited to see what would happened, then suddenly; her hand twitched! Her eyes slowly opened. “Where am I ” she asked rather confused. “ You are safe now my dear, replied the Prince.” “ Come with me to my castle. ” he added. The two of them rode off into the sunset. As they set off into the distance, I stood there: sad, heartbroken and all alone.

The best of the rest- original xbox

This is the feature where I am going to be picking my favorite games for the different consoles. This time it's the original xbox. These by the way are in no particular order. So they are all equally as good. So here is my top 6. I tried to get it down to a top 5, but it was too difficult to eliminate any of the games. But comes on; it's not like there's a rule that you HAVE to have things as either top 3s, 5s and tens.

so Firstly is Oddworld strangers wrath. In the game you play as a bounty hunter ridding the place of bounties and villainous foes. You have 2 main weapons. Firstly is your rather tough fists. and secondly is a crossbow type gun. The difference is with this weapon is that the ammo you use is live bugs! Each bug has a different effect on your enemy. some will simply zap or stun your enemy, where as other are explosive or will latch onto your enemy biting vigorously at their flesh; nice! Each enemy you have to capture has a certain price depending on how dangerous they are. You will also earn more money by simply stunning your foe, and sucking him up using your special weapon. Stranger himself is an extremely enjoyable character to play as. He appears to be half beast, well; he's certainly got the pace and agility of a lion or a tiger. As you sprint through the game at full speed and leaping through the air, it truly is satisfying. The graphics are quite simple but show an effective view of the once peaceful towns. Stranger himself looks like a typically cool and sly bounty hunter; keeping his cool even when heavily outnumbered. the enemies also are made to look very much like goblin type characters; creating a nicely evil feel to them. The gameplay is done very well in the way that the enemies get harder, and your weapon variety gets increasingly bigger. With the increases of toughness in your enemies; it really can sometimes encourage a nice tactical strategic type gameplay of how you are going to pick off your enemies 1 by one. The only problem I found with the game is saving it. Unlike most games oddworld allows you to save the game every time you take even a single step forwards. This can sometimes encourage you to simply take out an enemy, and then save it each time you take out the next enemy. It makes the game a lot less challenging and doesn't always allow you to make the most of the tactical and strategic style of gameplay.

secondly is grabbed by the ghoulies. The story of the game is that you and your friend are walking along on a normal day, but then it starts raining. So you decide to take shelter in an old creepy and spooky mansion: big mistake. Your friend is quickly kidnapped from you, and you are left alone in the mansion to try and get her back! The game works in the way that the levels are pretty much each room of this enormous mansion. However there are individual chapters to this story. The gameplay works in what is seemed to be a very unique way. It seems like a simple fighting game as you fight the various enemies in the mansion; but the unique part is in the way you fight them. You have to fight them following certain rules and regulations. Like complete the room by not taking any damage, finding a hidden key; using weapons only, and many more. Sometimes you are made to also complete these tasks in a certain amount of time. If you either run out of time or brake the rules; then you will have to face the wrath of the grim reaper! One touch of his hand and you will instantly be brought to your doom. But you can use him to your advantage; as anything he touches dies. So by running behind enemies they will be killed by the grim reaper. If your mission is to eliminate all enemies in a certain amount of time; then by killing a few enemies for you, grim could actually complete the challenge for you; therefore opening the next door for you as well. The story. As I said the story has various different chapters, and in each of these come missions, extra challenges; and complications for your character. The story runs pretty smoothly and does not make you feel like the complications have only been added to extend the length of the game. Finally is the graphics. Now these are a particularly good feature of the game as the many ghoulish monsters and characters are animated very nicely in a cartoony way, adding comedy to the game as these skeletons throw a monster disco!

Thirdly is voodoo Vince. The story of this game starts with a shopkeeper getting kidnapped. In the process of this using some magic zombie dust, vince the voodoo doll is brought to life. The game then follows a pathway of vince going throughout the levels with each level getting closer to his master. The controls are quite simple. Simple punch button, one to do a spin attack ( like crash bandicoot) and another one lets you float in the air. The best part of Vince's attack comes from his special abilities. once your power up meter is full vince can release a special attack. Being a voodoo doll a small animation then comes on the screen involving Vince getting killed in some way. This then automatically kills the enemies a certain distance away from him. The good thing is the uniqueness of self-harming to harm others, and the wide range of death animations. The bad side is that all of the death animations have the same effect; instant death. None of the power ups are any more powerful than the last. So although you get a new animation; it still has the same old effect. The platforming elements of the game however are superb. it's brilliantly fun whilst riding around on a giant rat, shooting in a rocket ship, and slinging your way through a magical swamp world/level. The graphics at times can be seen as one of the weaker elements as they can at times be seen as quite dull and grainy. However the settings and locations in this fantasy game do make up for it nicely. The only other bad elements of the game is firstly how sometimes it's very unrealistic. Not the fact that it's a fantasy game, but how when gliding towards a ledge and he misses it ever so slightly; vince doesn't make the effort to even try to grab onto the ledge. So instead you just fall to your doom! The final bad point is how when you run out of lives the game automatically sends you back to the main menu, instead of just being able to reload from last checkpoint.

Next is crimson skies. You play as a pilot/ action dogfighter flying around in your cool old fashioned style fighter plane, having dogfights in the sky and shooting enemy planes out of the air. The basic concept of the game is simple, it's a shooting game with planes. But with a whole variety of missions, planes, and gun turrets; there's certainly enough to keep you entertained and busy. The enemies actually are varied quite nicely. Ranging from a simple fighter plane, to a Zeppelin; all the way to a giant robot. The graphics are nicely done, with great detail on each of the different planes that are available to you. Finally is the story line, and as friends go missing and giant robots suddenly appear in your way; just like the planes; the game also does some brilliant twists and turns along the way!

Second to last is Conkers bad fur day. This game is truly hilarious, the humor is brilliant and really well thought through; so much so that it even makes you want to watch the cut scenes. The gameplay again is of a very platform style. With battling monsters such as a giant poo and a talking pitchfork guy; you kind of get the idea that not only is this a platform style game; but it's not completely serious. You play as Conker, a squirrel, who has woken up after a hang over the night before, and has found himself in a strangely magical place. He starts with the brilliant phrase of " it's just going to be another one of those days." A brilliant phrase that I'm sure most people can relate to where you know from the morning that it's just not going to be a good day. The game then continues as he makes his way through this magical land. On the way you Have to solve puzzles and run through this platformer facing any living, or non living objects that get in your way. The graphics once again are done in a rather cartoony and jokey way and the animation for this magical world is very well done and I see it as a stereotypical fantasy/ fairytale like world that we all imagine when we try and think of them. Finally Is the story line. Now as I said this is Absolutely HILARIOUS throughout, as you come across various characters, face new foes; and watch the brilliantly made cut-scenes unfold. The final added bit to Conkers bad fur day is the online and the multiplayer co-op. This lets you play as Conker as a soldier, with various weapons and enemies; it will keep you and your friend entertained for hours. The thing that I found so ironic about this added part to the game; is simply the way this cute little squirrel; is now in a soldiers outfit shooting down his enemies!

Finally is a game called Kung fu chaos. You play as a character in a movie. And each level is the next scene from the movie. As you can probably tell from the title, there is obviously going to be quite a lot of fighting; kung fu style! But that's not all the game offers, as although some levels simply have you fighting your way through the level; whereas other levels have you in a rubber ring trying to knock the enemies off of the iceberg you are standing on. Other platform style levels include literally throwing your rescued damsel in distress straight at your enemies. Catching stuntmen as they fly out the window; all the way to escaping from zombies in a maze pacman style. The graphics of the game certainly suit the cartoony, comedy action super hero style. And finally the story line. Well this was probably always going to be a strong point with the game being done as a movie. So as you play through action packed levels, and then go to extremely ridiculous challenge scenes; the story line follows the pathway of the scenes being both very action packed, and extremely ridiculous, yet still very amusing!

So that concludes my review to the top 6 ( not 5 ) games for the original xbox; hope you enjoyed it.

miloism of the month 2nd entry

This is the 2nd Miloism of the month; and this time it's looney hour. Every day there is ALWAYS, AT LEAST 1 hour of the day where he just goes completely looney! He will dash around the garden at lightening speed like a headless chicken; he will bark and growl at the football; and then he sprints towards you and nips at your hand. Throw him a ball and boy will he chase it; but just don't expect him to give it back to you or hand it over! The strange thing about Milo is how he is on a completely different time zone to everyone. We sometimes take him out at night and somehow he still has SO MUCH ENERGY! And tug of war is the best with Milo, because he may be small; yet he acts as if he's got the strength of a lion. Yeah we obviously always win the tug of war; but that doesn't stop him putting up a fight! Now, this may not seem that cute to you ( A wild, growling, biting dog running at you at full speed) but the cute bit comes after his looney hour. As after looney hour he ALWAYS just crashes out. He's only a little pup; and he just used up all the energy he had in 1 hour. It's so cute to see how this wild and aggressive pup: is really just a cute little baby when he's curled up on the floor :)

poem a month 2nd poem

This is the second poem in my feature of " poem a month " Enjoy :)

Bacon boy

There once lived a boy, who looked like a pig. He had a small tail, and his nose was really big.

He lived on a farm, in the country side. Where he sat alone each day; and then he cried.

“Why cant I be normal, like a real by? Why can I feel emotions; like happiness and joy?

One wish was all he would need. Then something special happened indeed.

Then along came a witch, who was rather nutty. And she turned him into; a nice bacon butty.

Miloism of the month

For anyone who doesn't already know yet; we have a new puppy! He is a boy called Milo, and he is the BEST dog in the world! :) So I have decided to try and do a new feature called Miloism of the month.

And the 1st one is right here for you:

1. Even though Milo has a whole range of toys to play with. One his 1st favorite toy was in fact; my step dads flip flop! From then he moved onto another item of clothing, around the same area of the body. And that is socks. He loves socks and will literally try and pull then off of you're feet whilst you are wearing them. The trick is to loosen the sock for him; well, unless that is you actually what him to bit you're toes!! Milo can sometimes literally wrestle with the flip flop, so mum made an ingenious invention. As any dog owner will tell you; dogs love chasing footballs and tennis balls cricket ball ect. So mum combined this with his other favorite toy. In the end she put the small plastic cricket ball inside the sock. so now he bites the ball inside. Drags the sock. And then wrestles with the sock ball!

So that is just a very brief insight to our new puppy: Milo

Poem a month

This is a new feature I would like to call "Poem a month" It's pretty self-explanatory, I simply post 1 poem; a month.

So here is my 1st poem to start us off. It's one that I like to call: "Ant girl" Hope you like it :)

Ant girl

There once lived a girl, the size of an ant. She would walk and walk until she started to pant.

Ant girl didn’t rally have a home. So she would just sit in the shade, all alone.

Until one day, Ant girl met a flea. “Do you want to be friends with me?”

The flea said yes, and climbed on Ant girl’s back. But left Ant girl with an itching attack.

The two friends would be best friends forever. But what I thought wasn’t quite so clever: Was that Ant girl had said that size doesn’t matter. Just before a shoe; ended the two friends with a splatter.

inception film review

Before I start please know that this review could contain what some people would consider as spoilers.

Intro: I went to see inception almost the day after it came out. Even though this would not usually give the critics enough time to review it, there had been a few previews in which gave the film some very positive feedback. So; I knew that so far it had got some pretty good reviews, yet what I didn't know was much about the plot or the story-line. I knew it had something to do with dreams, and people who specialized in dreams; but without knowing much about the film how are you meant to know how someone can specialize in dreams? The film is directed by Christopher Nolan, a director I strongly admired before the film. His two batman films were brilliantly made and directed, and his film the prestige was simply incredible with it's dramatic twist at the end of the film as the film only gives away small amounts of information as the movie goes on.

The review: Now; onto the review. When I first came out the cinema my initial reaction was "Wow, Christopher Nolan's done it again." But as the evening went on I realized just how big an impact the film had actually had on me.

The story was as I said about dreams. But the idea of dreams mixing with reality. How is this possible, well; the masters of this art called "inception" have devices allowing them to be conscious, inside what should be their subconscious. This allows them to freely enter the dream dimension and explore it but also create it, as after all: It is your mind you're walking in! The purpose of this unique device is not just to walk within your own subconscious, but other peoples. With this you can steal thoughts, memories; or even information from someone else's mind. The best part though is not just extracting the information, but instead doing it without the person even knowing you have extracted it. How? Well this all links back to dreams; as the person is made to believe that the thief was just part of their dream!

The cast: The main character Cobb is played by Leonardo DiCarprio. He does a Brilliant job in showing Cobb's character for what he truly is. A highly intelligent inventor, with a creative and excellent mind to match his strong and confident personality. Ellen Page plays another key character. She is in-charge of designing the dream worlds. She again does very well in playing the role of this intelligent and very imaginative character with an equally curious mind always wanting to learn more.

There is however 1 more key thing that these devices allow you to do. As well as extracting information, it also allows you to plant information, causing your victim to randomly feel the urge to do something; like go out and buy the film inception. Then suddenly you will have the random urge to go and buy the film inception!

complications: There are a few complications in the film that may put some people off. For instance different levels in a dream. So dreams Within dreams. My main advice to anyone who is reading this and hasn't seen the film is to do what you would do with any Sci-Fi film or television program. You don't need to work out what every bit of information means; you just need to know the basic outline of what's going on to be able to understand and enjoy the movie. That was what I did, just work out the basics of what's being said and I understood the film just fine.

Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon- Levitt play Cobb's 2 apprentices. They also do a superb job at showing they know their stuff, yet they are still faithful to Cobb who they trust in coming up with the plans for the operation.

The visuals and special effects. These can only be described with words such as "Simply incredible!" The dream worlds look stunning and really fit the profile for what people would describe as their "Dream world" Buildings reaching up into the heavens, staircases move according to where you want to go ( Yes this seems like Harry Potter,but the difference is the staircases move according to your mind, not their own) Other than the dream world the action scenes are Simply breath taking. For instance one fight scene is done literally whilst the 2 characters are floating in mid air and being pulled sideways and upside down. The most unbelievable part of this is knowing that this scene was not computer generated, and was instead done actually by tilting a van sideways and putting the characters on ropes. This was definitely mine and I'm sure many other peoples favorite scene in the movie.

The after effect: As I mentioned earlier this movie continued to impress me even after I had long left the cinema; and here is why. With some films you see them, at the end of them you say to yourself either that was good or that was bad, and then you might just forget about it. However with inception; I continued to think about it's dynamic plot and dramatic ending for a while after I had got home. There were still mysteries to the film left to uncover so not only was I trying to solve them; but I was also simply thinking about the sheer brilliance of the film as a whole.

Conclusion. Personally I think that any film that has you thinking about it's detailed plot, it's thrilling mysteries and how amazing it was even after you are back in the comfort of your own home, is definitely a film that should be credited with the full 5 stars and a 10 out of 10 rating; truly brilliant; a definite, must see!

intro

So this is me, my blogs. First things first. I am not the sort of person who posts blogs about everything they are feeling. I mean lets face it; no-one wants to listen to you moaning about your life. So my blogs could be quite distant apart if nothing interesting to say. Or they could be quite frequent. But who knows: You will just have to wait and see......
