The game
The game opens up on a man calling to Link (who as in all Zelda games, is the main character) tell him that he needs to get his horse named Epona and help him herd his goats into his barn. Epona happens to be missing so you have to go look for her. She is in a place where there is very pretty waterfall thing. There is a girl there but it does not mention her name until later, you take Epona back and you herd the man's goats and the day ends. You go through a series one of them is you get a wooden sword, slingshot, bottle and fishing rod. Epona gets hurt and the same girl gets angry at you because you were not taking care of Epona. this happens at the waterfall and then completely unexpected she is kidnapped and you are knocked out. You end up turning into a wolf in "The Land of Twilight." Some sort of beast thing kidnaps you and you end up in dungeon and a little two foot thing helps you escape and you learn more from Zelda, the princess of Hyrule. Then you go on an adventure to save all of Hyrule from eternal twilight.
The good
Like Ocarina of Time, there is a wide diversity of weapons and items which some of them are the same as Ocarina of Time there is different name and there is also new armor and weapons. The story line is very well thought up and it is so cool how they are able to use the same characters and still have a unique story line. Zelda games almost have there own genre.
The bad
There is like I said with Ocarina of Time, there is negative element as far as gods and spirits and even though it has good game play there are some lousy graphics.
Conclusion
Over all one of the best games, but if anything should discomfort you you should either stop playing or talk to your parents about how they feel about the game.9/10

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath/X-box
The game
The game opens up on a graveyard were you see a creature call a Bolamight(it looks like a spider with a swollen abdomen) all of the sudden get hit by a rock. It falls to the ground and a Fuzzle (imagine a brown fuzz ball with teeth and will eat anything) goes up to it sniffs it and is about to eat it when another rock hits the Fuzzle and a hand grabs them both and puts the in a bag. Then you see a silhouette of someone put a couple more Fuzzles near a hole and the later it shows a big fat monster thing chasing the “Stranger” that is the main character in the game. It turns out that the monster is “an’ outlaw” and stranger is a bounty hunter who uses live ammo to fight enemies. The live ammo is a very neat thing to the game and the EGM magazine has it among the top 10 coolest ammo for games. Some of them are Boombats (the grenade launcher), Stuntz (the stun gun) and Fuzzles (the “traps that are alive”).
The good
The game is a very well made and there is a story line that even though it is guessable is still funny and exciting. The ammo is one of the most fun thing in the game, about at the halfway point all off your ammo become upgraded and that were it gets fun to kill the bad guys and use them for “ammo chow” which is a thing that you use to capture outlaws and then “Secto’s Military force.”
The bad
It takes a long time to load after you die and on the last level it takes about three hits to kill you but other than that the game is great.
Conclusion
The game is a great, it is colorful and the choice of word is funny at the right moment. It is great for teens and there is not much else. 9/10
