Super Mario Galexy/ Wii

Genre:Third Person Adventure
The game
You open on as always, Mario going to see Princess Peach at her Castle. Like always the seems like its going to be a prefect day; and like always, Bowser comes and kidnapped Peach(She really needs like some sorta teleporter or something so that Mario will not need to protect her). You try to save her but one of Bowser's Magicians blasts you away. Mario wakes up on a planet that is about the size of a two story house, now it is kinda weird but throughout the entire game they are playing with gravity so that you are more often on the walls and roof than not. Mario sees a little bunny with stars on the tips of its ears and the bunny tells you to follow it. It'll tell you some of the controls some of which you already discovered and then you have to play "hide and go seek" with him and two other bunnies. When you find them they take you to Roselina who is the watcher of the "Comet Observatory" Then she gives you a Luma who one of those bunny's we saw earlier turned a little fat star shape who gives you the power to spin. Now spinning is the most important control you do throughout the entire game; you it to launch to other planets with launch stars, spin to kill/stun enemies, lastly you use it after you do a jump to get a little bit higher. The way you get to levels after you get to the Comet Observatory is there are domes and in each dome there are about 4-5 galaxies and in each galaxy there are a number of planets.

The good
The game is very fun and if you like Mario or adventure games this is very cool game. The way that the worlds are set up, there is some confusion in the beginning of the game as far as run around on the planets but the game is good other than that.

The bad
There is not much wrong with the game except the last couple of levels are almost impossible.

Conclusion
This is a great game though I would recommend that you do not try to beat Bowser at the center of the universe until you have collected all of the stars, if you do you will lose interest in the game.8/10

Dynasty Warriors 5/ X-box/PS2

Genre:Third Person Action Strategy
The Game

Dynasty Warriors 5 is a 3rd person game that takes place during the time when ancient China, the current dynasty is the Han dynasty and every one of the people of the land is seeing the Han dynasty come to an end. The land was falling into chaos with three kingdoms rising above the rest. They are Wei, Wu and Shu. You are able to choose from a number of characters and when you complete the story for certain characters you will unlock new characters. The game is played were you are basically a god because of your attacks and your life bar. The game is very simple when it comes to controls and playing styles may very from person to person, some people may play from going from one of objective to an other while some may just kill as many enemies as possible and some people will just head to the enemy commander and kill him and end the game.

The good
The game is one that if you like to play a game that takes almost no brain power to play, this is the game for you. The whole game play is different from usual games. There is a wide diversity of weapons and items which makes the game more fun.

The bad
There is not much to say about it unless your parents are concerned with you killing on average 300-500 computer bots a level.


Conclusion
The game is still my most favorite game and whenever I am done playing another game this is the game I come to play because of how much fun you can have with it.10/10
