team fortress 2

   Team Fortress 2 is a game that you shoot at the other team.  But this is not a cod ripoff.   In fact as the game said it is a game involving team work. The engineer makes a mini base so that the team that his is on can restock.  He also makes powerful defenses that can destroy almost everyone that tries to destroy it or go past it.  The spy can cloak and destroy all engi buildings and can back stab, instantly killing someone. The heavy has a mini gun that can compare to any mounted gun, other than the engineers sentry gun at the third level.  He is really slow and has a lot of health.  The scout has a scatter gun an can run really fast.  But has the lowest health.  The medic can heal with his medigun and can also over heal giving the person 100 extra hp.  He can give himself another person invincibility for a short amount of time with the heavy.  They can be really powerful and the only way to stop them is to kill the medic.  The best one for the job is a sniper. Although the sniper is considered the worst class, he can help change the battle.  He can use the sydney sleeper so that the enemy he hits with it will have mini crits done to him every shot for 8 seconds.  Everyone in the game can bring down a heavy really fast with it's affect on him.  This game has 9 classes so you never get bored of it.

   This game has funny weapons like the Holy Mackerel and the lollichop (I have the lollichop) and the best thing about this game is that it is free yes 100% free you only need internet and a Okay computer to play it.  Although you can buy weapons for real money it is a small amount like $1 per weapon.  But it is a better deal to buy Mann co. supply crate key as the things you get are strange or if you are lucky an unusual hat that is worth a lot.   Some people will pay you a lot of in game money or real money to have you trade your hat to them.

   So with a lot of maps and classes and different ways to play them this game will not get boring for a long time. So here are the numbers 

replay ability: 10/10
The game is a online first person shooter and has trading so it never ends.

multiplayer: 10/10
This game is all Multiplayer.

total: 9/10
This is a good game and it is free to play go and get it.

Tale of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

This is the Sequel to Tale of Symphonia and I can't do a review about it without telling things about the other game so

spoiler Alert about almost
everything in the first game
   So here is how it started. In Palmacosta the town was in fire and a war between Lloyd under the command of the church of Martel (very strange) and the Vanguard of Sylvarant. They killed many people and during the fight the Vanguard where chasing a girl with a red crystal ball and a boy in lab clothes saves her.  Then, he found his parents almost dead and was told by them to go to his aunt and uncle in a diffident town not to far called Luin. As you may guess Lloyd killed his parents (or did he not) and the town calls Lloyd, Lloyd the great or Lord Lloyd because he helped restored the town and donated the most to restore it and he is the one of the people that saved the worlds from destruction. Well the boy as we found out is Emil Castagnier and he is a wimpy boy. So that is how it started so let me tell you about the game play so it has the Flex Range Element Enchanted Linear Motion Battle System (or FREE LMBS and the game is not free) so it is different than Tos (Tale of Symphonia) one Emil has cool aerial combat because of it at the max you can hit up to 10-13 times in the air if you (if you have the skills) in the at the start he can only hit 3 times per combo. Elements also affect the battle if the battle field has a dark element Emil is stronger and heals slowly and dark magic is also stronger. You can capture monsters and use them in battle.  Some have 3 times more hp than you.  So monsters are good for holding back the things you are fighting.  Then your spell casters can cast spells.  They have very powerful affects an can do a lot of damage.  Judgment, although not a spell but a angelic skill, can send bolts of light and can hit every target.  (I said can it can miss every target also). The most important people are the healers.  Although monsters can heal you and most are as good at it.  So here are the 2 main healers Raine and Marta. Marta will be on your team almost all of the time.  Her healing spells heal one person or thing at a time.  She can deal damage using light spells and is good melee attacks. Raine is only on the team some times.  She can heal all of the party and do it really well.  In the beginning of the game you can have someone cast a water spell and when you do a attack called the Unison attack with Raine you heal all of the party to full health.  With her you can tank the fights that you have when she is in the party (that is why Emil can't use water attacks until the very end of the game.

So lets get to the numbers.


Story: 8/10
The story is good and Kratos is the game's narrator and don't forget the game has 3 different endings. One is sad another is really sad and another one is perfect (and I mean really perfect(and in Japan the really bad ending is super bad )).

game play: 8/10
The game play is different that Tos but the old tactics with Lloyd will be the same (well almost).

characters: 8/10
All of the old characters are in the game (with different voice actors :( ) except Kratos (If you played Tos you know what happened to him) and the new ones are great like the Sadistic girl Alice and her partner (aka voluntarily slave) Decus and of course the main characters Emil and Marta (wait this game story no it can't be...).

Music: 7/10
It is the remixed version of the Tos sound track.

controls: 7/10
The controls are good.

reply ability: 6/10
You can continue a game + and play on the hardest mode.

total: 7/10
It is a good game but not as good as Tos.

The Legend of Zelda

This game is the first of the Legend of Zelda games and one of the hardest.  Unlike most games for the NES this one can save its data so you don't need to speed run to beat the game. I was not born when the game came out.  The only first thought about this game is that my Mom got the white sword and the blue ring before defeating the first boss and got the magic sword at the 3 dungeon. And that I died so many times that I can't count anymore so here is the story.




 So the left handed hero " link " went to save Zelda from " Gannon " with his wooden sword at his hand. 
The gameplay is great and I thing that the legend of Zelda is the best game for the NES.  So lets get to the  numbers. 

controls 9/10
They work perfectly with the game.

gameplay: 8/10
This is the first open world video game (I think) so you can travel the world and find a lot of things .

story: 6/10
I can understand why this did not have a lot of story to it so .

replay ability:8/10
You can do it diffidently almost every time .

graphics: 8/10
The Graphics are good I like 8 bit graphics.

total:7.5:10
This is a good game but I have never played
it when it came out so I never got to play the older 
games and compare it to them so here is a person that 
has played the game before my time.

Older person:
there was no other game like it in its time
