Blizzard World of Warcraft-Wrath of the Lich King

product

Blizzard World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King.
A Review by: Aden Katz, James McMullen and Carter Robberts

Released  November 13, 2008, Price  39.99 It is a cd used on a Mac or a PC.

This is an Action adventure game and is a fantasy. The object of the game is to reach higher levels by defeating monsters and other creatures. Because World of Warcraft is an online game and many people are playing at the same time, the game is more fun and more interesting.  World of Warcraft costs 15 dollars a month. It’s possible that you could get hacked but if you contact Blizzard they will get your stuff  back.

What makes World of Warcraft different is that you don’t have a number of lives and the game never ends. It is a good game and it is easy at the beginning but gets harder as you get further into the game.

Ben 10 Alien Force by Katie McMullen

1. Publisher- D3 Publisher
Date released- October 28, 2008
Price- $39.99
Platform- Nintendo Wii

2. Genre- Action

This game is based on the television show Ben 10. But, it is not part of a series of games.
This game was fun but some of the parts were kind of hard. For example, we did not know how unlock new aliens and at first we had a lot of trouble when it came to jumping but, we eventually got the hang of it.
I would say that children 10 and up would be good ages for this game.
Out of 1-10, 1 being the least and 10 being the greatest, I rate the difficulty level a 7.
This game enabled you to choose different kinds of aliens all with a different power. Arcade games and online games usually don’t  enable this.
I believe that this game was fun to play. My friend and I had a lot  of laughs during this game and would definitely play it again.
I would want to play this game over again. Unlike Halo3, you can continue your game the next time you play.
The graphics of this game were like a cartoon which will make it a   good seller for children.
I liked the sounds of the game and how the aliens would talk. There was no music for this game but I didn’t think there needed to be. I thought the sounds suited the game perfectly.

New from the creator of the  popular “The Sims” and “SimCity” videogames, is “Spore.” It’s great reviews are indicative of its status on Amazon.com as well; the game has rocketed to the #1 spot on the site. But all is not well in the word of mouth world for Spore. Digital Rights Management (DRM) settings on the game, which allow installation of the game only three times, have gamers in an uproar. Their [huge] response: trash the Amazon rating of “Spore.” At last check, 92% of the over 2,000 ratings were a measly one out of five stars.
