Picture
The cover art
Based off of the movie, and with hidden pieces from the book equivalent by J. K. Rowling, this video game is great for both casual fans of both the books and the movie. While the movie fan can endeavor in completing the nicely laid-out story line, which closely resembled the movie, hardcore fans of the book can find hints dropped here and there from the books. Easter eggs in this game range from subtle hints to the ruins of Harry's birthplace, which is a section cut from the movie, and added to the game (by option, you have to examine [A] to see the exchange of words between Harry and Hermione). The game itself is more faithful to the book than the movie, overall, and its beautifully rendered graphics immerse the player into the world of Harry and his friends.


One can explore the woods in which the trio hide at the beginning of the movie, the coffee shop in which the trio was ambushed, Grimmauld place, Godric's Hollow, and more in this amazing game. You must battle everything from dementors and acromantulas, to Death Eaters and Voldemort himself! The game is also compatible with Kinnect for the XBOX360. 


As the back of the video game reads: Out of Hogwarts and on the run. Fight Voldemort's Death Eaters. Battle terrifying magical creatures. Use Kinnect to cast spells in [twenty two] 22 unique single and two-player challenges.

This game does have an update for those with XBOX Live, and it also has challenges which are connected to XBOX Live leaderboards. So if you want to, be the BAMF wizard you've always wanted to be, and kick some leaderboard behind. Then plaster your name on it. Yup.


To the readers: Excuse me if the graphics are horrible, the graphics are much better. I used a camera to take pictures of the screen, as I don't have the software to take screenshots of the game I run on my XBOX360. Seriously, the pics don't do this game justice. At. All.

The highly anticipated sequel to The Force Unleashed, Force Unleashed II hit store and video game shop shelves across the world on both October 26, 2010 and October 29, 2010. The game is developed, as always, by the talented people at LucasArts, and available in the special edition (only those who pre-ordered got this) and general public version, and released for the Xbox360, PlayStation 3, OSi, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS. Already with a booming fan following, both veterans of the Force Unleashed series and newcomers will love this game. However, due to its heavy focus on skills, button smashing, and some luck, it is not recommended for casual gamers! Below, you'll find a score breakup of all the areas graded. Want some tips?

Okay...so...let's try and keep the spoilers to a minimum, eh? Toy Story 3: The Video Game review here, at least, holds true for all systems but the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable and the PC, because I know that the rest are basically the same as the XBOX version. Anyway...It's a wonderful family game, just as a heads-up!

 

RATING: 5.0 stars

The third in a line of severely addictive games in which one can either grow a family and love their little sim-minions or totally annihilate and torture them, The Sims 3 has now reached its second expansion pack. Following their recent Sims 3 Stuff Pack: High End Loft addition and Sims 3 Expansion Pack: World Adventures, the new Sims 3 Expansion Pack: Ambitions is, at least in Dragon's opinion, yet another Sim-Win! Bear in mind to play this you need Sims 3 basegame first, so don't go buy this unless you have the original Sims 3 game.

All I'll say here is this is not for casual Star Wars fans, nor is it for casual or "coffee-break" gamers!!!
