Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Luke and the Professor venture into a mysterious part of London that they never new existed... The future. They are lured there when the receive a letter from "Future Luke" that has instructions on where they are to go to transport to said "Future London". Upon arrival it does indeed seem like they are in the future but the later learn something that will shed a whole new light on things. This game is an amazing finale to the "Present-Day Trilogy". More puzzles and adventure than the previous two games combined, this game is an amazing finale. I highly recommend you get this game whether or not you have played the previous two.

Review of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

The Professor and Luke are back again in this game, investigating a mysterious relic known as the Diabolical Box. It is said to kill anyone who opens it and as usual, the professor is too curious to be kept away. He and Luke venture aboard a train to a town where the box has been rumored to have been seen and are met with a very unusual set of circumstances. This game is an amazing sequel to the original and comes back with even more puzzles than before. The story is more interactive and brings back the same mechanic from the first game that really lives the player amazed by the major plot twists. I love this game and highly recommend it.

Review of Professor Layton and the Curious Village

Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke Triton venture out to a mysterious village to solve the case of one of the professors' friends. This game is full of amazing puzzle and teasers that will really work your mind. The story is also brilliantly thought out and will leave you saying "Oh my god" at the end of it. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzles. An amazing game over all.

Review of Th Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

      The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a very old book and movie that was just flat out nonsense. Though that doesn't mean it isn't funny. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was the start of most adventure Sci- fi movies and books. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a hilarious book that may have you questioning life at the end. It is told through the eyes of Arthur Dent  after just realizing that there is a whole alien civilization in the universe. I love this movie for the endless amount of nonsense comedy. I mean who could think of a missile turning into a whale then going into its mind to see what it was thinking while it was falling. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves Sci- fi Movies. -Megalion Oei

Review of The Wii

      The Wii is a console created by nintendo for the use of entertainment and gaming. I love this console and all the games that are with it. The Wii is for everyone no matter if age or gender its fun for all. The Wii isn't very strong in its hard core games, but what it doesn't lack is its endless amount of fun you can have. I've seen my 4 year old cousin play it and my 60 year old Uncle play it. It gives such an addicting amount of endless fun to the game. I highly recommend this console to anyone who loves games and entertainment. - Megalion Oei

Review of Up

     Up is a disney/ pixar created movie that tells the story of a boyscout and an old man going on an adventure in a house lifted by balloons. In retrospect the movies plotline seems very linear, but it has one of the greatest stories of all. I love this movie and its sound track. This one of my favorite Pixar movies which are all good. Even as a teen this movie is still good no matter the age. I just love how two totally different characters can bond so well in an adventure. I highly recommend this movie to everyone no matter of age. -Megalion Oei

Review of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Mario is back in another 2D adventure. A great sequel to a great game, Mario is back on the Gamecube to save a small city named Rougeport from the "treasure" located under the town.
This game was so refreshing to play after finishing the first one. It was the same game we all know and love with new members, a new story and last but certainly not least, new graphics. I love this game almost as much, if not more than the original. This game is easily reason enough to buy a Gamecube, especially since they are only being sold for $20 at most retail stores that still sell them.

Review of Paper Mario

Mario turns 2D in this classic game for the Nintendo 64. Exploring around the Mushroom Kingdom to save the captive Star Spirits and rescue Princess Peach.
This game was amazing to play for the first time, regardless of it being 11 years after it was first released. It was still an amazing experience after playing through almost every Mario game of the current generation. This game is almost reason enough to go buy a Nintendo 64 if you don't have one already.

Review of Super Mario Galaxy 2

 Mario ventures back into the unexplored depths of outer space to save Peach (surprise, surprise) but this time, he is accompanied by his good friend Yoshi. Together, the take on the universe determined to defeat Bowser and save Peach, themselves and the entirety of the universe.
This game was a very welcome sight, being released a few years after the first one. You are met with familiar controls, welcomed characters and new worlds to explore. This game was amazing, just like the first game. I highly recommend this game to anyone who hasn't played this game and was a fan of the first game and even if you weren't a fan of the first game, you should play it anyway. Might as well.

Review of Super Mario Galaxy

Mario takes to the stars in this amazing game. He must fight through many galactic worlds to save Princess Peach from the infamous Bowser who has located himself at the center of the universe. Finding help along the way from Rosalina, the leader of a spaceship named The Observatory and a bunch of star like creatures named Lumas, Mario is off once again to save Peach and the entire universe.
I love this game. Let me just start off saying that. It is easily one of my favorite games for the Wii, next to it's successor, Super Mario Galaxy 2. I loved the mechanics of being able to fly through space and the creators of the game definitely made the gravity mechanics work in the favor of the game. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it yet.

Review of Forrest Gump

Film poster with an all-white background, and a park bench (facing away from the viewer) near the bottom. A man wearing a white suit is sitting on the right side of the bench and is looking to his left while resting his hands on both sides of him on the bench. A suitcase is sitting on the ground, and the man is wearing tennis shoes. At the top left of the image is the film's tagline and title, and at the bottom is the release date and production credits.     Forrest Gump is a movie that you might not understand when you look at the cover. Forrest Gump is about a man with a very limited I.Q. and seeing the world through his eyes. The funny thing is that he's very persistent and follows every order he gets. Also there is a very touching story behind all  the adventure. I can't tell how many countless hours this movie made me laugh, feel sad, and give me a warm heart. I love this movie and I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good touching story. -Megalion Oei

Review of Super Mario Bros

Super Mario Bros. box.png     The Mario franchise has never stopped and may never stop creating good games. Mario has tons of games and each one very much so different. That red plumber is one of the most notable iconic figures in gaming of all. The original game itself was very questionable itself, I mean you kind of have to be insane to think of walking mushrooms and a spiked shell turtle as the boss. Though it might sound of insane the number of hours I put into this game is uncountable and is one of the best games that will be remembered. I have to give this game a lot of credit for the sheer amount of money and cultural impact it has made. I highly recommend this game to anyone who just loves anything.- Megalion Oei

Review of Star wars

     Star wars is a movie about a whole new futuristic universe where they are split between two different sides. The Republic (Jedi) and the Confederacy (Sith), later on there is a whole plot twist and the universe is split again between the Rebels (Jedi) and the Empire (Sith). The storyline is split between many views of characters and what they might be going through. Star Wars pretty much started the whole Sci- Fi genre stereotype  and is one the best of doing it. The movie still each have its own basic high tech and characters but they find each other in a sticky situation. -Megalion Oei
