Re: Pokemon Conquest

Pokemon Conquest is very different from your average Pokemon game. It is a lot more like a typical RPG than a typical Pokemon game. The first major difference is the fact that you are a warlord, not a Pokemon trainer. You must conquer other kingdoms and build your kingdom. Second, the Pokemon battles are much different than the ones you are used to. In a typical Pokemon game, your Pokemon stands on one side of the field and the opposing Pokemon on the other. You have the option to attack, switch Pokemon, run, or use items. In Pokemon Conquest, you move your Pokemon around the battlefield to get to the opposing Pokemon, then fight, use warrior skills, items, or battlefield features. Another difference is very interesting. This game has the option to input codes, once you defeat your fifth kingdom, to gain access to special Pokemon. The access to these Pokemon is limited to one in-game month. In a typical Pokemon game, you must battle and capture most of your Pokemon.

I give Pokemon Conquest a 10 out of 10.

Monster High

Monster High is the hilarious first installment of a relatively new series by Lisi Harrison, the author of The Clique series. This series takes some of the classic monsters, such as Dracula and Frankenstein, and gives them children.

Monster High has alternating chapters, moving between the monster children or RAD’s (Regular Attribute Dodgers) and a normal teen girl or ‘normie’. Frankie Stein, the fifteen-day-old granddaughter of Frankenstein, is one of the RAD’s. She must hide her true identity while attending high school, including covering her mint green skin with makeup. Melody Carver is a normal teenage girl, new to town. She had no idea that RAD’s even existed until a series of very amusing events involving her next door neighbor occur.

There are many amusing twists and turns throughout this novel. It will leave you itching to read the next volume in the series.

This book rates a 10 out of 10.

(And She) Doesn't Even Know It

I can't keep no more secrets;
I can't keep tellin' lies.

I gotta let the truth come out.

I can't keep hidin' things,
I can't keep livin' a lie,
I can't hold it in anymore.

I'm in love with a girl,
and she doesn't even know it.
I'm goin' crazy wantin' her,
and she doesn't even know it.

I gotta, gotta, gotta tell her the truth.
I can't keep it a secret any longer.
I can't keep lyin' to everyone,
no even myself.
I'm in love with her,
and she doesn't even know it.

I want her so much,
I'm goin' crazy,
and she doesn't even know it.
I'm lyin' to everyone,
myself included,
and she doesn't even know my name.

I'm in love with this girl,
and she doesn't even know it.
I want to tell her,
because she finally
needs to know it.

Love (a poem)

I love you,
with all of my heart;
with every fiber of my being.

Here are just ten things that I love about you:
I love the way you kiss me,
and the way you smile,
I love it when you make me smile,
even more when you make me laugh;
I love the way you talk to me,
and the way you just listen when I need you to;
I love it when you catch me staring at you,
because it means you were staring too;
I love making you smile,
and knowing that I was the reason;
but mostly,
I just love you.

The list goes on,
but it would take
more stars than there are in the universe,
to list them all.

I love you
more than life itself,
more than I've ever loved anyone.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw

Lollipop Chainsaw is an instant hit in the hack-and-slash category.

Juliet Starling is an 18-year-old high school cheerleader at San Romero High. She also happens to be a chainsaw-wielding zombie hunter. On her birthday, her school was overrun with zombies. Eventually, it is revealed that zombie rock lords have begun taking over. With the help of health-boosting lollipops, a boyfriend with a head and no body, and kick-ass purchasable combos, Juliet must defeat them to save her high school. Overall, Juliet is a very happy, very playable character. This game also boasts purchasable costumes and music, although the soundtrack is pretty kick-ass without the additions. Juliet also has the ability to sparkle hunt, which earns her bonuses for decapitating chains of three or more zombies at the same time.

The one major downfall to this game is that it only takes about five hours to run through the game.

This game deserves a 9 out of 10 overall.
