Game Review:Bayonetta(mp2 article 8)


Bayonetta is a 1 player, 3rd person 3D action game.Here is the plot:Back in ancient Europe there were two clans, the Umbra Witches,who controlled the dark, and the Lumen Sages, who controlled the light. These two clans shared the treasures called the right and left eye(they were also known as the eyes of the world) When these two treasures disappeared, the clans clashed and had a war wiping out the sages and witches. Somehow one witch survived, Bayonetta. She wakes up 500 years later and doesn't remember anything except that she is a witch. In the game, you play as Bayonetta, you have a full arsenal of attacks. If you are a fan of guns, you will love this game. She is equipped with tons of guns, even in her shoes! There are also a bunch of weapons like swords,whips ,chains ,etc. Something I really like about the fighting is something called witchtime. If you dodge an attack at the last second, everything else goes in slow motion, except for Bayonetta. This is good because you can cause more damage to your opponent because they are moving in slow motion. In this game, your enemies are evil angels, and you better learn to like them, because you will be killing a lot of them. Sometimes it seems like you are fighting a boss every 5 minutes.Also, the graphics are very good(but not so much on the ps3, the graphics are much smoother on the 360). There are 16 chapters in this game and they are all very fun. This is a very enjoyable game and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Apple's New Product(MP2 7th article)


Lately, news has been busing about the new product by apple. It's either called the Tablet, the islate, or the iguide. It kinda looks like a mac computer screen but without the keyboard(Or just a really big ipod touch). I don't know what the official price is, but i heard it is anywhere from 600-1000$. Some people are saying that it is a horrible idea, but some people are saying that it is going to be the next step in technology. Just listen to this. "The tablet computer is the latest, and perhaps most important step in a line of technology taking us (to the future)," Siegler writes. I actually really like the idea of it. I think it looks cool and it will definitely be very useful. I know nobody needs it, but does anybody need an ipod, an iPhone, or a mac.If it cost a little less, I would definitely try to get it. I have a feeling that it will be the next best thing and a lot of people will like it.

Snowstorm(2nd mp article 6)


Remember that snowstorm we just had? If your a kid, you probably do; but if your an adult, your probably are trying to forget. Personally, I really liked the snow storm, but then again, I got 2 days off of school and got and excuse to stay inside all day. I was surprised that we got all that snow. I know people predicted that we would have a big snowstorm, but snow predictions have been wrong many times. Wilmington,Delaware got 17 inches and Philadelphia got 23 inches which is the most Philadelphia has ever got. The snow at some points went up to my thighs. Something I also really liked about all the snowfall we got is how long it lasted. The snow almost lasted a full week without melting. Even on Christmas plenty snow was on the ground. It was nice having a white Christmas. So overall I really enjoyed the snowfall we got, and hey, if they want to give me another day off of school, I wouldn't mind.
