Ah, the holidays are coming. That means joy, happiness, and most importantly presents. But what presents should you buy your kids for Christmas? Well, in the next few weeks I’ll be talking about the newest, coolest and awesomest toys to buy for your kids during the holidays!
Last week, I talked about sandbox games Fallout3 and Fallout New Vegas, today I had my friend write a review of about the Assassin’s Creed series, an awesome, extraorinary trilogy of epic proportion, stunts, street fighting, adventure, and awesomeness.
Assassins Creed is a historical game that takes place in actual events and historical things in the past, like Jerusalem, in the year 1191 AD. You play a character who is captured by scientists and put in a machine called an Animus which supposedly allows your character to live his ancestor’s lives back in time. Your character needs to go in the Animus because there is a mystery of what happened to his ancestors long ago. Climbing great high mountains, big buildings and challenging platforms, Assassin’s Creed is a wonderful game in my opinion. If you like the Lora Croft series you’ll love Assassins Creed. With awesome weapons, furious blades, fantastic battle moves and attacks Assassin’s Creed is an amazing fighting game. It’s rated M for Mature. Assassin’s Creed is for many conolses including XBox 360 and PC .The characters are all very strong, realistic and experienced, making a great story line for the game. This isn’t the only game of the Assassin’s Creed series, though.
In 2009, Ubisoft came out with the thrilling seuquel to Assassin’s Creed, Assassin’s Creed Two. Assassin’s Creed Two takes place in the late fifteenth century in Italy, using the new Animus 2.0. The game has even more history, allowing the player to meet Leonardo Da Vinci, using his weapons and machines. You can also do more things like swim and use the eagle view feature. Both Assassin’s Creed One and Two have gotten spectacular reviews and ratings, both are great in my opinion.
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, the third of the series, is the newest addition to the Assassin’s Creed series. Not having played this one, I know almost nothing about it, but like the other Assassin’s Creed games, it has gained may awesome Reviews.

As the holidays near, parents, relatives and friends go out to buy their kids presents and gifts for Christmas. Sometimes, though, kids aren’t very clear of telling people what they want for Christmas, resulting in parents buying presents the kids have never even heard of. But, in the next few weeks, I’m going to be telling you guys about all the coolest toys, clothes, video games and gadgets that kids want for Christmas ( Because…. well, I am one. ).
There are tons of different kinds of video games, mission, war, action, first-person shooters, simulation, role-playing, but sandbox games are by far my favorite types of games. In most games, you have to play them a certain way, complete certain missions, go to certain places, but in sandbox games, you can do basically whatever you want. You can disobey orders, obey them, be evil, be good, join whichever team you want, roam freely, do whichever missions you want, just play freely. Fallout3 happens to be one of these games.
Fallout3 takes place in the year 2277 in Washington D.C. after the world has been ravaged in a war between China and the USA where showers of nukes fell onto the land killing people in the millions, destroying architectural sites and spreading radiation everywhere, creating mutants and diseased people. You play as a character in the fallout shelter, Vault 101 for the beginning years of your life, until one day, when you are a teenager finishing school, you are forced to leave when your father escapes the vault and vault security thinks you were involved with the escape and threatens to kill you. You have little to no choice but to follow your father and escape the vault. You are then exposed to the dying world of the Capital Wasteland, thus, beginning the game.
Like other video games, Fallout3 has gotten many reviews, some good, some bad, but mostly good. With a rating of 9.0 out of ten by GameSpot, and a 9.6 out of ten from IGN, Fallout3 must be a pretty good game, except for a few other factors. With great animations and graphics for the background environment and monsters of the game, the faces and humans have not so good graphics and animations. They glitch, move in weird directions and twitch every now and then, plus the mouth movements don’t sync up with the sound. Also, there are a lot of glitches, like flying bodies, floating objects and invisible walls.
Fallout3 is available for multiple gaming consoles, like PS3 and PC, but I could only find the XBOX selling link.
Two years after coming out with Fallout3, Bethseda made another masterpiece; Fallout New Vegas. Fallout New Vegas takes place in Las Vegas ( obviously ) in the year 2281 after the same war in Fallout3 between USA and China. Your character is a delivery boy who has to deliver a package to New Vegas from Primm. On his way, he is then shot in the head, left to die. He is then rescued by Doctor Mitchell who nurses him back to health.
Fallout New Vegas is a relatively new game, plus I have never played it, so there is not much else I have to say about it. It has gotten many good reviews and it is a game that I am hoping to get for Christmas.

Excite Bots is a fun racing game where you can select bots that are based off of certain animals, insects, and other creatures. There are a couple of cups: school cup, a training cup getting you ready for the other ones, bronze, silver, gold, and I also heard there are other cups like platinum and diamond! You can earn stars doing tricks, which you can use to buy upgrades, colors, and even new bots! You can play with people world wide by using your wi-fi connection, you can bet your stars on if you win too! There’s even a poker mode of the game which I haven’t played so I can’t tell you guys about it. Unfortunately this game is too new and I can’t find the buying script for it. Well, once it gets a little bit older I’ll find something for it.
