The Hobbit Book vs Movie

As most fans know The Hobbit takes place before any of the Lord of the Rings. Whether it be book or movie. The Hobbit starts with Bilbo writing in a journal as an old man about his adventures of the youth. Though the book and the movie show many inconsistencies. Anyone who read the books can tell you this.
Of course to make a book that was little over 200 pages into 3 movies you'll have to add filler content that was not originally in the book.

The inconsistencies include:

• The white orc which was not mentioned in the book
• Bilbo is polite to the visiting Dwarves
• The Over Dramatized fight with the Goblin King
• The Elves did not delay the Dwarves in the book but they do in the movie.
• The Eagles, they talk in the book.
• The Eagles talk to the Dwarves after saving them. 

Of course, there are probably more I overlooked but those are a few. The movie is obviously a very interesting movie but it does have some inconsistencies. Though, they might have reasoning, making the movie more action packed, however, it probably didn't need to be made into 3 parts. It was dragged out more than it needed to be.

Pokemon X and Y Game Review

Pokemon x and y have a lot of new features that none of the past pokemon game have ever had.

• Pokemon Super training - This is training the pokemon's attack, defense, Sp. attack, sp. defense, speed, and HP completely separately from battle type training.
• Pokemon Amie - which is a place to pet, feed, and play games with your pokemon. Not only is it a cute little addition, a pokemon you play with/feed/pet a lot will grow a stronger bond with you as a trainer which has its advantages in battle (Examples: Surviving with 1 HP when they should have died and recovering stat problems quicker)
• You can also connect with your friends easily
• Mega Evolution - Only available for certain pokemon, it changes the pokemon's appearance and makes it more powerful.

All that and not to mention the amazing graphics that I'm sure you Pokemon fans have seen, even if you don't have the game. Also, you get your x and y starter as well as an original starter pokemon. Those of course being Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Spolier: These pokemon have the ability to mega evolve. As for the story line of the game its self. It is pretty interesting with many opportunities to battle and gain levels. The story its self is pretty interesting all though I've never really gotten into it. Your mom is a famous Rhihorn Racer which is pretty cool. Oh! You can also ride different kinds of pokemon in the game, and not just while surfing! Its a fun new game with pokemon from EVERY region in one. Which makes for a lot of good party options, to be honest, its really hard to choose. There are so many amazing combinations.

Pokemon Black and White Game Review

The Pokemon games Black and White. Though when I first saw them I thought to myself, 'Oh, this looks terrible!' I was actually surprised. I gave the game a try anyway, because I love pokemon games. Yes, there are some odd pokemon, that no I do not like but, all the pokemon can't be as amazing as the original ones. What I enjoyed the most about Pokemon Black and White (I played white) is the story line. The story line was actually FAR more interesting than those in most of the pokemon games. The bad guys interact with you on a more personal level and you have the option to agree or disagree with what they are saying. Though you battle them either way it is interesting to see the response and to be able to chose.

The team, Team Plasma, isn't greedy (like team Rocket) or terribly stupid (like team magma and team aqua). What they are saying could actually be the opinion of some at least semi intelligent people. Rather than trying to cover the world in water or in land, which is obviously ridiculously stupid to anyone who has common sense. Team Plasma fights to free pokemon from their human masters, insisting that the pokemon would be better off without trainers. Which actually could be an issue in the pokemon world. That and not all the pokemon are ridiculous like Vanallite. If you really look there are some good ones.

Over all, I think my original opinion of the game was wrong. It wasn't actually all that bad, it was actually quite good, to tell you the truth.

Sims 3 (PC) Game Review

Sims 3, is like many of the Sims games. It focuses on your characters goals, determined by their traits (Which if you make your own character called a sim you can pick). The difference between Sims 3 and the ones in the past is:
-You can choose traits for your sim
-You have a life time goal
-For accomplishing goals you get lifetime happiness point
-You can purchase perks (For your sim) with these points
-PC version has expansion pack with new items, clothes, make-up, and supernatural/pets.
-You can travel around town and to other's houses as you wish
-Enabled aging (Your sim can go from a baby to an elder and die)
-With the aging your sim can also get pregnant and have children of their own.
-There are new social options/types of relationships/ect.
-With game updates and such your sim also has a scrapbook full of memories and a bio

These are all interesting features introduced into the game. Though but with Sims, its a different kind of game, some people love sims and others don't Sims 3 is a Sims game, you don't venture out into the world and fight monsters, there is no set story line. You should know all this, even if its just from hear say alone. The only problems I see with Sims 3 is, they took out the whole 2 player option, it can not be played in two player, not even on console games such as Xbox and PS3. Which takes the fun out of it a bit. Also, the many expansion packs can get a bit costly if you want to keep getting new things. Over all, I am a Sims fan and the game on PC is actually quite entertaining especially with the expansion packs.

Warning there are some problems with the game freezing that have been reported, and I have experienced it as well.

Fable 2 Game Review

Fable 2 an RPG (role playing game), where you can chose your gender, which you can not do in Fable (the first one). Fable 2 has many game aspects that I love and that they should have kept in the transition to Fable 3 instead of changing. The vendors, the health bar, the experience to earn techniques, the bag used to store books and goods. The books of lore and stories alone were a great part of Fable 2 that did not make the cut for Fable 3. That and many of the social moves and the ability to reproduce. In Fable 2 you can have children with your husband/wife where in Fable 3 you can not. I liked being able to have a baby and come back to see it grown into a child. The story line was also absolutely amazing. It starts out quite tragic but is full of both emotion, comedy, and of course action as it is full of fighting.

Fable 2 is my personal favorite of the series. As I mentioned before, Reaver is in this one as well, introduced in it in fact. If you haven't played a Fable game, you may not know Reaver but if you have, you will be sure to remember him. He is unbearable, and hard to forget. He brings darkness and humor into the game. Enough about Reaver. In Fable 2 there are many quests that can be done, even before you beat the game. Side quests, needed to build the reputation of a hero and get you places in the game.

There are however, downsides to Fable 2. The worst being the way the attributes morph your hero's body. It is to the point of ridiculousness. In Fable 2, strength makes you so buff you look like you'll be Hulk smashing your partner. Will gives you glowing markings all over your body, whether you want them or not. Skill makes you tower over every other villager in the game. Granted if you do not level up your abilities they do not do this, however, unless you level them up you will not beat the game. Beating the game with one attribute alone is nearly impossible, I know I couldn't do it. In fact, skills in all of them are needed to complete the game. Basically, you can't be a pretty girl all the way through like in Fable 3.

Monsters University Movie Review

Monster's University, was as I'm sure you've heard about the main characters from Monster's Inc. going to college. It is a cute movie for children and teens alike. There is humor in it that is clearly targeted towards the same audience that watched Monsters Inc as children. The movie seems to run smoothly into the Monster's Inc. story line. Though the movie seems to target the same audience it started with it is still a great movie for children as well. Its something a new audience can enjoy as well as the original one, which is quite rare. As the franchise started the movie is comedy based the whole way through. Minus some dramatic scenes of course. The story revolves mainly around Mike and of course Sully is also a big part of it.

I don't see much of a down side to the movie. It has no major flaw in it and its quite the cute little movie. If you were thinking of watching it in the first place, you will more than likely love it. But remember it is still a children's movie. I don't want to give anything away so watch it and find out!

Fable 3 Game Review

Fable 3 was, an amazing game in my opinion. As far as RPG (Role Play Games) go. It has its elements of comedy as well as suspense. If you have played a Fable game before then you know that you have 3 attributes, Will, Skill, and Strength. Will being magic, Skill being shooting, and Strength being well, strength to hit them with either a sword or a kind of war hammer. In the game, like Fable 2 you have the option to be a male or female, and you get a dog. Though your attributes grow the more you use them, that and having the equivalent of the experience balls helps as well, mostly in upgrading your weapon and learning new social moves. In Fable 3 however, when you heighten your abilities your character doesn't get super buff and turn into a giant. Though you do however get taller with skill, and your tattoos glow with will. They have the same effects as Fable 2 without the whole ridiculous factors. Which I love because I play females and my Female character can actually be strong and beautiful.

In Fable 3 the story line is also very different, however you are the decedent of your character in Fable 2. In fact, if you played Fable 2 on the same xbox they even tell you the gender of your hero parent. In this story line, you are a prince or Princess with a corrupt older brother making the citizen miserable. You are trying to take over and help. Though there is a plot twist. If you haven't played the game I won't ruin it. I will however tell you about Reaver's lovely appearance within the game. If you have played 2, you remember the hero of skill. He's back, leading the way in industry, just as arrogant and unbearable as ever. If not more so. If you haven't played Fable 2, I suggest you play it first. It makes the whole Reaver situation really cool. I myself played 3 first and upon playing 2, and hearing Reaver's voice KNEW it was the same man before I even did the quest for the seal.

Over all, I love the Fable games, they are very well put together RPGs. The only problem I have is the lack of venders and the way you buy items. You buy what is on display and ONLY what is on display when its on display by clicking it. That and choosing a certain path in the game makes buying things actually impossible at that point which very much takes fun out of the game.
