Game Review: World of Warcraft

Alright now its time for my first game review. Lets see oh i know lets start with the game that is owning my life ^^ As you can see by the picture and the title this review the review is about World of Warcraft. This game in its entirety is a great game. With the leveling, questing, grouping with friends, playing with random people, and killing, how could you think of a better game? That's what I said. So how do you play the game, well its simple go buy it from a retail store for about $25 maybe, it might be less at some stores; anyway just go home install the thing, wait 2 hours to download all the patches that have come out and then just play it. Its easy, make a character and start playing, all you do is click on a quest giver, which is characterized by the ! over his/her head, then accept the quest that they give you, then go out into the world and do what the quest says. Sounds easy right? Well it is that easy, that's how they planned it to be. The Blizzard team wants you to have fun and be able to play the game! Now leveling, its difficult, its supposed to be. You can level by doing one of two things, or well you can do both but you can pick if you want to, you can either quest or grind. Now grinding isn't the best method but it works for some people, just get out there and start killing killing killing. The other method which I like is questing. You pick up a quest do it get another quest do it and level! ^^ Now lets say you and a friend both have the game and play on the same server, oh btw there are like 40 different servers to pick from, well you can join a party with them and quest/grind all day! World of Warcraft also has guilds as well as raids, so play it join a guild and raid! Get that good gear that you are looking forward to and look bad ass! Well in the game they curently have it to where you can level to level 70, well thats the expansion in the old World of Warcraft you could only level to level 60. You can get mounts that run fast and some that fly! Overall it is a very fun game to play and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to have some fun with some friends!
Now I know that I am talking about all the good things in the game but lets talk about some of the bad aspects of this game. Now when you look at the game aspect you think that you are going to just pay the $25 for the game and then be able to play. Well thats not the case, you have to buy the game for $25 and then pay a $15 charge every month that you play, so lets think about this if you pay $15 a month every month for a full year you will be paying $180 per year. Now thats kinda bad in my opinion, since I work hard for my money and I want to keep as much as I can! Plus if you buy the Original World of Warcraft you are not allowed to get past level 60...or explore any of the new content that is in the new areas, so what you have to do is go out and buy the expansion for $30. But it doesn't work the other way around. If you go and buy the expansion alone you will not be able to play World of Warcraft since you do not have the original game. Alright so thats all the things that are really bad about the game, you have to pay $180 a year to play and you have to buy the original and the expansion... But besides that its an awesome game!

Well lets see I have edited my Blog so that it is easier to read and pay attention to. ^^ As everyone knows if a site is boring then people wont read/go to it. Umm what else have I done?? Oh right, I went to google.com and added the google addsense. Hoping that it will bring some people here that like to watch anime and play video games. It was more of a way for me to reach out to a bigger audience but still be able to post here and have some fun! Well I think I might start working on my next review or something. I think I might make it a game review since I already have an anime review. All the reviews can be seen by going to the right side of the page and clicking Anime Reviews or Game Reviews. Thats the easiest way to get to view them without having to go through all the many pages that I will have of my reviews! Oh also if you like my reviews please post and tell me, also if you don't like my reviews post and tell me so that I can improve them in that aspect. ^^ Arigato~

Anime Review: Clannad

Well I guess I will start with my favorite anime for the time being. When I first looked at this anime I thought to myself, I guess its going to be just another cutie anime about a boy that meets a girl that falls in love that does this that does that. But in return what I watched was a great little love story that played out through the twenty-three episodes. Its more than most anime's as in most anime's have about 13 per season, so it was something I was interested in since when most anime's end I'm not really wanting them to since I just started to watch them. ^^ But anyways it starts out with a boy name Tomoya Okazaki, he is a lonely boy without a mother and he has a drunk person for a father. He use to play basketball until he messed his shoulder up in a game, now he can not raise it up to shoot a shot. Tomoya meets a girl named Nagisa Furukawa in the school courtyard. Now she is a lonely girl because she was very sick and missed most of her school year and has to repeat the grade. This is what makes her very lonely and she tells Tomoyo that she misses all of her friends since they are graduating. Now over these 23 episodes you get to meet a lot of funny/friendly people, and when I watched it, it seemed to drawl me in and I became part of the family. Now I'm not going to spoil anything for the people who want to go and watch it but it does get very interesting toward the end, and happy things happen just like a good anime should. I think the funniest line in the whole thing would have to be when Akio Furukawa (Nagisa's father) is playing baseball in the park and he yells: "Sanae! Did you see that !!??" Sanae: "Hi" Akio: "Do you love me even more than before now!!??" Sanae: "Hi" (Akio yells to Tomoyo that its his turn to hit the ball and he gets up to bat and hits the ball and goes to the base and Tomoyo yells to Nagisa) Tomoyo: "Nagisa! Did you see that!!??" Nagisa: "Hi" Akio: "Do you love him even more than before now!!??" Nagisa: "Hi" (Everyone is in ah of what she said! And she blushes) It was so funny that I couldn't stand to not laugh! But over all it was I think the greatest anime I have seen in a long time. And I would watch it over and over again.
