Reviews (Nintendo Power)

(Something new this time. Instead of talking about articles I will talk about the review scores and main points about them.) First, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia scored 8.0 and main points are that the game has a new battle system, which is summoning "glyphs" instead of using normal weapons. Another game, much less nice, got a 3.0. The game is called Spray and is a terrible puzzle game, and has a bad camera, uncooperative controls, and clunky gameplay mechanics. Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ is a game that is a terrible as it's name. The game is clunky, the touch screen does not always accurately detect what you are trying to do, and it's just plain weird. Shaun the Sheep...hehe he heh. In this "game" you're supposed to find Shaun's other sheep friends, and the whole gameplay composes of only guessing games. Overall, a bad month for DS and Wii games, with only a few good ones such as Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and Ninja Town.

Hey Tanner! Sorry I didn't post these last night! But here it is...

For The Suitors tree map I found 4 epithets:
-"swaggering suitor" (1.124)
-"the press of suitors" (1.156)
-"all who lord in Ithaca" (1.288)
-"other Achaean princes" (1.451)

I found 4 actions:
-Slaughter all of Telemachus' cattle (1.117-118)
-Play dice (1.125)
-Lounge around the palace (1.126)
-Create an uproar (1.157) and (1.420)

The dialog was harder to find, because they don't talk very much... but I still found 4:
-"I pray that Zeus never makes YOU king of Ithaca" (1.443)
-"Well Telemechaus, only the gods could teach you" (1.441)
-"Surely this must lie in the gods' lap, Telemachus" (1.459)
-"But about your guest, dear boy, I have some questions." (1.463-464)

I don't know if these ones are the very best for the words column, but I think they are close enough. Hope you are having a good weekend, see you Monday!
