Rayman Origins 3DS Review

Are you looking for a great adventure game for all ages to play? Or a game with a great sense of humor and amazing hand drawn animation? Well, look no further than the masterpiece known as Rayman Origins! With over 60 levels, the fun never ends! Up to four people can play at once, or you can take on the game solo. Either way, it is one the best side-scrolling experience the 3ds has to offer!

The game has quite a funny story. Rayman and his little group of friends snore in a rhythmic tune in the beginning of the game, irritating this old creature that lives near, who gets upset with them. Then, you are playing as Rayman, in a beautiful 3d world unlike any other game on the 3ds. This is a must have for any casual or hardcore gamer, or just someone with 10 minutes of downtime who needs something to do. Rayman Origins is spectacular, and possibly the best game out on the market for the 3ds!

The Verdict:

+Beautiful Environments

+Innovative Gameplay

+Fun Multiplayer

+Humorous Characters

10: AMAZING!

Sesame Place: The Count's Halloween Spooktacular

It's Halloween time at Sesame Place in Buck's County, Pennsylvania and you can see that from the second you walk in the entrance of the park. Things like pumpkins carved to be Sesame Street characters and Halloween decorations everywhere make this the best Halloween ever at Sesame Place! All the Sesame Place characters dress up in their Halloween costumes and put on shows as well as take pictures as they walk freely around the park. When I visited the park, I saw both of the two shows that they have, involving most of the characters dressed up in their Halloween costumes. The shows were spectacular and the park looked very nice with all of the Halloween decorations!

The Verdict:

+Halloween Decorations Everywhere

+Two Great Halloween Shows

+Halloween Parade

10: Spooktacular!

Six Flags Great Adventure Halloween 2012

Recently, I had the chance to visit Six Flags: Great Adventure to their park which has been overtaken with zombies and sinister clowns. Yes, this year, I attended Fright Fest. This was the first time I had ever gone to Fright Fest. It was really a great time. When the sun went down, the Awakening started in the back of the park by The Dark Knight rollercoaster. When the night began, they wheeled three hearses through the park and had a funeral. Then when they got to the main stage, the freaks gathered and brought Doctor Fright back to life. Then, they all started dancing to Thriller and the dance party started. I left during the dance party and headed back to Shipwreck Cove, where zombie pirates popped out for a good scare.

Then, I headed back by Frontier Adventures, which has been transformed into Bone Butcher Terrortory, where I was chased by a zombie who wielded a shovel and made sparks on the ground. Then, I saw the show that they had going on in the back, after taking a quick picture with my new undead best friend.

After a couple of terror trails, we headed to Circus Psycho, where clowns take over the whole entire boardwalk area and turn it into a nightmare for those who are scared of clowns. It was really a great time walking through this part of the park. It was a hilarious time with my brother, because the two of us were screaming at the top of our lungs. By the way, he's 21 and I'm 13, and it terrified us!

The Verdict:

+  8 Terrifying Attractions

+Lots of Terror Trails

+ 8 Horrifying Shows

+No More Whistle!

10: Horrifying!

 

SmashBurger Grand Opening in Parsippany, New Jersey

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the brand new SmashBurger in Parsippany, New Jersey. I was able to try out their classic SmashBurger, as my family and friends got to try out the salads, hot dogs, and SmashFries. The food was delicious, and they also serve Haagen Dazs milkshakes! The service was also spectacular! The food came quick and hot, and was delicious! I hadn't had food this good in a long time. Here in my new video, "In the Kitchen With Adam Sullivan", I take you into the SmashBurger kitchen and show you how to make the iconic SmashBurger. Enjoy the video!

The Verdict

+Delicious Food

+Great Service

+Nice Atmosphere

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown Review

NetheRRealm's Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is one of the best gaming experiences you'll probably ever find on your Apple device. Arkham City Lockdown has a combat system very much like Chair Entertainment's Infinity Blade. But let me tell you now, this is much more than just a re-skinned Infinity Blade! First of all, Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is separated by levels and lets you go back and replay battles. Also, this Batman title incorporates a Challenge Mode. There is one Challenge for each area of the game. For example, you will have to defeat 10 Penguin minions in 1:30 or you'll have to beat a series of enemies with reduced health due to poisonous gas in the air.

The game is fun and a great time for true fans of the Batman: Arkham titles that have come in the past. You fight enemies such as the Joker, Two-Face, Solomon Grundy, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, and Robin. This game takes place in between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. You are Batman and you are cleaning up the crime running free in the streets of Gotham. The game shows the birth of Arkham City and Hugo Strange's strong push toward its existence. 

Here is some of my recorded gameplay of Batman: Arkham City Lockdown

(iPod Touch Gameplay)

The Verdict:

Arkham City Lockdown is a fun game with quite a couple flaws such as constant crashes. This is made up for by a solid story and fun gameplay.

+ Top-Notch Graphics

+ Fun Gameplay

+ Immersive Story

- Constant Crashes

8.5: Great!

Wipeout 3 Review for the 3DS

Activision's charming and funny Wipeout 3 acts just like the two games that came before it. With its rich graphics and fun gameplay, Wipeout 3 is a must have for the 3DS! Activision was successful with making another great Wipeout title. The levels don't drag on and this game is great for casual or hardcore gamers alike! Wipeout 3 has an abundance of levels and a load wacky costumes to dress your contestant in. The game adaptation of the show features many fan favorites from the show including the Big Balls and more!

Wipeout 3 is a refreshing game with bright colors and rich textures. Being a big fan of the show also helped my gaming experience. The game's story mode will probably take you about 6 hours to complete, but believe me, the time flies! I didn't finish it yet, but I definitely will in the days to come!

Here is some of my recorded gameplay of Wipeout 3 on the 3DS! 

(3D turned off for recording purposes)

The Verdict

Wipeout 3 is fun, addictive, and great for all ages. The game is spectacular and has a great 3D display.

+ Spectacular 3D

+ Fun Gameplay

+ Good Graphics

- No Online Multiplayer

9.5 : Amazing Game!
