Pokemon Y

   
Id just like to start by saying i got a 3Ds for Xmas and i love it! The first game i got for it is Pokemon Y and that's what ill be blogging about this evening.

  Pokemon Y i felt brought redemption to the series in outstanding ways.  First off the step up in graphics are out standing, whether it be the battles or scenery there just a nice to look at. im happy they moved of there 8 bit engine. the pokemon in battle move with very nice detail attacking or standing and are not just a sliding one frame spright. but graphics do not make a good game.
  
  Pokemon Y has ways to go beyond the old and time consuming ways you would  raise and evolve your pokemon.  After obtaining your second gym badge a reporter will give you the exp share. the exp share is the best item in the game by far because it give exp to all your pokemon for every battle this makes evolving all of your pokemon and not just your starter. It simply makes catching them all and filling up you pokedex that much easier.(one of the games hardest objectives)
fair is fair i guess there are over 300 pokemon now.

  The best part is the story.  you start in a small town just like any other pokemon game, and the starter pokemon are nothing special. before you leave this town you can by pokeballs which is new . the first pokemon i caught was a pidgy that was my primary pokemon for the first tenth of the game.  after the first town you go through a forest all of you friends in the game appear and scater of doing there own thing. one fallows you and heals your pokemon which is also new.  inside the forest you run into wild pikachus every where, in the older games they were insainly hard to find. im sure alot of the older players felt the same joy i did. from here you travel accross the world obtaining all the gym badges to defeat the elite four and the pokemon champion so you can take his place. i was sad to not see team rocket but they were replace by team flare. there the same thing prety much and the antagonists of the game. id rate pokemon y a 6 out of 10.

          Fallout 3 is a role playing game made by Bethesda. The game takes place in a 1950s style post nuclear apocalypse of Washington DC destroyed by the nuclear war with America and China.  The wasteland is a rough dry hard place, and every day is a fight for survival. A place where a bullet is more important than a meal.  You are only a Vault Dweller chasing after his father in the heart of Americas capital nuclear wasteland, and doing anything to survive to be reunited one day.
           Mankind survived the nuclear apocalypse by building massive underground bomb shelters called Vaults.  When the radiation cleared up some Vault Dwellers decided to crawl out of the Vaults, to rebuild humanity.  But then some vaults, like Vault 101, felt it was safer to stay inside and made it illegal to wonder out into the wastes.
          You start out by being born, but during your birth your mom dies.  Two years go by, and you are a little baby that can barely walk. Your dad tells you about your mom’s favorite Bible verse, Revelation 21:6 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.” As your dad stops reading he walks out of the room. While he is out you escape your playpen, there is a book in bottom of a toy box, and this book called "You Are Special" lets you pick your character's initial primary statistics.
          In games like Fallout 3 you can choose what your character’s talents and abilities.  Whenever you level up the game will give you fifteen skill points to assign to any skill. The skills in the game will help you in combat. Skills make you stealthy, give you the ability to hack computers and pick locks, and they let you become better at bartering in stores and with traders.
          On your tenth birthday, the vault overseer gives you a Pepboy 3000. A Pepboy is a computer that you ware around your forearm, and you use it to keep inventory, check your health and look at a map.   The Pepboy 3000 is the most helpful thing in the game because it’s a way to manage everything on your character.
       When you are sixteen, you take a test called the Goat. The Goat is the standard test inside all the vaults, and the results will tell you what your character skills are. It also will assign fifteen skill points to your top three skills. When you are eighteen you wake up to your best friend Amata telling you to get up, because her dad the overseer is going to kill you.  Amata explains that your dad broke out of the vault, and if you don’t go after him, you will die.
          You can grab anything in the vault; anything you take will help you in the long run, so take as much as you can.  Vault 101 security members will shoot you onsite; you can choose to be stealthy and sneak around them or kill them.  Once you reach the overseers office, you must hack his terminal. When hacked, a secret staircase opens behind his desk. The passage leads the only way out of Vault 101. 
          There will be a switch on you right, and when activated the gigantic blast door screeches open. As you leave the blast door shuts behind you, and you can’t get back in. There is no turning back so you must venture out into the DC wasteland. As you walk outside all you can see is a heavenly bright light. A few seconds go by, and the brightness fades into devastation.
            Blown-up homes and buildings to scavenge and explore, clouds of radiation, terrifying mutated creatures, and treasures long forgotten await you in the DC wasteland.  The changes you make around the wasteland will affect the rebuilding of humanity.  



Fallout 3 is my favorite game because from this point, the game fallout 3 is enormous and you can go anywhere you want freely. Its multiple twisted story lines and the things you can find are amazing and quite frightening. The re play value never dies and if I had to rate this game, I would give it a twenty out of ten. This game is truly a masterpiece, and I highly recommend playing it.
