build anything 

get eaten by monsters

and get eaten by powerful boss's

Terraria is another indi platformer sandbox game, its fun until monsters come out of hiding and eat you.  there is no objective in this game, its alot like playing with legos without the manual.




the bad thing about the game at first its hard to survive  due to lack of armour. so until you craft a sword and armour your not going to be able to do much without getting killed. but once you craft armour the game suddenly becomes fun and not a pain.





after awhile you will unlock boss fights but i gave up and switched over to starbound before i found one.  seeing how starbound is alot better id recommend playing that instead. terraria was the first of its kind on the other hand so with out this game you wouldn't have starbound, for a original game ill rate this 6/10.

Starbound

your trustful space ship

build entire villages 

and explore alien settlements 

StarBound is a new indi game currently in its beta.
made by chuckle fish games - a independant UK game studio.  in many ways it plays alot like minecraft and feels very sandboxy, but its also a 2D platformer game.  when you start the game you will create a character, you can be multiple species of alien life including humans.  i picked the robots called the glitch. every race will have a differant spaceship also like you see below.

the story behind every race is that you run out of fuel for your ship and become stranded. you must teleport to the planet and search for coal to fuel your ship.



once you find fifty fuel you can travel to other planets in the current galaxy you are in.

once you find two hundred fuel you can travel to other galaxies. once you find a galaxy to your liking set the planet to your home and start building a basse-home.




you can build whatever you want but your going to first have to find the resources. chop down trees to find wood and go mining to find ore. with ore you can make tools and tech.  so you can mine faster and build your self better armour.






on planets you have a high chance of stumbling across other alien civilisations. i like to kill them and steal there stuff so i can put the decor in my home. in this game there are over 100 different galaxies and each one is different.  I really like starbound because of how open it is, i would like to see a successful beta and a even better outcome for the game. id rate starbound a 7/10 because it has some bugs but runs smooth and kills time.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Jak And Daxter review 1

Jak and Daxter was the first game i ever got into, and by got into i mean addicted to. i got this game on my 7th birthday and played it till i was nine or ten. it was an outstanding game, its smooth game play witty characters and a amazing story/plot. the scenery of the game is beautiful, one of the most epic things about the scenery is that from the first level you can see the last level and every thing in between; its out standing and no other game has done this still. This is one of my most favorite games i mine as well call it my childhood. Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is the first installment in the Jak and Daxter series, developed by Naughty Dog Inc. and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released in December 2001 for the PlayStation 2 Unlike previous 3D games, The Precursor Legacy was unique in that it delivered a world without loading times - all transitions between areas are seamless. The world is split up into three hubs (excluding the final location) connected by warp gates. These hub areas are unlocked in sequence by obtaining a certain number of Power Cells in each. All of the game's areas have unique atmosphere, enemies, design and gameplay aspects. As Jak and Daxter's journey takes them further inland, the heroes will visit areas including a beach, a jungle, a swamp, a forgotten underwater city, a racecourse built around the ruins of a Precursor Temple, a snow covered mountain, a spider infested cave, and Gol and Maia's ominous citadel, the final stage of the game. - http://jakanddaxter.wikia.com/wiki/Jak_and_Daxter:_The_Precursor_Legacy

      
       To start off you play as Jak a young adventurer, with his best friend Daxter who is changed into a small orange squirrel thing. one day Jak and Daxter was exploring misty island of the cost of sand over village. when they were on mist island the came across a precursor ruin. the precursors were a highly advanced race, they vanished and nobody knows where they went. the green sage tell you that "hes asked the plants but they don't know i asked the plants to ask the rocks but the rocks dont know, even the rocks do not know."  while exploring that precursore ruin they come across a vat of Dark Ego. near that vat Daxter find a precursor artifact, and throughs it a Jak. Jak catches it andit starts glowing red. soon A lurker jumps out and attacks Jak, there are many types of lurkers they are the enimys in the game. Jak throughs the red glowing artifact. it explodes and jak gets pushed into daxter, knocking Daxter into the Vat of Dark Ego. a few secounds later daxter flys out of the vat, it changed him into a small orange mongoose thing. they rush back to the sage in sand over village.

       once you get to the sage he tells you there is nothing he can do to change Daxter back. the sage tells jak that there is a sage to the north Far Far to the north who studies Dark Ego. but nobody has herd from him in years. this is your quest for the game! to get to the north your going to overcome dangerous obstacles and terrifying lurker monsters.
   
      Sandover village. 

this is a Precursor orb

   To get to rock village from sandover village your going to need twenty powercells to boost the heat shield in your zoomer to pass over a canyon filled with lava. to find powercells you need to to jobs for people inside the village or buy them with precursor orbs. you can also find them inside precursor ruins.

This is a Zoomer

the first boss

Jak finding a powercell

From Sandover village there are 3 areas you can search for power cells-

 Forbidden Jungle, Sentinel Beach, Misty Island.

inside the forbidden jungle you find the first boss.

Rock village

Once you get through fire canyon on your zoomer you arrive in rock village.

first thing you find is the blue sages hut, the hut looks like there was a

struggle like something kidnapped him. the hut over looks the village from atop

a cliff. the village is on fire and there is giant boulders on fire that are crushing homes. 

You go and investigate the village and notice that there is a giant monster lurker throwing 

bolder on to the village. the way to get to him is blocked by a 30 ton boulder blocking the 

way up the cliff. the blue sage crated a devise to move the boulder but it requires 45 powercells.

to get more powercells you are going to have to Boggy Swamp, the Precursor basin

 and Lost Precursor City.

the second boss

once you deafeat the secound boss jak gets to fly his zoomer through 

mountain pass. the mountain pass is full of explosives for you to run into.

you also have to beat the three lurkers, so that they dont detonate the pass

and kill jak. once you get to the detonator you have arived inside the volcanic crater.

here you will find the red sages hut and the next set of maps for you to explore.

from the red sages hut you can explore the mountain top and the spider cave. on the mountain top there is a lurker fort.  in the spider cave the lurkers are digging out a ancient precursor robot. once you obtain all the powercells you must go through the lava tunnel to get to the final part of the game gol and myas citadel.

once at gol and myas citadel you need to free all four sages to distroy the forcfild around gol and myas evil doomsday robot.

 

on the left is the blue sage, in the middle is the red sage, on the right  is samos the green sage and on the bottom is the yellow sage. 

  once all sages have been freed they destroy the shield so jak can destroy the robot. but the robot takes off and now guess who has to chase it down. yep the hero jak aka you. 

the final boss fight is with gol and myas robot. once you destroy all of the robots weapons, the game will drop white ego.  and you instant kill them they crash into a container of dark ego. once you meet up with all the sages they thank you for the help. there is also a huge precursor door that takes  powercells to open. once you gather enough powercells

open the door to completely beat the game. i like jak and daxter id give it a 10/10.
