Lego Star Wars Trilogy

Posted in Game Reviews at 5:55 pm by earl

With the release of the combined editions heading towards the Wii and PS3, I thought I would review them seperately. Yea.

Lego Star Wars-(8.5/10.00)- This was definitely my favorite of the two. This one has you playing through Episodes 1-3, covering every battle from the battle on Naboo with Darth Maul to the fight with the Wookie resistance on Kashykk, this one covers them all. You have a variety of characters to play as-Jar Jar, Obi-Wan, etc. And each class (Jedi, Gungan, Droid, etc.) have a specific attack pattern. Except for Jar-Jar, he can’t attack. Just jump really high. The only problem I had was it was a little too short, although the two-player co-op was nice.

  

Lego Star Wars II:The Original Trilogy-(7.75/10.00)- This one was also pretty fun. This time you’re playing through Episodes 4-6, and it’s just like the other. A neat feature I liked is that if you has a game save of the other L.S.W. game you could load the characters from there onto this new adventure and play as them. Oh if only I could share the joy of seeing Pre-Evil Anakin fight Darth Vader. Or see Jar-Jar fight Vader. Either is satisfying. This one had more puzzles, which could sometimes be pretty challenging. Both of these games are great for any Star Wars fan.

You do not want to have to take these pictures this close.  

Cool Tech-June 4

This will be a new series I’m starting showing all of the coolest Tech that’s hitting stores soon or has already hit. This is a new category I’m starting, and I’m excited.

Palm Foleo-This super-lite laptop hit stores on May 30th, 2007, and at a lite 2.4 pounds, it’s bringing new meaning to the word “portable computers”.  It’s compatible with your smartphone, and it has Wi-Fi, which is a very nice and handy feature. The battery life although, is weak and the price of $500 is a tad steep. But hey, it’s only 2.4 pounds! That’s worth $500? Isn’t it? 

IPhone-Apple’s new IPhone will be hitting shelves soon, but at $600, is it worth it? This handy little phone will come in the 4 GB version and an 8 GB Version. It will boast a digital player, bluetooth, and a built-in camera. The phone of course looks awesome, and the multi-point touchscreen is awesome as well. This mega-phone will also come with an internet browser, which is sure to make Apple fans shake. This phone will be sure to shoot to the stars like the Ipod when it comes out late this month.
