Black and White 2

Black and White 2
By The Evil Wolf-girl of DOOM

Why is it that black and white always represent evil and good? Seriously, it’s so overrated. However, the PC game called Black and White 2 is definitely NOT overrated, even if it is rather old... In this game, you play as an upstart god who rules over the Romans. The Roman Empires fell under their old god, and you set out to make this small group mighty once more. In the beginning, you have a choice to make: your creature. These creatures are giant upright- standing animals who will either be a friendly pet or a weapon of mass killing. You are able to choose a Lion, Wolf, Monkey, or a Cow. I, being myself, chose Wolf. The second time I chose Cow. You can teach your creature certain behaviors that either reflect your actions, or contradict them. Even the landscape will change depending on your alignment!
Let me warn you, goodie-goods of the gaming world- it is EXTREMELY hard to be a good alignment. Really, it is. And, plus, you don’t get to throw people into prison pits… er, yeah. In my Wolf game, I taught my creature to be benevolent, and my little wolfie got really big and its previously grey fur turned white. I was so proud! That brings us to the dark side… the evil alignment. As your giant god-hand hovers over the ground, the foliage and ground withers and splits hither revealing the hellish lava flowing below! Rawr! Er, yeah. Sorry. Also, when you choose a cow as your Evil Creature, your cute little pet becomes a huge, temperamental bull with big black horns and ridiculously large hooves. It eats people a lot. It also throws rocks at enemy platoons. How fun is that?
Alright, now to the routine rating explanation. Black and White 2 is rated T for teen, kiddies. There is nothing graphic at all, and there is only a little blood. So, I would recommend anybody from 10+ for this game. No worries!

Okami, revised

Okami
By The Evil Wolf-girl of DOOM

When I say “Okami”, what do you think of? Uhh… Okami does mean wolf in Japanese, but, have you ever heard of the video game? Out for the PS2, this game can be called a revolution. In this fantasy RPG, you play as Amaterasu, the Japanese goddess of the sun. She has been reincarnated as the white wolf Shirunai to save the world, and she travels with a stray artist, a miniature dude with a big ego called Issun. I am gonna have to get used to saving the world at some point... but then again, that’s why we have games like Black and White 2 (reference to a PC game where you can be a god of good… or evil… and progress your own civilization as a god. Yeah, obviously I’ve chosen the darker, bloodier path in that game. Yeah, and my god-pet-thing is an extremely terrifying… drum roll… cow. Yeah, a cow)
The gameplay in Okami is very complex… it involves drawing different symbols such as circles, lines, and filling in broken objects to regenerate them. Or blowing on conveniently yet random tapestries with divine wind so you can cross an empty pit. Better yet, slice evil-doers in half with the multi-purpose cut! And then you can puzzle as to how when you try to cut a ally in half they don’t die! Quite interesting, no? Don’t worry, though, it takes no artistic talent whatsoever. You only need concentration and fingers! And RESOLVE!!!!! Erhem, never mind. This game has an immense replay value; I personally have played about 10- 13 times. Okami is rated T for teen, but only for fantasy violence. No blood or gore (I still puzzle over why it says, “Blood and Gore” on the back. There is none! What the heck?), don’t worry over-protective parents of the world, your kiddies are safe. So, go ahead and try this game, it’s fun kicking evil’s butt.

Final Fantasy XIII: Versus, Twenty years of Backstabbing

One question: When? Why? Who? Never mind, that’s three questions, sorry. Anyway, I am here, descended from the skies of Weirdo Land, to answer your questions-to the best of my ability. Final Fantasy XIII Versus is the new installation of Final Fantasy. The storyline is very vague so far, and only a fragment of the character cast has been revealed. The main character is nicknamed The Prince. The director of the game, Nomura, has told us that he is indeed royalty. Apparently he is a quite stoic character, and shows little to no emotion. The proposed female main character has been dubbed “Skirtgirl” because of her black skirt. It is unknown whether she is with or against the Prince, because there is a scene where the two fight each other. Other than them, there are a few minor characters who are friends to the Prince, and also a white-robed man who contrasts sharply with the Prince’s dark clothing.

The fighting style promises to be quite interesting. The Prince calls out levitating swords from absolutely nowhere! This game is fun, really, really fun, at least it is to me. Also, kiddies, this game is rated T for teen, because, finally, Square Enix decided that you can’t stab a guy with a 5 foot tall sword with no blood whatsoever. So go take a stab at this great new game when it comes out of development. I’m sure it will be extremely difficult, frustrating, and that we will all play it because it is awesome. And WIN!!!


This is the edited version of my article. There appears to be a miscommunication, though... It's not out yet, this is called a teaser, or a preview of the game before it comes out.

Now I am going to copy off Miranda's list of jobs.

• Movies- Shane and Darian
• Video Games- Me, Amy, Miranda
• Fashion- Laniya, you need a partner.
• Music- Nah-jee, but I might help out once in a while. You need still a permanent partner.
• Comics- Amy, Aleks, maybe Miranda and I too.
• Horoscopes- Becca and Kayla

Just a note about the partner- please choose with some discretion. If it is someone you agree with most of the time, or someone you will not focus with, don't pick them. We need different views on things, and I say this mainly about music. Music is divided into different parts- pop, and then some lesser known but perhaps more artistic bands that get no publicity. Sheesh, too bad my dad can't do Music... he is insanely knowledgable about the subject, even with newer bands.

Co-Editor

Final Fantasy XIII Versus
By: Moe

One question: When? Why? Who? Er, no, that’s three questions, sorry. Anyway, I am here, descended from the skies of Weirdo Land, to answer your questions- to the best of my ability. Back to the subject- Final Fantasy XIII Versus, the new installation of Final Fantasyness. The storyline is very vague so far, and only a fragment of the character cast has been revealed. The main character is nicknamed The Prince- the director of the game, Nomura, has told us that he is indeed royalty. Apparently he is a quite stoic character, and shows little to no emotion.

Anyway, the fighting style promises to be quite interesting. The Prince calls out levitating swords from absolutely nowhere! Fun, really, really fun, at least to me. Also, kiddies, this game is rated T for teen, because, finally, Square Enix decided that you can’t stab a guy with a 4 foot, foot wide sword with no blood whatsoever.
