What you thought: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a great game that is as good if not better than it's predecessors.
After escaping the warehouse you were hiding in during Assassin’s Creed 2 you make your way to Monteriggioni where you get into the animus (a machine that relives memories of ancestors through DNA) and go back to renaissance Italy, Playing as Ezio Auditore Da Firenze just after the final moments of AC2. You have to get out of the Vatican and back to Monteriggioni with Mario, your uncle and master of the order of the Assassin's.After ‘spoiler’ you head to Rome to avenge ‘spoiler’.
Familiar faces return with Leonardo Da Vinci, Mario and Catirina Sforza. Optional missions are varied from races against thieves to assassinations to destroying Borgia towers to blowing up Da Vincis creations. 4 factions dominate the game the assassins the mercenaries, the courtesans and the thieves each faction has special missions and buildings can be constructed around the city. Because of the scale of Rome you are now allowed to ride horses in the city making easier and faster to get from point A to point B.
A new addition to Brotherhood is the ability to form a group of assassins that can fight targets in hand to hand combat or fire an arrow storm on a target. You can also use them as a distraction to slip past guards but can result in the death of the assassin. They also can be sent on missions to gain XP. leveling an assassin gives you the option of improving their weapons or armor. the other factions can also help but are largely not used due to their cost and assassins are just so much cooler. Your brotherhood will grow with each Borgia tower you destroy.
An in-game economy is now added to the mix and gives you the opportunity to purchase properties around Rome. These properties earn you money over time and are a good investment at the start of the game.
A training program inside the animus is available giving you the opportunity to earn gold, silver and bronze medals in a variety of categories.You can fight waves of soldiers or just free run. Two achievements are in the training program. Training for new skills help a lot when in game you are surrounded and have to make a descision whether to fight or run away like a little girl.
You can also go outside the animus and snoop around modern day Monteriggioni and collectables range from the medici cape to Maria’s feather chest.
New to AC is the ability to sheath heavy weapons and is great for people that in AC2 to used the axes that were dropped by the brutes. A crossbow has been added to your large list of weapons giving great long ranged firepower. Parachutes are also new giving the player the ability to break their fall if they fall off a very tall building.
Multiplayer is a first for the franchise giving you the chance to show off your skills to the world. Giving you the opportunity to play with up to 12 players on a variety of maps including Rome, Florence and Mont-St-Michel. Characters also vary from the stealthy to all out fat guy with a hammer. Weapons are different for all characters from axes to hidden blade to syringes filled with poison. Game types are plentiful from free-for-all to team based games which makes for new action every time you play. Points are awarded for stealthy kills while running after a target awards less. Perks and inventory are also added to the mix giving variety. Some help with attack and others help with escapes. The multiplayer takes an eternity to find a game taking away from the amazing experience of multiplayer.
Brotherhood relies heavily on its story line and is a hard game to take up and enjoy without playing the first 2 but taking the new features, new weapons and the all new multiplayer it is a must buy.

Games - Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight
Game platform: PC
Game genre: Strategy
Rating (Aust): M - Mature
Rate the game: 3
When I first saw the trailers of C and C 4 it looked like a winner and I immediately pre-ordered one, but the reality is very different. The first trailers looked very promising, showing new units, new gameplay and a brand new construction and deployment system, these changes were a surprise at first glance but intruging, but when you look deeper it really is quite shallow. I will list my negatives below
The crawler system pretty much virtually destroyed the old fashioned MCV system used in almost all earlier C and C games apart from Generals (but unlike C and C 4 the system Generals used was very balanced, even preferable.
a) In older games you could tell if a tank of this faction was better than a tank of this faction, but here MBTs and APCs of different factions have identical costs, which makes you question if the factions units have any distinct advantages against their counterparts.
b) The resource gathering system has been completely destroyed.
In lots of strategy games there usually is some king of currency. e.g. Minerals and Gas in Starcraft, Mass and Energy in Supreme Commander, Requisistion in Warhammer 40 000, Credits in almost every other C and C game. In this you are issued with Command Points (CP) which acts as your population cap and money together. But you don't need to capture or obtain ANYTHING to increase it. You essentially can get units for free, and as long as you keep losing units you can get a few more. Don't worry about losing 4 Mastodons which cost 12 CP apiece, just wait a few minutes and you will have another 4 Mastodons. In other games without income your enemy can't build anything, so you go for their supply operations (I call this 'bleeding them dry', but in C and C 4 you can't lose blood.
P.S. Lose your crawler (all in one base), just get another one! That is really irritating to see waste all your hard work to destroy a crawler just to see fall out of the sky, or burrow out of the ground.
This new system is very poor, in this you can get new units depending on the amount of games you have played, on multiplayer do not be surprised to verse players with level 20 Mastodons and Kodiaks while you have Hunters and Orcas (level 1). This mechanism is really on balanced and appears to be intended for multiplayer because in campaign mode you can often get top-tier units which are just lying around.
a) Too short.
The campaign for GDI was a pitiful 9 missions (including 3 tutorials). This did not give you much time to play with your new toys and made it really out of its depth.
b) Who you are working with.
Yes, we don't always get to be the good guys but that doesn't seem a very good excuse to be working with GDI extremists (in the GDI campaign), whose leader is a colonel hell-bent on killing Kane, to the point she kills your 'wife' and GDI comrades.
c) Shallow cutscenes and characters
Command and Conquer cutscenes were never completely in-depth (except Generals, those cutscenes were cool!), but Tiberian Twilight takes this to a level lower than ever before. Why do they add in EVERY sequel a new cast of characters! Apart from Kane. The actors and actresses are only READING there lines, not actually impersonating their aliases, apart from Kane, but hes got his own problems. Kane has always been a bit 'nutty', but inthis installment hes even nuttier than before, always talking about his 'ascension'.
a) The damage weapons do in this has been horribly tampered with, it takes like 50 shots with a laser cannon to destroy a light vehicle. In other strategy games a weapon that can destroy heavy targets would be able to destroy lighter ones, except if its approached by many of them then its at a disadvantage. In this a weapon thats 'good' against heavy will basically do little more than a scratch against light. This should be way more realistic.
b) In pre- game trailers I saw a 'unit profile' of a Sandstorm, which is a rocket volley launcher. In the trailer it showed it firing a salvoe of some 16 missiles, although it has a significant reload time. In the game the Sandstorm fires just 4 missiles when it looks like it can fire 5 times that. Also the massive missile turrets GDI defense have looks like they can fire like 32 - 64 missiles, yep, it can only fire a measly 4, when missile turrets that look like they can fire 8 can actually only fire a puny 2 missiles.
I hope that this significantly long review provides a good insight into Command and Conquer 4, if you have $80 I advise you buy Starcraft II, comparing it to C and C 4 is like comparing laser surgical equipment to a hammer and chisel.

Books - The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
I think this book was pretty amazing. I mean, yes, it did get annoying when I didnt know whether what the book was talking about was past or present- but then I re-read it and it made a bit more sense.
The story is about a girl named Isabella (a.k.a: Belly) and how she spends her summer in a holiday house with some friends every year. So her mums friend owns this holiday house, and she has 2 sons. Jeremiah and Conrad. Jeremiah is a complete jester- always laughing, joking, goofing around. Conrad on the other hand- he's the more silent type.
So, Belly's had a crush on Conrad like, forever, but none of the boys notice her. That is, until this summer. :)
I'm not gonna say any more. You have to read the book to know what I'm talking about. As a bookworm, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Happy reading! :D

Books - My life and other catastrophes by Rowena Mohr
This book is extremly funny and light- hearted. It is well written and the use of diary entries instead of chapters adds extra fun to reading this book. The use of adjectives is brilliant and the perspective of this teenage girl is absolutly perfect. Great book!

Books - Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
I started off as a twilight hater. Every time someone mentioned Twilight I brought my steel tipped stakes out [Buffy style]. Once I actually took the time to read the books, I quite liked them. Yeah the books are not particularly well written and yeah Bella appears to have lost her brain at times. Yet their romance still has a certain appeal to it. Bella comes across as a more understandable character than in the movies, probably because it’s written from her point of view. Edward Cullen isn’t nearly as annoying as in the movies and hey what do you know, he has a sense of humor! Well sort of a sense of humor… Actually I don’t know why I like it maybe it’s a generational thing [I’m a generation Z not Y]

Books - Out of the Frying Pan by Andrew and Ben Whitehouse
Put your hand up if you have ever felt like you are jumping from the frying pan only to realise you have landed feet first into the fire? I think most of us have been there at some stage as we have grown up and this book puts it down on paper oh so well!
Out of the Frying Pan is a collection of 15 Australian stories that recount the trials and tribulations of growing up. Covering the hilarious, heartbreaking and the tragic, these stories are from real people who reveal that no-one escapes their childhood and adolescence unscathed!
Great read....especially for someone finishing up at high school wondering what now!
You can buy it from bookstores

Books - Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody
Rate the book: 20!!!!!!!
Obernewtyn is by far the most gripping book I have read. Isobelle Carmody is a fantastic author, and she really makes you believe in the characters. By the end of the book, I felt as though I had been best friends with the characters all of my life. Obernewtyn is written in such a way that you can imagine yourself there, and you feel the emotions of the characters as if they were your own, and see yourself wherever the characters go. The semi-dark setting of the book adds interest and leaves a longstanding impression on you, more so than a lighter one could.
The main character, Elspeth Gordie, is an orphan of Seditioners, people that oppose the iron rule of the council that controls the land untainted nby the "blacklands". The blacklands are a result of what is referred to as the "Great White", a holocaust that destroyed most of the Earth, making it uninhabitable for anything. Elspeth discovers that she has telepathic powers with the help of a cat named Maruman. If these powers are discovered, she could be sent to work on the councilfarms to treat a deadly poisonous substance called whitestick, burned at stake by the dogmatic and fanatical Herders (religious preist that worship their god, whom they call Lud), or sent to the dreaded Obernewtyn, from whence none return. When a guardian from Obernewtyn is sent to Elspeth's orphanage, she is taken to Obernewtyn and has to say farewell to everybody and everything she has ever known. I would highly recommend this book and its sequels The Farseekers, Ashling, The Keeping Place, The Stone Key, The Sending and The Red Queen to any lover of fantasy.

The Genius that is EVONY. A couple weeks ago i was looking to download a movie from ..... when a very clever looking advertisement caught my eye. I curiously clicked it and up came the Evony website. The first thing you will notice is beautiful maiden and an intense looking knight ready for action and a subtitle that reads "FREE TO PLAY FOREVER". I was sold. I knew i was in for a treat, but when i actually started playing i became even more delighted. I was instantly hooked. You are overseer of a town that you need to build. And you need to do it hastily as other will be competing against you. As a leader you need to make sure your town is prosperous by building the right amount of resource facilites. You need to build enough housing to accomidate a rising population. You need to build an army to protect all you progress from your fellow online gamers.
It is a very relaxing and rewarding game. And you can play it without anyone noticing. I personaly have it rinning at work the entire day. Every once and a while i will go to the game and build something new or learn new techniques at the academy and because it can take multiple hours to learn and build I can just go back to my regular routine knowing that my citizens are doing what i told them to. It is very empowering. At this stage in the game i am currently building my army getting ready to plunder from other towns and possible destroy a few. You can make alliances, betray alliances, or go it alone. And this is only the beginning. Evony is in its early stages. There is so much more to come.
But don't waste your time listening to me ramble on about this fantastic game because i could go on forever about all the detailed features of the game. Just type www.evony.com in your address bar and have fun. Did i mention it's FREE

Gold is back! Yes I play this game now and I think it's amazing. Let's just say if you love runescape, don't play this because you will never go back to rs!
