Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

So here it is.

Kaos should just give up, with Giants on your side this time you can't lose. But, it is not all that bad. The overall storyline may seem confusing to first timers. But, seeing as though you can use your original Skylanders is forgivable. The downside to that is that it won't count the Skylander until you switch it to that game's ownership. That is a bummer. But there are a few things the game hasn't changed. It still has Kaos' maniac laughter and Flynn is still annoying at times. Chapter 7 is sort-of a rip-off of Alice in Wonderland, but it is forgivable for the Shifting of Worlds added in. As you progress, new modes will become availabe and new unlockables can be found. The Inclusion of Skystones and Arena Battle in the overall storyline make the story more interesting. The game takes about 8 hours to complete. This game gets a GIANT 8.75 out of 10.

This is going to be a good review.

Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

I'll try and get my NSMB2 and B2 reviews done, i've been pretty busy lately. And I'm not going to be getting a Wii U until at least next year, so I won't be able to review any games for it, sorry  hmm

Edit:

New Super Mario Bros. 2 (Nintendo 3DS)
At first it seems like another Mario clone. As a Nintendo fan, I would have to disagree. However,  the 3DS instalment of the ‘New’ series doesn’t really have too much going for it. Comparing it to New Super Mario Bros. U (for Wii U), the level design seems unoriginal,  and the map seemed  basic. The 3D does actually enhance the experience. It gives you a sense of depth, so it seems like a 3D game rather than a 2D side-scroller. This  is something they developed with the Wii U game, with the increased power of the console, having more things going on in the background. The story is as you would expect, Peach gets kidnapped and you have to go through 6 worlds (8 worlds overall, including the ‘special’ worlds, which seemed disappointing compared to Wii’s 8 main worlds), get to Bowser’s Castle and rescue her. Nevertheless, it is still the great Mario game, but not the best in the series.
Score: 8/10, 75%

We really need your review of Nintendo Land PJ9.

Sorry, I had school yesterday and I was brainstorming ideas for my game.

So, here is the review:
Nintendo Land (Noun) an amusement park with 12 attractions, lots of prizes, and no bathroom.

Other than that, the next gen console's Deluxe game us the first game you should play to get the hang of the Game Pad. My first was the Twister Race. So simple yet addicting that you should keep playing.

Donkey Kong's Crash Course was AS HARD AS A ROCK! But, in order to make it to the 9th area, I figured out some new shortcuts. In fact, I ALMOST BEAT AREA 10!

Octopus Dance is my favorite right now. Just copy 10 dance moves on the Game Pad in 5 stages. Gyroscope feature is enabled and so is the camera. I had to laugh seeing my face bobbing to the beat of the music even though it distracted me a little bit.

Finally, Nintendo Network allows you to see what others posted and who's visiting your park from the Miiverse.

So, to sum it all up, my only complaint was: WHERE IS THE BATHROOM!? But, then again, there is too much fun to find it. So, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, this gets a 10 out of 10 A Button Presses.

(Also Scratch Mag Game of the Month)
