On the 17th of November next month, gamefreak is said to release their new edition to the 3DS franchise, Pokémon UltraSun and UltraMoon! Due to this news, I have decided to buy a new 3DS, finally noticing that my old DS Lite from 2008 does not play the new 3DS titles. I am pretty sure everyone knows or at least has heard about Pokémon before, whether they are still interested in the game or have been in their childhood. Pokémon are creatures that players can catch, train and use for battles. I still remember playing the old Pokémon games including: Pokémon Gold and Silver, Pokémon Leafgreen, Pokémon Emerald, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. I have yet to play the newer versions of the game which are: Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Black and White, Pokémon X and Y. Now I have finished Pokémon Moon, I can say that gamefreak has gone a long way of changing the 2D sprites and basic animations of gold and silver, to 3D sprites that are animated and react differently to distinctive attacks. The Pokémon franchise has always had the same storyline-a young trainer that seeks to become the champion of the Pokémon region chooses their starter Pokémon and as their journey unfolds; they get confronted by an evil organisation that seeks to achieve salvation from Pokémon. I thought the use of a basic and plain storyline that is used for decades would come as boring, but the nostalgia felt whilst playing the game kept me interested in the plotline and small additional cut scenes in the game made me feel as if I was watching a movie rather than a game. I have noticed when I finished this that Pokémon Sun and Moon take significantly longer to complete, as my 18 hour playtime in Diamond and Pearl does not come close to the 25 hour playtime on Sun and Moon. However, once you have finished the main game I have realised that also compared to last games, the postgame is very bland and uneventful. It leaves nothing much to be done, and although the main storyline gameplay was splendid, the postgame left a negative impression after completing the game.

Another similar game to Undertale

Author: Samuel Jin After I have played Undertale, I have been very interested in games that adapt to the player's decisions. These kinds of games make it so every player experiences a different storyline depending on their choices throughout the game. Another similar game to Undertale, that changes its storyline continuously is 'Life is Strange.' This game is cut into 5 episodes that the player can play. When I finished all 5 episodes, rather than just a game-Life is Strange was an experience that changes the perspective of how you view life around you. The game is about a character named Max that goes to an art school. Max realises that there have been suspicious events around the school and one of the most unusual events is the awakening of her ability to rewind time. With the new power she has achieved, she thought that she was a hero that can save her friends from these unusual events. But as the players go throughout the story, they realise that Max is also a v

Let's play some sports!!--Need for Speed

Author: Zefeng Zheng Need for Speed is the second sport game I want to introduce, or we can call it as a street racing game. The game is created by Electronic Arts and currently developed by Ghose Games. Need for Speed is one of the most successful video game franchises at all time, selling 150 million copies of games. In the game, the players control a race car in a variety races, the goal being to win the race. In the career mode, the player needs to win the race in order to unlock the new vehicles. The more races you win, the more luxury vehicles you will unlock and they will bring you a totally different feeling when you hear the growl from the engine. What's interest in this game is that you can both play as a racer and police. Street racing of course is an illegal match, so the police will launch their special vehicle to chase them. To chase or to be chased is your choice, but remember to finish the task in the limited time.
