I chose to review the game Halo 3, published by Microsoft Corporation, 2007. The platform for the game Halo 3 is for X-box 360. The X-box 360 is the only system that you can get Halo 3 for. The genre of the game is first person shooter.

In the story mode of the game, Halo 3’s objective is to stop the evil empire from destroying the Halo rings. Throughout the different levels there is a different challenge that needs to be completed. The challenge for each level leads up to the big challenge on the last level; which is jumping through the halo rings to save them from being destroyed. If you have X-box live you can play online. The point of the online game play is to kill as many people as you can. In the online play the teams are 5 on 5 and in one of the games that is called Social Big Team is 10 on 10.

When I play the game of Halo 3 what really interests me is the story mode and the all around killing, which always interests teens. In the story mode there are many awards that you can get for using different weapons and killing a certain number of people. In the online game play you can get different awards and at the end of each match there is an M.V.P wich is the person that kills the most people and that gets the most number of awards. The thing that interests me the most is the number of players that you can kill with four seconds in-between each other. In Halo 3 there are many things that keep me playing the game: In the online and the story mode you can play with your friends and talk to them over X-box live. In the online play you can play with your friends and you can play against them to. I am always interested in the forge part of the game. In forge you can create your own map and play on it with your friends. If you have a forged map you can host games online for other people, not just your friends.

In my experience of playing the game Halo 3 is that if they make another game after Halo 3 O.D.S.T then there should be a wider range of weapons and vehicle. The weapons and vehicles become really old really fast because there is a vehicle on every map except for 2 or 3 maps. Obviously there are weapons on all the maps but you use them all the time so they can get very boring. I would make more maps for gamers to play on so they keep buying the games to come. In the game the story mode is really quite pointless, the whole point is to save all the halo rings from being destroyed. My suggestion is to make some of the levels a little more interesting and have more types of characters that you need to kill in the story mode.

All in all the game is really good but they need to make some changes for the future games that they are going to make.

Literature

Literature is important because it gives people an opportunity to read great work by famous authors. People read literature and learn about history, and the world. Literature also shows people how words can come together and flow to make a great novel. When people read literature they can picture an image in their minds. People should read literature every once in a while.

Alex Rider

These were some very important quotes in the novel, involving Alex.

The Quote, “You’ve already shown your self to be extraordinarily brave and resourceful.” I find this quote to be important because it describes the main character of the novel perfectly. “Yeah. All right. It doesn’t look like I’ve got very much chose.” I found this important because this is where Alex agrees to help them with the mission. This is where Alex’s life turns upside down.

Alex Rider

My favorite character in the novel was Alex Rider; He was my favorite character because he showed his bravery by joining the dangerous mission. He was not afraid of a challenge and took on more than the commanders expected. Alex seems like he is a person that everyone liked. He has an important job for a 13-year-old kid and he did not let it go to his head.

Alex Rider

The book that I chose to read over the summer was Alex Rider, Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. It is about a boy named Alex, whose parents died and he is living with his uncle Ian. His uncle works for something like the CIA. His Uncle Ian dies on one of his missions and Alex then took over the mission to find the man making the stormbreaker computers. Alex took on many challenges to find the man behind the whole thing. The book was exciting and adventurous. I look forward to reading other books in the Alex Rider series.

Alex Rider

I like many things about the novel, Stormbreaker. The thing that I like about the book is the main character in the novel is a 13 year old boy. I felt that I could relate to him. The novel was fast moving and held my attention throughout the whole book. I also like how Alex was independent and there were no parents in the book. The novel also had a great plot. Adventure books are the ones that I enjoy reading the most.
