Lego Star Wars III: The Saga continues

The Lego game series has been revolutionized with the addition of Tt game's 3rd Star wars edition. The game allows you to move more fluently and realistically as ever before, still with the humor Tt games delivers every time. In the game, the battle of Geonosis just ended and you have your army of clone ready for battle. Darth Sidious has told three of your biggest enemies to destroy the leaders of the republic. Your job is to stop this from happening, by following a story that perhaps makes little sense, if you've never watched the clone wars series on Cartoon Network. You go to planet after planet, not knowing much about your mission except a brief description before you start the level that most people probably skip. If you don't care so much for the story, and you just want to kick back, have a laugh with your friends, and a little Lego to calm your senses, this is the perfect game for you.
With the addition of ground battles and space missions on every planet, Lego and Tt games has really made the Clone Wars more enjoyable. This is a great game for Lego and star wars enthusiasts all around, with a sprinkle of humor to go with it, Lego Star Wars III is really a turning point for Lego games, and Lego. I would give this humorous game of action as star wars always is, a 9.3/10. This is a great game with a few very unusual glitches and problems, making me have to start the level I'm on all over again. Also, the story could at least make sense.

Portal 2: The Puzzle Game Revolution

Valve has done it again. With more playing time and a more intense story, Portal 2 is highly anticipated by gamers all around. In the game, you are placed in an old, and vegetation covered Aperture Laboratories ten years after the first portal. You will be forced to test an extremely experimental portal gun in many mind-bending puzzles for the extremely inventive AI, GLaDOS . These puzzles are very fun as you still have a brilliant story to follow. You can interact with many materials, such as lasers, mirror boxes, propulsion and repulsion gels, sentry bots, etc. You will really need to use your brain in this puzzle game of epic proportions, and you'll need to put those portals to use. 
Once you've finished the normal story you can play the online co-op story as well, which is an entirely different campaign than single the player one. You will need to use the help of your friend a whole lot, meaning he can't just sit back and watch as you masterfully complete the puzzles for him, he needs to help too.
Coming to PS3, XBOX 360, PC, and Mac, I think this sequel to one of the top games of 2007 is a winner, and will be a best-seller for gamers of all ages. With new additions to your arsenal of manipulative devices, and additional hours of gameplay, I give Portal 2 a 9.5/10. Not a ten because that the co-op multiplayer is not split-screen and I would've loved to solve some puzzles with my friends.
