Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
(2004)

Highly Addicting, High Replay Value, VERY GOOD Game!
There's no need to be the world's best videogamer or a big fan of the Harry Potter series to like this game. Highly addictive, quite amusing and some good voice-acting and soundtracks in this game only enhance it further. 3-Character scrolling (You could switch from Harry to Ron to Hermione) was very well done. Overall Rating: 3 - 4 *'s

RATING SCALE:5 *'s = Superb 4*'s = Excellent 3's = Pretty Good 2 *'s So-So 1 * = Bleh!! :( -1 * = Sucked like a bucket of ticks

Graphics: Most of the characters were modeled very closely to their movie counterparts, with a couple of exceptions because the 3-D thing just didn't pan out very well with their "look". The landscaping of the castle and grounds was nice. 3 *'s

Ease of Gameplay: Since I rented it & it was only a 3 day rental, I was hoping that the controls would be fairly easy to pick up. (I am not the best gameplayer and cannot usually beat a game within 3 days.) Surprisingly, I had NO problem whatsoever in playing; very nice, no mad button-mashing skills required. Even a beginner videogamer could get the hang of this. 5 *'s

Plot line & Flow of Gameplay: Loved the book, the movie was quite well done, and so going in with the hopes that the video game was just as well done as the latter, all I can say is that my hopes were not dashed. The gameplay was nice and smooth, flowy and at a relaxed pace. The cut scenes were excellently done. 4*'s

Re-Play Value: If you played it once, you will probably want to play it again. I myself found it highly amusing and addictive (I put off studying for all my exams to play the game for all the days that I had it) and since I have returned the game to the rental outlet, I am going to buy myself a personal copy. Therefore, the re-play value would be pretty high.

Disappointments: The only thing that I felt a little bit miffed about was how the game resolved the conflict. Maybe a little bit more of a real RPG-style should have been granted to some pieces. (IE- Exploring Hogsmeade & the Shrieking Shack since there was practically nothing to do with them.)

What's with Andy?
(2001)

Halirious, Even Adults Will Love It!
"What's With Andy" is an absolutely halirious show about one Andy Larken (voiced by Ian James Corlett) & his best buddy Danny (Bumper Robinson or Daniel Brochu) who are typical teenage boys living in a small town called East Gackle who are easily and almost always bored. The answer to their boredom is ALWAYS to pull a prank on someone they know, favorite people including his sister Jen, or his school & their wannabe-superintendant principal.

All the pranks are so teenage-boyish & "this-would-only-happen-in-a-cartoon-world" but are halirious anyhow, even adults love the show!

The animation is great, very crisp, & the writing is top-notch, really creative and wacko, lots of good dialogue, teens love to quote it after they see it, they keep on laughing.

It's a light-hearted cartoon-comedy show that kids & adults alike will enjoy, & it will leave you feeling good after. Perhaps you'll even be spouting one of Andy's infectious sayings afterwards!! ;)
