The Ultimate Game Station

Well… what can I say? I’ve got another 30 pages left to read (one and a half stories) and at this point I give Bloody Horowitz a 9.5/10. Anthony Horowitz has truly out done himself with some of these stories. Now, I will say a few of them such as “The Cobra” or “You Have Arrived” aren’t his best but still… it’s a really interesting book. Although I use interesting lightly.

Since there really is no premise with which to go off, I think I’ll tell you the basis of a few of my favorite stories. My 3rd favorite story is called “My Bloody French Exchange”. This story is about a kid who goes to France on a French Exchange in order to enhance his ability to speak French. But, the family he’s staying with has a visiting relative that has a strange behavior… is he a vampire? My 2nd favorite story is called “Bet Your Life”. This story is about a teen who’s on a game show offering $100,000 in diamonds. But, he’s going up against adults… and missing a question is… well… deadly. My all time favorite story (which I’m still in the middle of) is the longest story in the book: “The X Train”. This story is about a family that goes to Manhattan and has trouble finding there way around… what’s with the mysteriously old trains?

Anyway, I once again recommend this book to fellow Horowitz readers as well as to anyone that has read The Complete Horowitz Horror. Be warned though: I find these stories creepy and it takes a lot to freak me out…

Ah, yes, I have read yet another book by my favorite author: Anthony Horowitz. This week, I read some rather disturbing stories from his most recent horror collection: Bloody Horowitz. I’m sure you’re thinking that I am constantly flying through books by Anthony Horowitz. To be honest, I don’t. I do my best to not read books by the same author and instead of getting a post the last time one of these logs were due, I didn’t write one. The reason is simple: I read Anthem by Ayn Rand as well as finished Snakehead. Anyway, I give Bloody Horowitz a 7/10 at best because, quite frankly, most of the stories I read really weren’t all that entertaining.

This book is yet another collection of disturbingly realistic stories by Anthony Horowitz. From a Psychotic GPS system to a killer MP3 Player, you’ll be shocked, disturbed, and quite frankly, afraid to turn off the lights after reading just one of the 14 horrofying tales…

I recommend this book to anyone looking for some horror fiction that’s better than Goosebumps but still not quite as scary as Stephen King. If you’re a fellow reader of The Complete Horowitz Horror and enjoyed that book, then I strongly recommend picking up this book as well.

In case you haven’t heard about it, Gamefly is the ideal place for a hardcore gamer such as myself. Gamefly, is a site where you can rent video games. Similar to Netflix and Blockbuster but, it’s with video games. And, as you probably guessed, there are no return dates and no late fees. You could get… oh, I don’t know, say Skyrim. You play it for about 5 months then declare yourself to have beaten. But, maybe you wanna play it again and start a new profile type. Well, you keep it for a few more months and beat it to your desired level. Then, you simply send it back and get a new one. What I really like, is that you can rent Xbox and Gamecube games! That’s right, I can finally be reunited with my favorite Gamecube games… even if I haven’t played them yet. And, I may be able to play Star Wars: Battle Front II!!! This is especially exciting since I love the game but don’t have a Playstation to use it on. Anyway, that’s Gamefly. More updates one the way! Keep on gamin’.

Merry Christmas! Today is, of course, the most materialistic day of the year. Most people honestly don’t care about the religious side of this holiday… and I don’t intend on spreading religion since people have their own set of beliefs.

Anyway, today was great and I got some great new titles to post about! These posts include: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Mortal Kombat, and SKYRIM!!!

But, since I’ve got over 10 posts on the draft page.. it’ll be a while before I get these new titles up and running… Until then, keep on gaming!

I have yet again read 150 pages out of Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz. At this point, I give it a 9/10 because in my opinion, it’s not as good as Ark Angel but I do like the added mystery.

Here’s the plan: You are going to go to Bangkok disguised as an Afghan refugee. You will meet with the snakehead and get your fake papers/passports. Then, you will fly out to Jakarta, Indonesia, once there, you will sneak onto a cargo ship that will transport you back to Australia. Good luck! Yet, it’s not that easy. Alex faces an unimaginable lifestyle as he travels around as a disgusting nobody from Afghanistan. Will he find Royal Blue? And what does Scorpia have to do with the Snakeheads?

I still recommend this to fellow readers of Alex Rider as well as anyone looking for a good spy series. I truly enjoying reading books by Anthony Horowitz and plan to continue reading books by him.
