    Kinect for Xbox 360


    October 2nd was my birthday. So I received birthday money so for one month I was searching for something to buy. I looked at laptops, gaming systems, and Cellphones. I had my mind set on one thing then another I didn't know what to get. So the other day I bought an Xbox 360 with Kinect. There are so many things you can do with it like video chat your friends, voice command to games, your own avatar, and a custom theme only for your user. The stuff that you download will show up on other avatars. There are many demos that you can download like Need for speed shift, Call of duty Black Ops and more.

    The only thing I don't like is that you have to have Xbox live gold in order to use Netflix, Hulu plus, and I heart radio.

    The thing that I do like about it is that there are free demos for like call of duty black ops.

    Buy yours here Walmart Target BestBuy
     Prices
    Walmart ($249.96)
    Target ($299.99)
    Best Buy ($299.99)
    Comes with Kinect, Controller, Kinect adventures, and Console

    Disclaimer: I bought The Xbox 360 with my own money with my own thoughts and opinions.

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations Xbox review (18+)


    MyMy mom just had a baby so we had to stay at a friend’s house for two nights and there dad got Assassin's Creed Revelations from red box. This game is awesome but the only violent in this game is that you can assassinate bad guys and stick a sword through a bad guy’s stomach, and head. So yeah I stated playing it on the Xbox 360 and it is awesome I love the level that i can drive a horse drawn carriage into other horse drawn carriage. this is a fun game the intro is very long it takes about 10 minutes and once it’s done with the 10 min intro there  is another 5 min to and there is no skip button that get annoying because the intro start then a couple minutes later you walk then another into so it get boring after a while. The game play is fun the controls are easy. also one part were you are getting dragged by a rope it doesn't tell you to hold LT and press up it just tells u LT until the rope has almost ripped.

    What I like about the game is that you can drive a horse on a mission " I haven't beat the game I am only at the second level"


    What I don't like about the game is that when you first get the game and start playing it the intro is long I think they could make it shorter and make the longer so you can actually play the game instead of the 15 minute intro.

    Black Xbox 360

    Microsoft has come a long ways  with the Xbox First they were Big and Fat consoles to Skinny and finger censer that can turn on the console and open the disk dower with a tap. so lets get to the Hardware. The whole console is Black and The Controller is black. With the newer console you don't have to have a adapter to connect to Wi-Fi its Built in so you can watch Netflix and Hulu. There is alot of things you can do with the Xbox 360 you can play Football with your friends, beat them in halo or Call of duty. You can race them in Forza Motorsports. Thats not all listen to your favored music, look at your pictures, and use windows media center on your Xbox. You can use kinect on it.

    What i like about it is that i can have my own avatar that customize the way i like it also i like that there is alot of Memory to use for music, pictures, and game memory.


    What i don't like about: is that it does not come with a rechargeable battery so you have to buy battery's alot.

    LG900G Cell Phone

    My Sister just bought herself a new phone (LG900G). She loves it as although she is only allowed to text. For that, this phone is perfect because it has a keypad. More than just texing, she likes video recording herself doing crazy things, listening to music, and play games... all on the new phone!

    It’s not touch screen but it is a smartphone. It is not Wi-Fi compatible so it will cost minuets if you get Net10. The Apps like Facebook cost her minutes. It has caller picture ringtone ID and FM radio (Warning: FM Radio does not work without headphones).

    What I like about the LG900G is that there is a lot of features to use. What I don’t like about it Nothing! (well, maybe that it isn't Wi-Fi compatible or a touch screen.)

    Cool features:
    • Video/ Camera 
    • MP3 player  
    • App compatible  
    • Games 
    • Internet 
    • Personalize ringtones 
    • Memory Card slot/SD card Slot  
    • Headphone Jack
    • Bluetooth compatible   
     Disclaimer:  I had to steal/borrow this phone from my sister to review it; without her permission. The company didn't provide one to me, I had to beg my mother for permission to "borrow" the phone when my sister wasn't looking... I got busted too -that was fun!

    Amazon Kindle Fire Review

    This week I got a kindle Fire!   How did a kid like me get one?...I have been saving my Birthday and Christmas money, working around the house, and looking for stuff I could do to earn extra money for over a month now. 
     
    I love playing with my kindle so does my dad. I just got it Wednesday and I can’t put it down! It is so fun!  I already have a ton of apps. I have Angry Birds, Gamefly, Netflix, Accuweather and Words With Friends

    When you sign-up your Kindle on amazon you are given a Amazon Prime free 1 month membership! Amazon prime is where you can purchase Amazon items at an additional discounted price. For example, with prime, my mom bought her new awesome, new, wireless, Brother printer for $140 with free shipping.  Without prime, it was $199!

    The amazon kindle is android compatible but you cannot download Android apps from the browser... it won’t work. Not sure why.

    You can personalize your Kindle by Getting skins, and covers. If you and another family member both have Kindles, it is worth it to get a skin to be sure who's is who's without having to turn it on. The skin's pricing is around $20.    




    What I like about the kindle Fire is that there is a lot of apps and they have Angry Birds. (I love Angry Birds... who doesn't?)




    What I don’t like about it is that there is not a lot of space to download apps. You can get 80 but I wish you could get more, you always could use more apps!

    Disclaimer:  I bought my Kindle with my own hard-working money!  This review is 100% honest and from my own thoughts.

    Project what's inside your DVD player

    Bored? Thinking of a fun project? Taking something apart is always a lot of fun in my book. Recently, I took apart one of my old DVD player that didn’t work. Inside you will see there are all kinds of chips and boards. I took everything out of the DVD player. 

    Grab yourself a screw driver and get busy!

    (If you have gloves, wear them! I caught finger in the CD drive- OUCH)
