Book Rating

Excellent 4th instalment of the Wheel of Time series. Rand tries to win the respect and following of the battle-savvy Aiel by entering mystical city Rhuidean. The events within this section of the book really are key for the saga as a whole, and Mat is gifted with the tools and knowledge he needs to become the true hero he is. Meanwhile Perrin tries to return to his old life, but things have moved on and he ends up leading an army in battle.
This book probably contains the biggest development in the main characters, all of Rand, Mat, Perrin, Nynaeve and Moiraine learn new things or undergo significant changes that will last throughout the series.

Only control one character in battle

I love that Nintendo have made it so the player is able to completely create the cast of the story. You pick the way they look, their personality and job, which leads to you feeling more attached to the characters than you might normally. I for one was pretty annoyed when the Dark Lord came along and messed with all my hard work!

Unfortunately the battles can start to feel a little stale, but there is an auto-battle function that helps with this. It also sucks a little that you can't control the entire party when in combat.

So much like Battle Royale (0 more)

Not an original concept, but enjoyable watch

To be fair, I had never heard of the Hunger Games series before the film came out. So when I watched it my first reaction was - this is a rip off Battle Royale! Obviously that changed after the other films came out. However, I enjoyed the concept - because I loved BR. And I especially liked Jennifer Lawrence who always plays such fabulously gritty characters such as in The Winter's Bone. It's not a film you can watch repeatedly though because it is rather dark, and there are zero comedy elements in this dystopian fantasy (obviously). That being said, great acting all round.

This is a simple yet genius format for a game. It is a PvP battle were the last one standing claims the Victory Royale. There are different modes available so should be something to suit everyone. You can play solo or buddy up with friends in duos or squads. If you want a battle on a bigger scale there is a 50 v 50 challenge. The game can be quite glitchy at times but bare in mind it is still a Beta version so there are always updates from Epic Games to improve the gameplay.
