Angel Samurai-Z

          Hello again all you people out there, this is my review on Angel Samurai-Z.

                                                      Angel Samurai-Z's Minimap Preview


       So, you've awlways loved that team vs team wars... Well this takes that to a whole knew level. By mixing all sorts of items together, you magicly get better ones! Your goal is simply to kill the other team 200 times, or just kill their god... which is much easier than it sounds.

      Well, since I've decided to stuff this into the barren of my blog, I shall mention my top 3 favorite heros to choose...

                                                                        The CheWald

       Ahh yes, The CheWald... fun times. Well... this hero isn't exactly the greatest in the game, but is still fun to be because he starts off with an insane ability, which allows his attacks to bounce from one foe to the next. Anyways, his basic spell has a quite pointless stun, but can do around... 10k damage at level 9. He also gets a mana shield, a shield made out of magic, which isn't very good in the long-run. Then he has his heal, which is his ultimate spell as it heals all your allies for 10k, 20k, 30k, 40k, and finally 50k health as you level up. Oh, he also gets this insane mana regeneration, more fun for the entire game I guess. Anyways, for this hero you will want life steal items and critical swords to start, ending up with a fearoth helmet and a zulfiqar sword. This is my 2nd favorite hero in the world of Angel Samurai-Z... Now let's move on to my favorite.


                                                                   The Apprentice

    That's right, a guy in a purple dress who carries a stick with a goat skull on the end. I could easily call this guy a satanist, but it doesn't fit him at all. Anyways, this is by far my favorite hero in Angel Samurai-Z as he can actually summon minions to fight for him. His minions are large Infernals, much like the ones in tree tag except not as cool. As if it wasn't enough, the Apprentice also turns you into small animals like frogs and rabbits. He can also fire lightning, which forks in mid air. Then he can also put a curse on you which makes you miss attacks. For this hero I recomend the Frost Fire swords as he benefits them greatly. Now let's talk about the last hero of the day...


                                                                      Hale Magefire

      That's right kids, a guy who doesn't start with 'the'! Ignore the horny way he dies and take a look at what he can do... Well, he can throw a giant flaming bird at you, which is always cool I guess. He also visits the world of Star Wars and gives you a force choke, which is his best spell. Then he can also turn the song 'The Ring of Fire" into reality as he makes a ring of fire... Then he can make a giant volcano which nearly covers 1/4 of the arena. He is quite useful, until around the late game... Yeah... his spells become worse then.... let's skip that.



      Yay, those are my top 3 favorite heros. But, there are obviously greater ones such as Sephiroth, or Nightmare for example. Sadly, Demonic Satan and Gundam-X both suffer to really any well dressed hero. I prefer Fearoth Helmets, Snake Swords, Zulfiqars, Frost Fire Swords, Evil Boots, and an Avatar to go to their parties... I always come out untouched.


       So that's it for Angel Samurai-Z, all in all it's a great game, with some lag... out of the blue, it tends to always crash someone out of the game... that's really the only con.

              Angel Samurai-Z: 4/5

Tree Tag

Greetings viewers, and welcome to StarCuu's Wc3 Map Review Blog. Quite the mouthful, but you'll get used to it. Anyways, this is the first review and I will be reviewing an old classic map, Tree Tag.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       TREE   TAG                                                                 

                                                        The Minimap Preview of Tree Tag


             Okay, so Tree Tag is a 12 player map in which one large team of small, innocent, living trees runs away from giant fire golems. It's all fun and games really, but I am here to talk about each side, and what is good about them.


                                                                              ENTS

       Ents are the living trees of the forest, which are under seige by 1-3 fire giants, depending on the ammount of players. The max number of ents being 9, you can easily outnumber them. But, since Fire has always beaten Trees, they aren't able to attack quite easily. Anyways, the ents have brilliant ways of scouting by putting cute little owls on top of trees! Personally, I mass these cute owls all over my base so I can always see my enemy. Also, the ents have the ability to teleport, turns invisible, and invulnerable. Unfortunately, becoming invisible doesn't help much, as the fire giants, also called infernals, can get a Gem of True Sight, which blows your cover. Also, the ent can eat other non-living trees in order to make a hiding spot in this great forest. But, the ent can also regrow them, so don't worry about getting caught.


     Now, for some odd reason, the ents can build structures out of acorns and "Tree dollars". I do not care much for the details of such odd things though, so lets get down to business. In order to get more Acorns and Tree Dollars, you have to build 'Resource Farms' which give you income every few seconds. These can also be upgraded into larger farms, which give more money.


    Ents are not alone though! They can also build these odd looking buildings, which appear to be similar to a barracks in some way shape or form! From this wonderful place they can build catapults, tree warriors, and water elementals to attack the infernals! Not enough? Well the barracks can upgrade into a larger version of itself, allowing you to train Tanks, Giant Water Elementals, and even a freakin' hippy.

   Sadly, if you join a Tree Tag everyone wants to be Ent... Most people dislike the infernals, which is what I'm talking about next...




                                                                   INFERNALS


   Now that we've passed the tiny trees of the forest, it's time for the Infernals!! Anyways, what else would you expect from a giant golem of fire? He's strong, bulky, and slow. But, there are two kinds of Infernals (I will get more on that later) but for the sake of saving time, let's talk about stuff the infernal can buy!


   There are actually 5 stores the infernal can buy items from. Some helpful things infernals can buy are Gems Of True Sight, Landmines, Skeleton Lumberjacks, Skeleton Archers, Crystal Balls, and many more depending on your strategy. Anyways, as an Infernal you just have to go around with your buddies and kill all the ents. Beware, as ents can bring other ents back to life if they reach the middle fast enough. Now, let's move onto the 2 types of infernals.


                                                                        BLAZE

   There may not be a picture for such a powerful Infernal, being the better out of the two, but he is focused on non-magical abilities, countering all those Ents magic necklace's into oblivion. Anyways, here's a rundown on his spells.


Summon Hawk: Summons a hawk to scout the map for Blaze, this Hawk can see invisible units, and can attack in further levels.

Death Ray: This is a glorious spell which sends a beam of death out in a direction, damaging anything that gets stuck in it's path. This works GREAT for destroying farms.

Hex: Turns the already weak trees into weaker animals such as frogs, rabbits or deer. The target cannot use spells furing this time.

Volcano: Oh yes, the volcano. This is one of the best spells on Blaze's ability list... It destroys everything in the area targeted, even trees.

Avatar: Meh, Useful, but there are better spells. It gives you bonus HP, Armor, Attack, and makes you Spell Immune for a minute or two.

                                                                           PYRA

    Okay, here's Pyra, easily recongized by the skull he has on his blue-ish head. He isn't as great as Blaze when it comes to killing ents, but killing bases is another story. Anyways, he is screwed when it comes to killing ents with Magic Necklaces, but here are his spells.

Summon Hawk: Really just the same as Blaze's, look up if you forgot.

Lightning Trap: Summons an invisible lightning trap which attacks anything that comes too close. Best use near the middle.

Nuclear Explosion: Yes, Pyra gets a nuke. But, if an ent has a Magic Necklace, nothing happens to them... Minus a crap load of building missing.

Transmute: Instantly turns the target into Tree Dollars, killing them, and giving you money.

Starfall: You stand completely still while anything close to you gets a meteor or two to the head. Sounds useful, but isn't.




         So, Tree Tag is a fun game, and I hope everyone who plays it enjoys it very much.

         Tree Tag: 5/5
