DOS & DON'TS

East Berlin’s (note the “E.B.” gang sign) obsession with preppy assholes and old-school hip-hop makes us feel like we’re walking around in a bunch of our favorite old movies.

If a black roller-skating genie who fights crime in his urban neighborhood by use of roller-skate dance-fighting wasn’t a failed sitcom pilot at some point in the 1970s, I would honestly be shocked. Comments/Enlarge | See all

GAMES

Games Reviews - The Kids Issue

Published September, 2006




Scarface
(Vivendi)
Genre: Gangster Film Adaptation
Platform: PS2
Kid-Play-Ability: 7

In this game you play Scarface who is a gangster that wears an orange shirt and white trousers. There is a film about him that my dad has seen but I’m not allowed to watch it. He is very angry and you get to shoot people with a gun. Sometimes there are big explosions and he says swear words but I don’t think you need them for the game to be good. It is quite an exciting game and I like it but I don’t think I would be allowed to play it at a birthday party or something if there were mums and dads there, because the swearing makes some mums and dads angry.




Saints Row
(THQ)
Genre: Gangsta Theft Auto
Platform: Xbox
Kid-Play-Ability: 9

This game reminds me of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which is my favourite ever game. You are a member of a gang called 3rd St Saints and during the game you drive cars and fight with other gangs. The graphics are really good and you don’t have to wait that long for loading times which is good because I hate waiting for computer games to get going. My worst games are those that keep stopping because you have to wait for things to load.

We used to play Resident Evil on the Playstation 1 and I remember being really bored by it because in between the scary bits it took absolutely ages for things to get going. This game is much better than Resident Evil 1.




B-Boy
(SCEEE)
Genre: Dancing In The Streets
Platform: PS2
Kid-Play-Ability: 9

People say that dancing is for girls but not all dancing is just ballet with skirts and people in tights. This game is about break-dancing which is a cool form of dancing that came from New York. It was invented by some rappers a long time ago and you do it on the street or at parks where they have swings and climbing frames. After playing this game I think I would like to try real break-dancing because it looks like a lot of fun. The dancing moves that you do are like karate or judo because they look more like you are fighting than actually dancing like some people dance when they get married or have a Christmas party. That is the kind of dancing I don’t like.
