Iron Storm Review

Iron Storm

It is a good game. I've taken an interest in alternate history and that's why I bought this. First of all, I noticed the name Dream Catcher appearing when I started the game. I was a bit nervous because I played From Dusk Til Dawn which is also Dream Catcher and it was so horrible I stopped playing. In this game, you play as Lieutenant James Anderson. World War 1 never ended, lasted for 50 years. The character models are ok but they're nothing special. The graphics are excellent. There is also great atmosphere. You see bodies and wrecked tanks on the battlefield, even old fashioned cannons. Now onto the bad things. There are bugs. In some levels you can get shot through the wall by enemies. You can barely aim the rocket launcher at the enemy helicopters(not a bug but pretty annoying). Plus the game is very difficult, large waves of enemies can kill you in a second. I hope there will be other alternate history games but hopefully with less flaws. That's not to say this game is not worth getting but the problems need to be fixed.

Rockwell: A Boy and His Dog Review

Rockwell: A Boy and His Dog

Normal Rockwell is my favorite artist of all time. I've enjoyed looking at his paintings and collecting Rockwell calendar's since I was a kid. I own a couple of other books about Rockwell, but was delighted when I discovered this book, ROCKWELL: A BOY AND HIS DOG. The book is a fictionalized account between Rockwell and a local neighborhood boy, Scotty Ingram, who worked sometimes as a model for Rockwell. Scotty was a real boy and was the model Rockwell used in the Four Seasons: A Boy and His Dog paintings. This short book fictionalizes how the paintings came to be. The artwork by Cliff Miller in this story is most impressive. Miller catches all the little nuances of Rockwell and brings the famed artist to life in a very warm and lively way for young readers. The book has a very short bio about Rockwell on the inside cover and includes a facsimile of the Four Season paintings on the back cover. I love this book and recommend it for any Rockwell fan and any child who is interested in classic American art or Norman Rockwell.
