Video Game Pin #5: 5. Choose a game you might like to purchase. Compare the price for this game at three stores. Decide which has the best deal.


I looked at GameStop, Toys R Us and Target for the new Harry Potter Lego video game. At Gamestop it cost $29.99, and if you win the game they'll buy it back from you. At Toys R Us it costs $29.99 also. You can get an extended warranty on your games, but that costs extra money. Toys R Us will only let me return it if it is not opened. At Target, it is also $29.99 and you can pre-order it. But like Toys R Us, they won't let you return it if there's a problem once it's opened. You can exchange it for another copy of the same game though. But only GameStop will buy it back from you once you're done with it.


Video Games Pin #1: 1. With your parents, create a plan to buy a video game that is right for your age group.

I saw the commercial for the new Harry Potter Lego game that is coming out very soon. My mom and I looked it up and it comes out on June 29th. So, our plan to buy this game is that:

1) We will go to GameStop and pre-order the game, so that will hold it for us.

2) I will pay for half of the cost of the game with money from my savings.

3) I will pay for the other half of the cost by scooping the kitty litter for one week.

4) Then, when the game comes out, I know that they will hold a copy for me because we pre-ordered it.

I know that Harry Potter Lego is a good game for my age group because it's rated E 10+.

Video Games Pin #2: List at least five tips that would help someone who was learning how to play your favorite video game.


My favorite game to play right now is called Naruto Clash of the Ninja Revolution . It's about trying to unlock all of the characters and kicking your opponants butt. But it's mostly all about the specials, the jutsu and having good battle strategy. Here is some good advice for new players:

1. Here's my special combo for Kisame: Triple A, and then go for the atomic shark bomb jutsu.

2. Here's one for Naruto: If your life is lower and you have your chakra all the way up to the third flame, you can use the nine-tailed fox. It makes your character really, really powerful and basically can kick anyones butt, even Itachi's.

3. Now, if you are playing Itachi (if you have earned him yet) always use a special if your opponant is really ticking you off. It takes out over half of your opponants life points. His jutsu is called the Ichu fiomi sharingon. It can only be used in the Uchiha clan, like Saske. Saske's is a little less powerful, only he uses a powerful lighting strike, but if you're going to use it you have to hold the X button down and he say "SHARINGON" and the sharingon eye will appear over your guy.

4. One of me and my best friend's favorite team mate thing that you can make is Guy Sensei with Kakashi Sensei. If you know how to use them right, they can create a powerful double attack.

5. Kakashi can also use the Sharingon, because he's a copy ninja. This silverheaded soldier (because he has silver hair). Itachi is one of his most arch-nemesis's. And yes, I know that I'm obsessed with this show. I have a crush on one of the characters!


This game is rated T, because you can throw knives and there is a lot of fighting, but no blood.

Video Game Belt Loop: Explain the Rating System


The Video Game Rating System is because like, let's say that your kid wanted a video game that the title was "Call of Duty." How would you know if it was appropriate for him? I mean, first you think it's like a math game and the next thing you know your kids character is shooting some dude with an assault rifle! So they invented the Video Game Rating System that way you know that your kid is not doing that. Here's how it works:


The first level is E for Everyone. Things like Mario and if they make them, an Americas Funniest Home Videos fame.


Games for little bitty kids are games that are rated EC for Early Childhood.


E 10+ which are games for ages 10 and up. I'm 10, btu sometimes I like to play games like Tony Hawk's American Wasteland which is rated T because it has swears in it. Plus sometimes there's a little bit of bleeding because it's about skateboarding....even when your guy is wearing kneepads, elbow pads, helmet and handpads.


T games are for Teens, and these games are very cool mostly because there's a lot of action and excitement. My mom only lets me play T games that are sports and Naruto.


M games are for mature, which means a lot a violence. Which makes me want to play them but my mom says NO. NO. NO. Mature games are for adults only.
