#5 Super Mario Sunshine
This game came out a long time ago for the Nintendo game cube, but in our opinion it is still cool it’s about a water squirter named F.L.U.D.D. This game was the first to introduce shadow Mario. The price for this game is $60.

#6 Bonus Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon
I know this isn’t really a Mario game but it’s still cool in our opinion. Luigi and Professor Elvin Gadd have ghost friends. But when King Boo destroys the dark moon and takes a piece, then he controls the ghosts and traps Mario in a painting with the help of PolterGust 5000 (a modified vacuum cleaner that now sucks up ghosts). Luigi goes through mansions to defeat King Boo and other ghosts and to save Mario. When Luigi goes through the mansion you are in suspense of what will happen next. This game’s price is $10-$20.

Rocket League
BY Eli s.
Have you ever finished a game that you liked and had nothing else to do in the game? If you like video games based on soccer, hockey, basketball, complete rumbling madness, and/or car games, then you will like the game Rocket League. Rocket League is like these games except instead of being a person on a team, you are flying, jumping, and boosting a car.
Rocket League is also really easy to play. It has simple controls, but mastering them takes time and practice. You can also change or edit your controls and camera view settings to whatever you prefer. Another reason that you should get Rocket League is that you can unlock and customize you car to however you want. There are also crates that you can buy. In crates, you can get items that can’t be unlocked from playing the game. There are different themed crates and crates that you can get from playing competitive multiplayer.
If you are using Steam (on computers) to play Rocket League then you can download workshops for free that are made by other people. Workshops are like mods that can be anything from new arenas with power ups to volleyball or golf. So what are you waiting for? Go and play Rocket League!

Top Favorite Kid's Video Games
By Lukas K.
#5 Roblox
Roblox is a game where you can personalize your character with whatever you want. There are many games within this game from trying to escape prison to playing football. This game can be played by boys and girls. My favorite game is called Jailbreak. You can be a cop or robber. I like being a robber because you can rob banks, jewelry stores, doughnut shops and trains. Also, you can escape jail if you get arrested. Click here for more information. |
#4 Battle Cats
Battle Cats is a game where you start off with a normal cat and can get better cats. You battle the entire world and then go to the moon. You fight a boss on the moon. After you beat the moon you get a new cat. And you can do it 3 times. After you beat the first moon you can fight in the future. Also, there are event stages where you can get new cats. Click here for more information. |
#3 Minecraft
Minecraft is a game where you can be in Creative Mode where you are invincible and have all the materials. You can build houses, forts, castles, roller coasters, and much more. Also, there is Survival Mode where you can die. You start out with nothing and can get materials. You can craft swords and kill monsters.

#2 Terraria
Terraria is like Minecraft but more complex and 2D. You can fight more bosses, get more armor, get more weapons, and fight more monsters. My favorite weapon is the flairon. It is a duke fishtron head on a chain that shoots bubbles that home in on the enemy. Also, my favorite armor is beetle armor, one of the best armors in the game. The hardest boss in the game is the Moon Lord. He has eyes in both palms. Also, he has 5 eyes on his head. If you beat him you get a cool prison that shoots rainbow/lasers. |
#1 Star Wars Battlefront 2
In this game you can play single player, multiplayer, and online. You are in a Star Wars battle and fight Stormtroopers or the Rebels. You can choose your gun, and there are lots of jets. There is also a lot of Jedi and Sith. My favorite is Yoda. Click here for more information. |
I interviewed XXX students at Bel Aire School and asked them which their favorite video games are. There was a three-way tie between Star Wars Battlefront 2, Roblox and Minecraft, each receiving 22% of the votes. Here are all the results below.
Opinions on YouTube
By Simon L. & Cody M.
A lot of us use YouTube. But what does the majority of the users actually use it for. Entertainment? Education? And what is the most popular category? That and more ahead in the graph and article.
We took a survey with a fifth grade class and found out that how-to videos along with gaming videos were the top uses of YouTube. Vlogs, fails, and TV shows were the rest of the top five. We were surprised how few people voted for vlogs considering how popular Jake and Logan Paul are. Another thing we were surprised about was was how many votes TV shows got. We were not even anticipating it as a category.
|
This made us curious. What qualities make these types of videos more popular? Check out the answers in this other survey below.
We get that people like funny videos, but what is still weird is that people still like TV shows over everything else they could have chosen. So we went around showing people our article and everybody, and we mean everybody, changed their minds to choosing vlog which was what we thought would be the most popular choice. So we asked ourselves why. We wondered if this article actually changed people’s minds about their favorite YouTube category. Which made us happy. I hope this YouTube article changes your mind about what you will watch when you get home from school or your done with your homework.

first lego league
by Ryan S.
First LEGO League is a team project. I strongly encourage people with minds that want to extend farther and want to take on challenges to try it. You will need to build a robot and program it to move, put things in different places, and take things out. These obstacles are call missions. The harder the mission, the more points you earn. You will have a poster that will solve real world problems to extend your mind and creativity.
I’ve been doing it for two years, and the fun part is to meet up with friends to make your poster and robot with MINDSTORMS. Your team also needs a team logo and name. My team’s name was The Talented Engineering Squad. The robot’s work is only a tiny part of it. You can even be last and go to the finals just for a good poster and core value (respect for each other). There will be three or more people on a team, the team will have one or two main coaches. The work needs to be made by the whole team (coaches not included). You will need to have team meetings for the project.
