Portals
$15.98
Portals is a big step up from The Game Of Life. The vocals are done alot better on Portals than their previous albums. I can listen to this whole album without skipping songs, like I have on their previous albums. Out of all the Arsonists Get All The Girls CD's Portals is the one to have. I didn't like their previous albums that much, but was worth a listen. This band is great to see live in concert. I think Portals is AGATG best album to date.
My favorite songs on Portals are:
1. Violence in A Fluid: Triceratops
2. Tea Time Tibbons
3. The 42nd Ego
4. Skiff For The Suits
5. I Lost My Loss of Ruin

PORTALS: Releasing the Power and Presence of God Into the Earth (Volume 1)
$16.99
If you think you know about portals, and haven't read this book yet, then think again! This is a wealth of information about God's intentions and communication with man. The author starts in the beginning, Genesis and walks you through God's plan. This was a very timely lesson for me, from a very knowledgeable teacher.

Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals
$19.99
Where to start? First off, let me just say that I enjoyed the original spectrobes game. It had a fun hook and the controls worked well. The sequel, however, fails to deliver the spark that made the original good. I found the fossil hunting with the new elements tedious and the story mode slightly confusing, especially if you take a break from the game for a few days. The objective menu is there, but it is not very specific.
Now for the gameplay. The spectrobes battle system from the last game has been changed, and not for the better. Instead of the super powered attacks from the first title, you now use "double attacks" that are cool, but don't seem to aid you in battle as much, as you have limited control over them. One thing that changed about the battle system that I did like however, is the addition of battles outside of the vortexes where rallin actually can fight. Gone are the days where Rallin's highest strength attacks only cause minimal damage. He no longer fights the Krawl first hand. Instead, as I mentioned, krawl spheres appear outside of the vortexes that Rallin is responsible for killing.
Now, with all that criticism, you may be wondering why I gave it 4 stars. i gave it 4 stars because it makes good use of the touch screen, has many extras to collect and unlock, and delivers a decent second helping of the original spectrobes game that I so enjoyed. It may not be perfect, but it's original, and that counts in my book.
My opinion: If you played the original spectrobes, you should give this a try. If not, you should try the better original game to see if this game is your cup of tea.
