Arts and Entertainment Page 5 April 19, 2013 'Bioshock Infinite' will blast you away Josiah Vasey A&E Editor Bioshock Infinite has a lot to live up to. The original Bioshock was critically acclaimed as one of the greatest shooters of this generation. After a dissapointing sequel, fans are ready for more. Bioshock infinite was hoped to reach the level of awesomeness as the first game. Bioshock Infinite doesn't do this. It surpasses the first Bioshock and is being called one of the greatest shooters ever by gamers and critics alike. One of the greatest aspects of Bioshock Infinite is it's story. You are Booker Dewitt, and you have been assigned with a simple task: Get the girl. What is not simple is that the girl is located in a huge city in the sky that worships America's founding fathers. The grand f lying city of Columbia was once part of www.vgfaqs.com America, but seceded after it felt that America wasn't patriotic enough. The girl is Elizabeth, a girl locked in a tower in the middle of the city. She is fortold to be the cities' savior, it's "Lamb". It is hands down one of the best stories I have ever experienced in a video game. It has an amazing plot twist at the end that I never saw coming. But what really brings the story together is the girl, Elizabeth. She is a great character that follows you throughout the game. She helps in combat, throwing you health and ammo when you need it most. She can also open rifts to parralell dimensions and bring out things like cover, health and ammo. She is a joy to have in te game and really adds more to the experience. Her character is easy to love and is really the life of the game. The gameplay is great. As in the previous Bioshocks, there are plasmids, now called vigors, which grant the player superhuman abilities, such as the ability to shoot lightning bolts or stop to grow up at some point so why not now? Then they talk about I'm growing up and I'm ganna leave you behind unless you're going to grow up also. I think some of us can relate to this song because everyone grows up at one point and then there is always that one person that you want to grow up, or you leave that person behind. This album is a little different from Paramore, but the lead singer, Hayley Williams, definitely pulled it off. This album has their classic rock edge, but a little more slow than what I expected, but it's not a disappointment at all. With every song written somewhat by Williams, I'd say this is a new Paramore; the new and approved Paramore. I would say this album is more for teenage girls, but with some of their songs it's relatable to anyone. I love this album, I would have to give it five stars, plus. It's a little different, but a good different. This album is definitely worth putting in my playlist and listening to it with my everyday music. If I were you I would go buy the newest Paramore CD, at your nearest Wal Mart for $11.88 before it's all sold out! It's that worth it! Julia Liebert Staff Writer trails, and advance trails, but they are all fun. They have about 50 ranch horses that you can pick from to ride. If you become an owner you can keep your horse up there and have the luxuries of riding you own horse. There is an upper arena where they do barrel racing and pole bending four times a year. If you don't know how to ride a horse you can get lesions every Saturday and become a better rider. There are 150 cabins that a family can pick out of when they make a reservation to go up there. There is heating and air conditioning in all cabins. Most of the cabins contain two bunk beds and a single bed. All of the cabins have a bathroom and outside the cabin there is a barbecue and a picnic table so a family can hang out in the nice weather that the ranch mostly has. All you really need to bring is your everyday items and it is like home. There are also 156 RV hook up sights so a family oncoming bullets that make combat all the more fun. Another great thing about the combat is the skyhook. The skyhook is a device for riding skylines, huge overhead rails connecting parts of Columbia. You can easily hop onto one of these skylines and zip along them, moving you quickly through the combat. All in all, Bioshock Infinite is one of the best games I have ever played. It gets almost everything right. The combat is f luid and fun, the story is deep and complex, the enviroments are realistic and colorful... The list goes on. It is a must buy! A frekin' awesome game. 'Paramore's new album heads The 'R-Wild Horse Ranch' in a new but better direction features fun close to home Savannah Rice Staff Writer On April 5 2013, Paramore has released their newest album. Just like their original rock sensation, their music still lives on. Their popular hit song released on January 22, 2013, is called "Now," which is the title of their album. In this song, at first, they talk about getting to a new place and moving nowhere but forward; and then towards the end they say we are already there, they reached what they wanted and now all they have to focus on is what's next. Before the album was released, one of their singles was called "Still into You," which was released on March 14 th , 2013, and ever since then, every Paramore fan, fell in love. This song is a happy love song that gets you up on your feet and puts you into a good mood. Although they don't usually write happy love songs, I'd have to say this song turned out to be a good one. It could be about your boyfriend, your significant other, your crush or just that special someone. One of my personal favorites would have to be the song "Grow Up" in the lyrics they talk about everyone has "I love this album, I would have to give it five stars, plus. It's a little different, but a good different." The song "Future" is kind of a inspirational worded song. It's not much lyrics but it's enough to leave you thinking. This song talks about think of the future, live your future now and don't live in the past and just think about the future. In the song, "Ain't it Fun" it talks about a person that is self centered. Pretty much it says, what're you going to do when the world don't orbit around you? I like this song because a lot of people only think about theirself and this song says something about them. A different but awesone album. The R-Wild Horse Ranch is one of the closest vacation spots to Red Bluff. The ranch is located forty five to sixty minutes out on highway 36 west and has 14,080 acres.
