Spectre's Review
Chills, chills, and more chills. Ever wonder what it would be like to look up into the night sky, and see that one of
Jupiter's moons is gone? To discover land formations in the middle of nowhere that weren't there six months before? This
one really sent some chills down my spine. You actually have absolutely no idea what's going on, and when you do, you
wonder why you didn't see it coming, and now it's too late. I love it when the Earth gets blowed up good!!! One of the
more interesting technologies discussed is the bomb used to destroy Earth. Two huge things spinning around near the
Earth's center, and then when they collide, the go BOOM!!! What scared me was how realistic things were, taking place
right here in our own time. I loved it!
