Tim Burton’s 3D vision of the Lewis Carroll classic opened this weekend. How does it hold up? Can Burton still deliver in the new visual format?
A couple years ago, Ubisoft did a brief reboot to the Prince of Persia franchise–one which, from what’s been released about the next game, will probably be a one off thing. The game was criticized by some Hardcore Gamers (I feel like I put a “z” at the end of that for some reason) for being too easy, for not having enough combat. Some time has past since the game came out and now I’ve gotten my hands on it, and I’ve beaten it – the Epilogue DLC too. So, it’s time for me to give my thoughts on the definitive Prince of Persia experience. After hearing all the negative buzz, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

When the game came out, the game got good review scores, was considered to be a system seller, and frankly did well enough to get a sequel which came out last year. So, I’ve played the game, and I like it – but does it have that good Indiana Jones feel?

When I was attending Kumoricon this year, attended a Q&A panel held by Svetlana Chmakova, one the new wave of Western artists following in the footsteps of Adam Warren and Fred Perry by putting out OEL (or Original English Language) manga. At the panel I learned about Chmakova’s latest work, an Urban Fantasy series being published through Yen Press, with chapters being serialized through their magazine. I’ve liked her not quite genre (but fandom related) series DramaCon, so I’ve picked up the first installment. Read the rest of this entry »
