Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.


DEMO ROUND UP
October 03, 2006

I finally played Lego Star Wars (a demo of II on the 360), and I was darn disappointed. I had been admiring the series from afar since the first one came out and seemed so endearing and the second one got really good reviews, way too good for LSW to be just a simple little game with simple controls and simple objectives. But that demo suggests that's exactly what Lego Star Wars is. Maybe it picks up, don't know, but running around using "force powers" on trash cans to collect coins is lame. Also, not everything was made of Lego! The characters and things strewn around the landscaper were, but not the buildings...as a former Lego fanatic, that bothered me.

What better than Phoenix Wright
September 29, 2006

A sense that my first post needed to be magnificent and portentous kept me from writing for so long.
envisioned a mainfesto on the current state of game criticism or somesuch, but I'll take the plunge by announcing my pre-order of Phoenix Wright 2, the fancy Japanese-English version that comes out months before the American release. With a free sticker set! (PW fans, get on this @ play-asia.com. It's $30 with $3 S&H, which is probably better than you'll get for the American version on Amazon in Feb. '07)

The game's cover has Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth, the guys you would expect, but also a silver-haired woman with a mean gaze and a lavish cravat. I was perusing a Nintendo catalog today, and it had a picture of this woman; her dialog box was labeled "von Karma."

HOLD IT!
