So Apparently… I’m Not Around Anymore

As seen on Meme Generator.

My wife is now desperately trying to find my life insurance policy and call our agent.

Prior to the Investigation

Picking up from my last article about Deadly Premonition — the excellent though ugly game developed by Access Games which is finally releasing in the UK today — we’re about to join FBI special agent Francis York Morgan during Chapter 02 as he exits the Great Deer Yard Hotel following a completely baffling conversation with proprietor Polly Oxford. Greenvale’s Sheriff’s Department has left a little present out front of the hotel for Morgan: a police cruiser along with a Master Key that allows York to drive any police car in town. After York marvels over how the key was left on top of the car and no one stole it, you’ll find yourself behind the wheel.

Welcome to Greenvale

It’s almost Deadly Premonition time again!

“Again?” Didn’t this game already come out in February?

Yes it did, in the US and Japan (as Red Seeds Profile). But on Friday October 29th this budget-priced masterpiece will finally hit the UK just in time for Halloween, where apparently they’ve been clamoring for it. Therefore I’d like to take the opportunity to introduce all my British readers and forum members to the world of Deadly Premonition via this short description of the game, the story, and some basic mechanics you won’t learn about in the manual.

Gamers Divided Over New Devil May Cry

The Tokyo Game Show is going on this week, and emerging from the media frenzy is a new trailer for the next Devil May Cry game, simply titled DmC. Here is the trailer:

Though the trailer is mostly pre-rendered CG and doesn’t show any confirmed game play, the focus would appear to be a young, possibly teenage Dante with short dark hair (though a little white is still showing in some places).

Why Are Zombies So Popular?

Zombies are killing it. Not just on your game console or your local movie screens, but soon they’ll take over television when Frank Darabont’s adaptation of The Walking Dead comics debuts on AMC this Halloween. Though zombies have been a part of popular culture for almost half a century, there’s simply no doubt that they are currently a prevalent topic of entertainment and media coverage these days. It’s as if a virus was released into the media back in the 1960′s that is spreading and taking hold of more creative properties every year.
