This thread looked awfully lonely, so I wanted to post #1.
So, what did everone think about the Willow and Tara issues?
I thought the second issue was passing strange. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Still, at least they tried something new, and it wasn't a cliche-filled abomination like some other
Buffy
comic that shall remain nameless.
One other comment. Dark Horse is coming out with an anthology called
Reveal,
I think. I saw one commentator mention it because it was the only publication where you could see Scott Lobdell and Pablo Picasso mentioned on the same promotional page. The mind boggles.
I thought it was very strange too -- and didn't really make sense but much better than the mess that is the current Buffy series.
Yeah, I felt the same way. It was odd. Not bad, but odd.
Review of the Buffy video game. Not as funny as this guy's usual reviews, but I'm not at all surprised that he's a fan of the show.
Is the Buffy video game for the computer or for a game cube type machine?
That sucks. =( DH's friend works at a company that was working on some of the background graphics for the Buffy game so I was hoping to get a free version from him. Oh well.
I had been thinking about getting an X-box just for the
Buffy
game, but after that review, I will definitely hold off. Does anybody know if they plan on releasing a PS2 version of the game down the road, or have they allied themselves with the Forces of Darkness (aka Microsoft)?
Willow and Tara started strong, but the second issue left me kinda empty. Dunno why, exactly. I expected more, I suppose.
Buffy on X-Box isn't bad, but the fact that I couldn't jump from ledge to ledge in the sunken church kept killing me. I stopped after 1/2 hour of constant dying. And Buffy with a Super-Soaker full of holy water? Bizzare.
different review accessible to non ny subscribers here.
Try and get past the bias behind lines like this "Given that licensed games generally suck, and licensed games from rapidly-dating, second-rate teen dramas also generally suck, we did not have high expectations for Buffy: The Game." Ouch!
I've always had a soft spot for platformers though and would like to try the older BTVS game that came out for gameboy.
