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.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, I felt the same way. It was odd. Not bad, but odd.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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)?

Hey, monkey lover! Where's your monkey?
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.
