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.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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.

"Viva Las Buffy"! Before Buffy ever arrived in Sunnydale, she did a little stint in Vegas. Not exactly doing what we have her pictured here, but we couldn't resist ...
Frightened and confused by her new-found powers as the Slayer, Buffy has picked up and left her mom and little sister behind. Hiding out in Sin City is no way to avoid trouble, though, especially when the city's gentle citizens are being terrorized by just a few of the many bodies buried without headstones in Vegas's seedier strips. Perfect for Christmas!
