Hack/Slash #2 – Advanced Review

I’ve never actually read a Hack/Slash comic before this one that I am reviewing. After avidly researching as much as I could and reading blurbs on the back of trades, I found out this is basically about a psychopath who kills other psychopaths, to put it bluntly. I thought that was pretty cool and on top of that on the inside of the cover it reads, “…a must-read for fans of horror, quirky characters or just plain hot chicks killin’ stuff. Luckily, there’s never been a better time to jump on board than right now” by IGN. I just thought “sweet.” Cassie and her little team hunt down people known as slashers, which is typically what you would find in a slasher movie (really?). What is revealed at the beginning of this issue is that a slasher known as Acid Angel has come back after being killed, only to have learned that this is her second time being revived. Slashers always come back, right? Anyway, there is a conflict with both Cassie and her monstrous partner Vlad. At the same time a girl known as Cat Curio is in a forest that is filled with zombie animals. A man with a pumpkin face grabs her but Cat stabs him in the eye with a knife.

Designer Affinity: Markus Persson

It can’t be argued that one of the biggest things going on around the gaming world and the internet in general these days is Minecraft.
It’s a game that began as a side project by a Swedish Java developer,
but now has taken over the lives of almost 1.5 million gamers through
almost entirely word-of-mouth advertising. Minecraft has been
praised for the freedom it gives players and how it inspired hundreds of
YouTube videos showcasing the constructions of players around the
world. It’s definitely worth looking at the man behind this incredible
game.

Markus
‘Notch’ Persson began programming when he was 7 years old. He produced
his first text adventure game when he was 8 years old using his father’s
Commodore 128. Much later he worked professionally as a game developer
for King.com, developing web games using Flash. During this time, he
founded an MMORPG called Wurm Online with another designer by the name of Rolf Janneson.

27 #4 – Review

With just seconds left before his power switches, Will teleports back to rescue the last child being held hostage. As he does he finds the kid being interrogated by the hostage taker. Will distracts him and then teleports his hands into the guy’s head and rips his face apart. He grabs the last kid and teleports once more to the lab at UCLA. The Quantum math student is freaking out about all the kids and doesn’t know what to do with them. He tells the student to call the cops since that’s all they can do and begins saying goodbye to Mae; his niece that was one of the hostages and also the reason for his good deed.

Starborn # 4 – Review

Starborn is a mix between Halo, the Last Star Fighter, The Matrix and as we discover in this issue Eragon. Bejamin Warner was dreaming his life away, writing a sci-fi novel and going nowhere in his boring ten to five desk job, now he is running for his life from the same space aliens he was writing about. In the last issue we ended with Benjamin and Tara Takamoto (Benjamin’s sexy shape shifting bodyguard) caught between the impending forces of the beast men of the Pryde. Unfortunately Benjamin cannot use the gauntlet to escape this time. Still unaware of this, Ben uses the gauntlet only to display a flash of light, this was enough distraction for Tara to make her way among the Pryde. In doing so, Tara gets hurt but not too bad, this leads them right into a group called the witches of Arbor. The witches of Arbor apparently killed Benjamin’s parents. The witches don’t want to use violence to resolved this conflict but as Tara charge against them, they used what looks to be telekinesis or some type of antigravity magic on her.

Designer Affinity – Ken Levine

Sometimes it seems like a game was made just for you.  The features are exactly what you always wanted in a game, the story tells a tale that you’ve had in your head for years, and the message you take away sticks with you even after you’ve finished playing.  Often you’ll find that when you feel this way about several games they’re all made by the same company, sometimes even with the same Lead Designer behind them.  Such is the case with how I feel about Ken Levine at Irrational Games.
