Shortblog: The Real News of the Epic Mickey 2 Announcement

   0


Thankfully, it seems that Dreamrift is still alive and well: while I definitely would have preferred another original game for their 3DS announcement, I can�t complain too much about a licensed project keeping things afloat (WayForward could definitely use the competition, if nothing else). Will Power of Illusion be good? Like you I have no idea, but certainly hope so � heck, I don�t have a 3DS myself, but I�m half-tempted to pick up a copy just to show a little support (much as I�m doing with Gravity Rush for the Vita, another system I lack, at least so far). In any event, for the moment I�m just glad to see that at least one of my favored companies, and a standard-bearer for gaming as I most fondly know and remember it, hasn�t faded away along with the rest � if any guys from Dreamrift ever end up reading this by some odd twist of fate, best of luck and I�m pulling for you!

About BulletMagnetone of us since 9:04 PM on 10.04.2008

Thanks kindly for paying my blog a visit.

I'm currently looking for paid writing gigs, so if you might want anything written shoot me a message (craighats at hotmail dot com).

In case the contents of this blog don't make it obvious enough, I have something of an affinity for slightly "offbeat" titles, so if there's something out there that few others cover, there's a fair chance I'm at least somewhat up on it.

If there's any sort of (reasonable) inquiry you'd like me to address, please don't hesitate to be in touch.

Below are a handful of recaps and other links (oldest listed first by section), in case you're interested - asterisks mark promoted articles.
