Who blogs here:
Erik spends his night and weekends saving worlds, slaying beasts and organizing mismatch shapes into straight lines. While First-person shooters (FPS),
survival horror and platformers are some of his favorite, there are no genre of game he won't play. From PC to PSP, Xbox to Wii. Erik is just as passionate
with playing games as he is talking about them.
J.R. is the sorta-completionist gamer. He almost always completes the main story arc in all games he plays, but seldom plays the "gamer's game" to complete everything. He'll never get all 120 stars or fight Emerald Weapon, but he will save the day. His favorite genres are RPG, Action/Adventure, Platformer, and MMO. He doesn't like fighting games and is rather picky about FPSs.
Ted has been hooked on gaming since the birth of the Atari 2600, when high fantasy adventure consisted of maneuvering a colored square through a castle maze while dodging pesky dragons that looked like 2D seahorses with beaks and wacky bats that took great pleasure in stealing your keys. To this day, while he enjoys platformers, first-person shooters and puzzlers, he is most passionate about RPGs and any other games which weave great stories into the overall experience.
Amethyst, a gamer that giggles at calling herself a gamer because she fits none of the glamorous stereotypes of female gamers, has been gaming since her father brought home the sparkly new Nintendo Entertainment System back in '89. Up until then she had dabbled with the Atari at a cousin's, but it was Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt and pounding with her hands on the Power Pad in World Class Track Meet that sealed her fate. Despite a three year stint that she doesn't talk about, she has been playing video games and other nerdly activities with enthusiasm. She enjoys puzzlers, RPGs, MMORPGs, certain shooters/fighters, platformers, magic carpet rides and um, mechanical pencil sharpeners. She hates, despite a couple of exceptions, racing games and sports games. Amethyst is married to Erik and is friends with J.R. and Ted.
Holding my breath.

Game On
Yes. The creator of Beyond Good and Evil has announced that he is working on a sequel to the amazing, but overlooked last-gen title.
Yes. He also mentioned that he has been working on it for a year.
Yes. You should go play it. In fact, for the American PC gamer you can find the title on Steam (for whatever reason, the Ubisoft titles on Steam are only on sell for US clients?) While you are there, download Psychonauts as well.
Yes. A sequel to Beyond Good and Evil is a good thing. Not only does it feature one of video gaming's best heroines, the game also ends with a cliffhanger that many of us never thought we would see play out. Here is our chance.
No. Ubisoft has not green-lit the project yet. Really? Seriously? A year along and not a word from Ubisoft?
Yes. I feel pretty confident that if the creator is talking about the game to a French gaming magazine, that should mean the game will eventually see the light of day.
