A complete communications blackout led the Illusive Man to find out that the colonists have disappeared in the last few days. He sends Shepard to investigate, thinking the disappearance may have a link to the Reapers . . .

Outer Heaven Rising
When was the first time you heard of Metal Gear? I remember seeing an ad for the game in one of the first issues of Nintendo Power. From that moment I was sold. The ad boasted images and descriptions of more than a dozen weapons and cool gadgets. I had to have it. The game finally released a few months later and I was not disappointed. I spent days sneaking and fighting my way through Outer Heaven before finally confronting the Metal Gear and uncovering the true identity of Big Boss. Fast forward 22 years and I find myself tasked with writing the guide for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. As a longtime fan of the series this has been an exciting opportunity.
Peace Walker takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater but before [...]

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
With a new game and a blockbuster movie just around the corner, it’s a busy month for Prince of Persia fans. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands continues the popular Sands of Time story line. Set between The Sands of Time and The Two Thrones, the latest game fills a critical gap in the saga as the Prince struggles to restore order to his brother’s kingdom following the release of an ancient threat: The Sand Army.
While the game shares many similarities to its predecessors, there are several new layers of innovative features. One of the most exciting additions is the customizable upgrade system. As you defeat enemies and discover the treasures locked within hidden sarcophagi, you earn XP. As XP accumulates, new levels are earned along with upgrade points. These points can be spent in [...]

Part 2 & 3 of the Alan Wake blog- Psychological Evaluations & Episodic Evidence
Part 2- Psychological Evaluations
The second main chapter of this compilation of court records, interviews, advice, and period ephemera, is a short piece of information for each resident Wake encountered on his travels. The history, biographical information, and evaluations present in this chapter reflect the most accurate aspects of those living and visiting the Bright Falls area of Washington State.

Waking Up in Bright Falls
The Alan Wake Official Survival Guide: Overview
I first encountered the work of Alan Wake almost four years ago to the day, on May 9th, 2006. As an avid follower of his work, I leapt at the opportunity to study the man’s movements, his various tasks and treks around the Pacific Northwest, and the many strange, obtuse, and violently frightening occurrences therein. These have been compiled into a weighty tome, published in association with Roundabout Press. The following sums up the elements contained within this book:
Part 1: Survival in a Hostile Climate
Gathering evidence was a lengthy process taking many months, but the results provide an interesting and extremely helpful introduction into the small inlet town of Bright Falls, Washington State. The chapter begins with a Foreward I wrote, and an odd, and exclusively-presented “Lost File”, apparently [...]
