I Am The Night - Lance Icarus

Kefka Palazzo is a scary mothatrucka. You thought Stephen King made clowns scary? Yeah, that clown never poisoned an entire city's water supply and repeatedly murders his suborrdinates. For all you kids who started playing the series at Final Fantasy 7, let me be clear about one thing. Sephiroth is one scary dude (in a Norman Bates sort of way), but when he goes to sleep at night, he has nightmares about Kefka.

Dizzy has been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum since he got it on Tuesday and I've been watching him play. That game does two things to me as a spectator. One, it brings out the worst of my backseat gaming due to it's incredible possibilities for exploration and the fact that everything COULD be a clue to one of Riddler's riddles. Two, it makes me squeel like a Batman fangirl when I see things like the Wayne Tech building off in the distance and get to listen to psychiatric evaluations of Arkham inmates. I'm not proud of either of these facts, but that just shows how great this game is. Every turn is another chance for adventure and it always keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm almost tempted to write a full review after we get done playing this game, not that I'd give it anything less than four stars.

Thanks for coming to the site and I hope you enjoyed the comic for the week. Have a good one!
