The writer/company president agreed to take the time from his daily routine to give GEN the scoop on Peter and his boyhood pals ... and foes.
Awakening author Nick Tapalansky talks comics, zombies and zombie comics with The Nerdy Bird! Plus, Mexican brothels?!
Last time we interviewed the creative minds behind The Black Cherry Bombshells. But what about the comic's illustrator? We asked Sacha Borisich about her female role at Zuda, what she thinks of the digital medium, and her reaction to the zombie-infested, girl gang story.
My first convention dished out the excitement like an all-you-can-eat buffet of awesomey goodness. The area surrounding Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment booth swarmed with crowds and security, but being inside the booth felt like breezing into a zen bubble that not even the loudest of fans could pop. Prying me away from Scribblenauts and Batman: Arkham Asylum was no easy feat.
As GEN’s DS fanatic, I was lucky enough to demo a few of the upcoming games a few weeks ago at E3. Whether I’m headed to the park, beach or waiting in line at Disneyland -my DS is a necessity. With my ever-growing list of “must-haves” a few titles stood out among the rest, and I am anxiously awaiting their releases in a few months.
The historical city of Kisaragi is being hit by a growing number of violent crimes with no logical explanation. It appears that a parasite called Silent- a worm born from malicious scorn and utter hatred- has infected over 10,000 people in the city, causing them to commit suicide, murder, and even become harmful to animals. Not even the parent’s of the hero, Atsuki Saijo, are immune to such vicious crimes. In order to avenge his parent’s, Atsuki goes through a dangerous operation to attain Lux-Pain in his left arm, a power so great that it turns his left eye gold when he’s searching out Silent.
The organization that Atsuki works for is called Fort- a psychic detective division that is investigating the source of the unexplained crimes. In the first step toward cracking the case, Atsuki goes undercover at a school to find the recipient of an email sent by a group infected with Silent right before they committed suicide. Going around school asking questions is one way to get information, but Atsuki’s power, called Sigma, allows him to look inside people and objects to find hidden emotions, called Shinen. With the dedication to get revenge fueling his fire, a psychic detective team by his side, and the powerful Lux-Pain in his arm, Atsuki Saijo has the dynamic combination to solve this mystery once and for all and break the Silent of Kisaragi!

Castlevania has provided years of hack-and-slash/RPG action for eager fans of the series. It’s no surprise then, that it should be a smash hit on the Nintendo DS. Its newest incarnation, Order of Ecclesia, provides the same white-knuckle challenge with more of some familiar characters, storyline, and gameplay.To compare it to series great Symphony of the Night is a bit farfetched, but what is presented here can stand well on its own two feet.
Quick start-and-go games are definitely one of the DS’s fortes, and Crosswords DS is no exception.

Of course it’s common to see celebrities promoting and advertising a product, but it’s rare that you see them promote video games… and even more rare that it’s females! I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my favorite celebs, Liv Tyler, testing her brain age on Brain Age 2 while I was watching TV. American Idol winner country sweetheart Carrie Underwood does another ad lounging on her tour bus and playing with her Nintendog. And Ugly Betty star America Ferrara joins in on the fun as well.
