The big news today is the long-awaited confirmation ofXenoblade‘s release over here in the States. Seeing as I’ve already imported it, this doesn’t affect me too terribly much. However, it’s so nice to see Nintendo finally provide a new piece of software (that isn’tZelda)for their console.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past No matter how pretty the graphics or epically huge the enemy, if a boss fight is notcreative, it fails to impress. Not to single out one game, butActRaiseris the perfect example of this.

They look decent but they’re also still images and I can’t shake this sinking feeling that I’m not going to like what I see when they’re in motion. I would love for this to be a game that pays homage to my favorite graphic novel without tarnishing its legacy....
