| CHAOS BLEEDS This past weekend was a very Buffy oriented one for me. To start, I watched a few episodes of Angel Season 2 on DVD. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to watch very many due to the issues mentioned in the previous post. Far too much work to allow for sufficient Angel watching. I also went out and splurged after reading an article in "Playstation Magazine" about the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds game. "PSM" gave the game a rating of 9 out of 10. This is not something that they hand out to just any game. Of course, I would expect nothing less, seeing as how the first game for XBox was absolutley great. (I have an XBox for the sole reason that the first Buffy game was produced ONLY for XBox--yes, I'm a freak.) So, I bought the new game, and it's very good as far as the game itself goes. However, while the addition to this game of Amber Benson doing voiceovers as Tara is fantastic, I am a bit disappointed that not only does Sarah Michelle Gellar NOT do voiceovers (no surprise--she didn't do the first game), but neither does Emma Caulfield as Anya, or Alyson Hannigan as Willow. Granted, Emma wasn't in the first one because that game was set before the arrival of Anya on the show, so the disappointment is less in that case. But, Aly not coming back for round 2 and doing the voice of Willow is hard to take. She developed such a distinct cadence to Willow's speech that it is impossible for another actor to duplicate it and it comes off sounding stupid. The final Buffy-related item that arrived this weekend was my season 5 cast poster. On a similar note, I am apparently not the only one who is becoming addicted to Buffy. I have gotten one of my colleagues hooked. I loaned her my season 1 DVD's so that she could start watching from the beginning, and she told me Monday morning that she basically spent her Saturday watching all 12 hours in a row because she JUST COULDN'T STOP. I love it. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 6:47:00 PM |
