Runaway – A Road Adventure

I have just discovered a nice little gem called “Runaway A Road Adventure“. Despite the name making us think it’s an American game, this title was developed in Spanish, then translated to German, and now just came out in France. There is also an English version in development to be released in the next few months. As the name suggests, this is an adventure game, and a pretty good one from what I have seen in the demo available on their site. It is reminescent of Lucasarts Adventure Classic such as the Monkey Island games and Day of the Tentacle. The game is coming out in Quebec on April 22nd.

Le Dernier Chapitre

I just got the box set for the first season of Le Dernier Chapitre, published by Morningstar Entertainment and I must say they did a great job producing it. The artwork is great and so is the video transfer.

Star Wars Trilogy Petition

A petition is being organised to get the original version of the Star Wars trilogy out on DVD.

As it stands, George Lucas has stated in an interview recently that he would only release the Special Edition version of the three classic films on DVD. If you want to see the original version on DVD, go and sign the petition on OriginalTrilogy.com.

The Animatrix

The second short film of The Animatrix has been posted on the web. Entitled Program, it is a pretty cool story.

Le Dernier Chapitre

The first season of Le Dernier Chapitre, presented on Radio-Canada last year, will be released on DVD this week on March 18th. The english version, The Last Chapter will also be available. This series tells the story of rival biker gangs in Toronto, fighting for control of the territory. It stars Michael Ironside and Roy Dupuis.

Dark Angel Lives On!

Dark Angel Lives On! Even though the series was cancelled after two seasons, and never saw an ending on TV, the series lives on. Two books have been published based on the show. The first one, Before the Dawn, is a prequel to the series, while Skin Game is a sequel, picking up where the series ended. Both of these are already out. A third novel is scheduled for a June release, called After the Dark.

As well, a Dark Angel video game was released for the Playstation 2 and XBox and the Complete First Season will be offered on DVD shortly.
