  • GUILDscroll You might not have

    known that there is a group of dedicated individuals who take

    time out of their busy schedules to

    help save the lives of children in

    the twin cities by PLAYING

    GAMES!

    You might not have known that

    there are ways for you to help out

    tooby either signing up as a gam-

    You might not have known that

    there are amazing children, like

    Victoria Enmon, who could use

    your support, and are just up the

    road at your local Childrens Mira-

    cle Network Hospital.

    But, now you know. (And know-

    ings half the battle).

    And here is the best part...YOU can

    help too!

    The Guild exists to collaborate our

    efforts and build cooperation

    through the community so that

    more people know about this awe-

    some opportunity and how their

    efforts can really help save the lives of children.

  • Game: The Wolf Among Us

    Developer: Telltale Games

    Episodes 1-4 available now on for PS3 & 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC/MAC and on the App store. Epi-sode 5 release date: July 8th

    This won't really be an in depth re-view of episodes 1-4, as there is just too much game to include here. We will give you an overview, though, and hopefully enough to decide whether you want to give it a try.

    Telltale games is an incredibly solid studio who is, I think, redefining what an interactive game is, the stories that can be told, and how we feel after the credits roll.

    The Wolf Among Us is based on Bill Willingham's Fables comic book series published by DC Comics.

    The story takes place in Fabletown, a small community located inside Man-hattan in 1986. There are a series of murders happening in the city and it is up to youone of the most recog-nizable fairy tale characters everto solve the case.

    You are the Big Bad Wolf, or as he is known in Fabletown, Sheriff Bigby. Bigby is dealing with a lot of issues, both internally and physically, throughout the game. Each interroga-tion, each Quick Timed Event, is a choice. Does he be as big and as bad as he can be or does he prove to all of the fables that doubt him, that he has

    changed?

    The art style and the graphics in this game are great. The voiceover work and writing are creative and clever. And they did a great job with the soundtrack; it has a dark noir, synth feel to it. The replay-ability for this game is mid to high. The story of a sick and twisted serial killer is a riv-eting one that will hook you and have you thinking of your favorite child-hood fairy tales in a whole new light.

    Episodes 1-4 rating: An 8.5 out of 10.
