Oh how I loved the holidays! Yes! I am back!

Long overdue I suppose but better late than never.

So what has been happening? Well the gaming department at andpop is now a bit lonely since our Editor in Chief of Games Josh Salem embarked on his dream career.  Josh now works for the Video Games Industry and we couldn’t be more proud and happy for him. We wish him all the best at his new exciting career! All the Best to you Josh!

So gaming wise expect our usual blogs and reviews to start up again. Also we have yet to announce a game of the year(seems like every game publication is doing just that) so I suppose myself and my fellow writers can blog about what we loved dearly this year.

Besides that I had a chance to sit back and finally play some long overdue titles. What kept me busy this holiday were Dragon Age: Origins, Tekken 6, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and I got a long overdue chance to finally play a bit of Rune Factory Frontier. Nothing beats the deep freeze better than chilling at home with a good game or two.

So then I will go ahead and reveal the comic for the week.

I watch a lot of late night T.V and I love watching both Jay and Conan.

Recently however NBC is creating quite a buzz by canceling Leno and trying to mess with the time slots.

They keep talking about ratings and to be honest it doesn’t make much sense.

Well this one is fresh off the presses.  So all of a sudden something about the Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi being hit by a thrown statue is the headline of the day. I say it’s the work of Ezio from Assassins Creed 2.

I feel bad for the Italian PM, however he is lucky Al-Tair wasn’t after him. Besides, the man will make a full recovery.

So really have you seen this clip? It is pretty wild! Well that Ezio sure has a sense of humour.

Anyhow enjoy the image by clicking on it.

marioMy review of the New Super Mario Bros is on its way.
Playing the game I couldn’t help but wonder why the other Koopa Kids got the short end of the stick.
The game is insanely fun with four players and is a true surprise this holiday season.
Oh and honestly I had forgotten how many kids Koopa had..let alone how he had them in the first place.
It is best not to think about it and just enjoy the game.

mario Modern warfare 2 has taken a lot of my time.
In fact most if not all the PSN friends I have  are now glued to the game. Then out of nowhere came New Super Mario Bros. a game that has brought back that good old 4 player offline magic of the N64 times. Trust me the game is addictive.
I can’t really comment on sales of the game and how it’s doing in direct competition to MW2 but I will say this – don’t pass it up!

1Remember how awesome the first Transformers movie was?  I’m not talking about the 80′s cartoon movie, I mean the Michael Bay blockbuster from 2007.
Yea well let’s just say I wasn’t too amazed by the sequel. Just felt a tad bit hollow even for a transformers movie and there is just something wrong with how cool source material is handled by Bay.
But if you own a BluRay player or a PS3 you gotta see this baby in hi def.

117Alright, time for another award winning comic!
I’ve been busy warping up Metroid Prime Trilogy and have spent close to 90 hours on the entire set. Well worth it if you ask me so expect my review to go up shortly after this comic!

We all know ODST hit stores nationwide so it’s obvious that I had to do a Halo comic.
Seems like no matter how bungie tries to promote the game, it just isn’t the same without ol’ 117. Not to say it’s a bad game just … we miss Master Chief.

batmanOk, we all knew this was coming so I ask you, of all the super heroes out there who is the most lethal one?? I’m talking marvel and DC… the whole lot!

I know it’s been done in that whole Marvel vs DC series of comics and we all remember Amalgam comics (when DC and Marvel characters were combined in an alternate universe) but my point is this- I believe Batman to be the most lethal hero out there, simply put he is a man at the top of his game. It’s the same reason Lex Luthor is such a threat to humanity, in the end the most righteous and villainous characteristics emerge not from super human beings but simple human nature. Anyhow there are peeps out there who thought Wolverine could best Batman… sure… but why don’t we let the comic do the talking.

Oh and a special thanks to April and Staci for this one.

wolverineWell, this certainly was an interesting week…almost finishing my review on The METROID PRIME TRILOGY, played Arkham Asylum and unlocked tons of achievements and I saw Kanye act like a total douche on TV.
What else is new?? OH how about the MARVEL buyout?? It’s sad eh? But maybe that’s a plus for Marvel, imagine a good CG marvel movie made by Pixar?? Truth be told a lot of us aren’t sure yet since Disney just has this creepy vibe to it. (more…)

2This idea came a while back, haha just so you know.. the kid is holding a PSP with a PSP camera!

I’m going to stick to drawing using the tablet.. so bare with my shaky messy art.. it will eventually get better.

The idea for this comic came from a recent article I read talking about a game called Invizimals, check out a bit about it here: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/08/impressions-invizimals-psp/.
That above is the link to a REAL STORY

pacmanFor the last entire week Ive sort of tried to get more exercise, maintain the weightloss and keep fit for the entire summer. You know how it is.. come early spring we all start working out like crazy, by summer things are good then BAM end of summer you look worse than you did in the beginning.

So anyhow, I’ve been taking long walks early in the morning. I’m up at 5 anyways.
Now I am walking  on a trail and it hits me.. something’s walking behind me.. I look back and nothing is there.

Didn’t really freak me out since there were other people in the park but for some reason my gamer toasted mind thought of PACMAN…
And so this NOT SO ORIGINAL COMIC was born.

re6So here it is! YAY new comic!

I should tell you I had trouble getting some of my software to work properly.. I just love hand drawn stuff too much but not to say I can’t use painter or PS. At the very least now you’ll get clear text and not some messy lazy hand written stuff (that I am  used to doing).

So Enjoy, what I believe is the next setting for the resident evil franchise.  Last week the producer of the series (if I’m not mistaken) talked about how they’re not too sure where the series will head towards.
Since resident Evil 5 seems to tie up most if not all of the lose ends in the series.. everyone’s wondering what new threat will either Chris or Leon face in the next installment.

Happy Monday/Tuesday everyone!
This one is probably long overdue, but you have to understand, I own prototype and so I missed out on this title and all the comic fun that could have been had with it.

I had this idea last week, along with the Assassins Creed comic.

I know it’s not original but hey, wouldn’t it be nice if it actually did happen.. boy! Id like to take some vengeance out on those rabbids.

Today I wanted to give you that escape comic which I doodled while at work. It’s actually based off  the fine people at threePanelSoul.com. I love there comics and well this made my summer last year http://www.threepanelsoul.com/view.php?date=2007-05-07

So it’s a tribute piece of what I’d rather be doing this summer than stuck in an office.

Alright.. had some online troubles but I’m back with another gem… yes..

So the story goes that we saw overlord come out a while ago.. perform rather poorly and all of a sudden about a thousand platforms were covered with its sequel… I mean it’s on every system.

Made me wonder how such a title had gotten the green light. So here is my logic behind it.
Go ahead and try to find another reason why such a title got a sequel.

comic3And now part 2 of my prototyp-o series… again, the game is SOOOOO FUN!! watch for our review!!!

This week, we not only have two comics, but our first colour comic as well!

Basically I’ve been obsessed with Prototype for a little while and decided to pay homage to another game that recently came out. (more…)

comic 3Its been a very busy and unusual week. But Thanks to some much needed inspiration and direction I’ll be making a miniseries based on Prototype. I figured after every 3 to 5 comics ill do something of a change.. in style etc.. just to keep things interesting.

SO PROTOTYPE IS OUT NOW!!! Well it has been as of Tuesday, the 9th of June . The game is really fun and if you were a fan of Hulk Ultimate Destruction, well, you’ll love it.

Available for PS3 and 360.. and PC. You control Alex Mercer.. a strange person who wakes up in a morgue.. finding out the city is fighting some weird virus and you having no memory what so ever, things get even more complicated when you discover you have some pretty insane killer powers.

The main story arc is Alex is trying to remember and figure out his past.. By consuming people.. Literally consuming their minds.. assimilating these people with himself.. quite violent and entertaining. So Ive taken the liberty and made it seem like Alex just consumes their thoughts.. to make the comic sort of G rated.

Enjoy!

Alright let me stress this, I LOVE andPOP.com!! I LOVE THEM!!comic1
E3 came and went and we did not go. Every game writer here knows how dear E3 is to any gamer.
Especially Josh!

We were amazed at this years offerings and cant wait to see these games get released.

Anyhow for the sake of the comic, let’s pretend it’s pre- E3 and this is how things went down.. it only makes it funnier!
And now enjoy my skewed distortion of reality!!!

Anyhow, this is my first attempt, tell us what you think about it, and above all, enjoy!
