Video Game & Comic Book of the Week

VIDEO GAME OF THE WEEK

The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

 Skyward Sword is the latest game in The Legend of Zelda Series!  Many critics have said that they feel like this game is very ground breaking and is considered (if not the best) then one of the best!

Master, there is an 80% chance that I'm stupid
and a 20% chance that I'm also dumb.

They added a few new elements in this game that have never been seen before in a Zelda game.  For instance, you can now upgrade just about all of your items and you ride a giant bird!  But that's not all!  Link can now sprint and he can jump!  Never before has Link been able to jump onto small surfaces.  However, not everything has changed in this game.  Link still has to go get his sword from some master, Zelda flirts with Link like crazy, and Link has an annoying side kick that states the obvious.  I seriously think that Fi is a lot more annoying than Navi ever was!  That's saying something.

I love playing this game.  It is a ton of fun and more.  I just wish I could skip the Lanyru Mining Facility level...

COMIC BOOK OF THE WEEK

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #121

For those of you who don't know, Amazing Spider-Man #121 and #122 was a huge part in not just Spider-Man's life but in the world of comic books as well.  Throughout Peter Parker's early career of being the web slinger, he fell in love with a beautiful girl named Gwen Stacy.  This girl came way before Mary Jane was Peter's love interest.  Comic book readers also fell in love with the character of Gwen Stacy as well.  She was just awesome.  But then tragedy struck.  In the story arc "The Night Gwen Stacy Died" (Amazing Spider-Man #121-122) Gwen Stacy dies, obviously.  Spider-Man tried to save her, but his web snapped causing her to drop to her death.

This was a very shocking and crucial point in comic book history.  What makes it even more powerful is that Gwen Stacy never comes back from the dead (unlike every other comic book character), that is unless you count the Clone Saga but that's not really her...it's a clone.  Even that clone doesn't last anyway.  There is a saying that goes "The only person that dies in comic books is Gwen Stacy."
