Riff Table Arcade (Episode 12) - Former Castlevania Developer Leaves Konami
After another long absence, the Riff Table Arcade is finally back! RRPG and Jeff join together to discuss that the main who inspired the Metroid-style of gameplay within the Castlevania series, Koji "IGA" Igarashi has left Konami to form his own independent game studio. We discuss this matter as well as reminiscing about the series with our most and least favorite entries as well as discussing possible futures for the series. Join us as we feel the fight against Count Dracula may see a future that is for the better or worst! Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Straight Forward Reviews : Eternal Warrior # 6
Gilad's life on the shambles of what used to be modern civilization with his granddaughter continues. What does he run into on this very different Earth this time?
Writer - Greg Pak
Artist - Robert Gill
Publisher - Valiant
Review by Jeremias de Leon
Story
Gilad The Eternal Warrior is out on a journey with his granddaugter after some disastrous events occurred to the village he was ruling as a benign leader. During his wandering he runs into a village run by some power hungry thug who has enslaved many people.
Gilad wants to help, and being the Eternal Warrior, takes action to do just that and through his fighting learns that the situation is much deeper than he thought at first.
The dialog is short and to the point with a lot of Gilad's personality showing through. It's quite different than it is in the other Valiant books taking place in modern times. It seems to show that he isn't afraid to show he cares, especially for his granddaughter.
Art
The art is bloody and magnificent. For a book that takes place in a future where one needs to be strong and
brutal the art does a good job of showing that especially of course in the action scenes.
It also does a good job of balancing the brutality with art that shows compassion as well especially with Gilad toward his granddaughter. Also, Gilad's character design embodies this balance best. He has features of a kindly old man but the muscles and armor also show he isn't one to push.
Verdict
Eternal Warrior does a fine job of telling a story where things are certainly fairly grim but that also have a spark of hope to it. The art looks great and the action scenes definitely make it a fun read. There are some things that definitely remind me perhaps a little too strongly of Pak's earlier work Planet Hulk and on the classic post apocalyptic anime Fist of the North Star. But that may actually be a reason to buy it so it's not something I can really knock it for. I give Eternal Warrior # 6 a 9 out of 10.

Straight Forward Reviews: Ghost Town # 2
Here's another edition of Straight Forward Reviews. This time I'm looking at the second issue of Action Lab Danger Zone's Ghost Town. Like with Jirni I had also read issue 1 and was ready to review it. Anyway I guess better late than never.

Story
This issue goes into the lives of the people affected by the actions taken by the terrorists from the 1st issue. The writing is fantastic, especially the dialog. It goes into different characters lives and each of them act and speak like believable humans.

The messenger boy and the drug lord have different stories and are affected by the events that turned D.C into a ghost town differently. But both are totally engaging. Not only are they engaging but they're interesting since they're both very different kinds of people. One is someone who's trying to help people and of course the other being a criminal is robbing stores and the like. Seeing the two stories side by side really opens up the narrative and lets you see the world of Ghost Town for what it is, and not just as one person sees it.
Art
The art is well done. It's a bit of a mix between cartoon like art and a more detailed painting. Considering the story where it's set in Washington D.C and everything is more or less realistic but with some science fiction elements like time travel the art style does a perfect job of reflecting the story.
Verdict
This is a great story about intriguing characters and a clever time traveling idea. No super heroes, no outlandish action sequences (there is good action still though) and no thin storytelling. It's well paced,and well written. You will get sucked into it I'm sure. This is a fine example of good storytelling. Pick this up and tell all your friends to do the same. Or rather pick the 1st issue and this up and tell your friends. You'll kick yourself for missing this story. I give Ghost Town issue 2 a 9 out of 10.
