The role-playing adventure for Xbox 360 and PS3 was inspired by author George R. R. Martin's bestselling "A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy series.
George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series is one of the hottest media properties out there. With five books (plus a sixth being written and a seventh planned) and the white hot Emmy-winning HBO adaptation Game of Thrones in its second season, its popularity shows little sign of waning. With a superb setting, great characters, and lots of fantasy tropes to borrow from, adapting Martin's worlds and unique storytelling style to a role-playing video game seems like a no-brainer. Teaming with both Japanese game publisher Atlus and Martin himself to do so makes that decision even smarter. Atlus brings a wealth of RPG experience to the table; Martin ensures that the game retains the feel of his books and makes sure everything …

'Like Any Normal Day' explores how the Mileys coped with a life-altering football accident and the decision one man made to help his older brother carry out his final wish.
Eight years. That's how long Jimmy Miley held in the story about what happened in 1997. He tried talking to his family about it the day after, but they didn't want to hear it. So, Miley kept his head down and laid low until 2005, when he began hanging around Five Ponds golf course and telling pieces of the story to the workers there. Miley was afraid of the reaction when he told people that he took his brother, Buddy, to Michigan and met Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who helped Buddy end his life. "The guys at the golf course were really supportive when I told them," said Miley. "That helped me a lot. I was afraid to go to church with my mom, because of what I helped my brother do." Miley began opening up just at the right time, because it wasn't …

Local musicians are invited to check out Rabbit Stone Studio, located in the basement of Connor Lepre's home in Warminster.
It used to be, that if you were a serious musician and wanted your music to hit the masses, certain things had to happen first. You needed to get a band together, record a demo, get a contract with a label, maybe hire a manager, play late night shows in underground clubs or bars, go on long road trips to get word of mouth to grow, etc. With the continued availability of online file sharing, that process is changing dramatically. The filter created by labels deciding what is and is not "marketable" is disappearing, evidenced by the viral popularity of artists such as Lana Del Rey and Karmin. Members of the old guard are naturally resisting the shift, but the success of up-and-comers like Connor Lepre depends on their embrace and mastery of …

The saga of Alex Mercer and the Blacklight virus continues in the Prototype sequel, but with an interesting twist.
In 2009, two very similar games were released within weeks of each other to positive reception from critics and gamers alike. PS3-exclusive inFamous had a hero named Cole MacGrath in a fictionalized version of New York City get imbued with electricity-based powers after an “event” wreaked destruction and havoc in the city, and it provided the choice to be good or evil. The multiplatform Prototype had test subject Alex Mercer possess extraordinary powers after being subjected to a virus, and he then set out across Manhattan to learn the whole truth about what happened to him. While Prototype clearly had the superior story, inFamous’ tighter controls made it the better overall game. And while inFamous 2 came out last year, Protoype 2 is just…
