Comic: Stand Lee's Alexa

Stan Lee is coming out with a new comic called Alexa.

“The series deals with a comic book company trying to get the story rights to the lives of two twenty-foot-tall superhero giants who suddenly appear from a rift between dimensions. Alexa works for the comic book company and begins to wonder: are they really superheroes, or something far deadlier? Also, what is the mystic bond between her and the mysterious giants from another realm? It goes from there.”

It looks interesting and hope it will work out.

PSP: Metal Fear Acid update

Yahoo games has a preview of this game which is going to be one of the lunch titles for the PSP in North America. They seem to like this game alot because of the new twist, using cards to control the actions of Snake.



I must admit, I'm not sure if I'm going to like this game. I like Metal Gear's world and gameplay but using cards to control Snake might not be as fun as it could be. I would've loved to have a game like the ones on Playstation, real-time combat.



I have to admit, the images are really nice. :)
