This Tuesday (tomorrow) will be the occurrence of a freaky eclipse: it’s the release date for ‘BioShock’, ‘House: Season Three’ and ‘Jumper: Griffin’s Story’.
‘BioShock’ is a retro-shooter taking place in an underwater ‘paradise’. The player has access to old-fashioned (1960′s) weapons, as well as genetic modifiers that give telekinetic powers, such as the always-useful power to set stuff on fire. The demo is pretty good, even if parts of it are long cut-scenes that can’t be skipped.
‘House: Season Three’ is just that, the third season of ‘House’. Some of those episodes I’ve only seen once. A crime against humanity!
‘Jumper: Griffin’s Story’ is a prequel of sorts to ‘Jumper’ and ‘Reflex’. The book is about Griffin, a ‘jumper’ like Davy, but with a different upbringing and a distinct outlook on the teleportation angle. The book ties in with the upcoming movie, so I expect that it will cover in detail this mysterious Paladin organization. By far the most exciting, for me, concept about the novel is that Griffin takes a more offensive approach to being a ‘jumper’, going as far as establishing a hidden base of operations in the Sahara Desert. How cool is that?!
