So I chose the "Sacrifice" ending, kinda annoyed 'bout my family being killed off but not as much as my dog, but I figure i'll just get the DLC and get him back. It bugs me though that I didn't pick the "Love" ending because I hear Rose's letter was really heart wrenching, ( Can anyone post all of what she said?). It does suck that you don't get to see Rose, that would have been totally worth it, but maybe you find out about her in the DLC? They do say you tie up loose ends from the story, after all.

    After the rocky start of the first episode, HAWP, seems to make a huge turn around with this episode based on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Partly what made this episode allot better was that Anthony, steps out of the way, and is absent for most of the episode, and just let's Ashly go nuts and acts like her quirky self in front of the camera.

((((Spoilers))))

   After the introduction, we see Ashly playing Epona's song on the Ocarina and the way she sing it and adds her own lyrics to the song is hilarious. Most of the episode is Ashly making weird sounds and a completely random and unnecessary rapping that pops up half way through the episode could have been left out. Another hallmark in the series is a short, couple of second, end of the credits video and this episode has one of the longest. It's Ashly and Anthony re-enacting a scene from Iron Man, that was kind of meh.

    Over all, the episode was a major improvement over the first one, although not the greatest episode either, it still showed that the two were starting to pick up momentum and became allot more inspired in this episode.

Score: 8.4

    HAWP (Hey Ashly, what playing?) is a web-series featuring Ashly Burch and her brother Anthony. It has reached a degree of success by being featured on he Gametrailers web-site and the duo produce around two episodes per month. It's been a little over a year since they've gotten started and this is one of many reviews of their show, so I decided to start with their very first HAWP, but judging by their first episode, they didn't exactly hit the ground running.

(((( Spoilers))))

    Each episode consists of the two being inspired to do a episode based on or inspired about a game and their very first one: Ikaruga. In the first episode we are introduced to the intro that will be a staple in their series that they rarely break from. Having Anthony walk up behind Ashly, who's sitting on a chair playing a game, and asking her what she's playing. After asking Ashly, the two talk about the game a bit, until Ashly, randomly squirts Anthony with a squirt gun full of milk. Anthony's reaction is priceless and he plays it off perfectly, but it's not like we haven't seen this kind of thing before. Anthony, goes to change his shirt, only to be greeted by Ashly who squirts him, with yet another squirt gun, and when Anthony asks: "What is that? Choclate milk?" Ashly replies: "Some of it." and the camera shows a quick shot of her in black camo.

    The Episode wasn't particularly great, it just didn't show off enough of what Ashly and Anthony Burch are capable of creatively. So the series may have gotten off to a rocky start, but the duo would go on to create some memorable episodes, this one just won't be one of them.

Score: 5.3
 

    Lionhead is set to unveil a brand new IP that they have been working on, now my first thought races back to 2003/04 when Peter Molyneux was doing an interview for G4TV, promoting Fable: Lost Chapters, and he was asked what his next project was an he said something along the lines of: "A game where you can relieve moments from your past." So, maybe that game is finally showing it's head or it died before it even got a head start? Or I'm just pissing in the wind. lol
