Gameplayer has gone live with with a review of the controversial Giana Sisters game on DS. Originally it was sued by Nintendo some 22 years ago, but now it is back.
Rise of the Owlverlord is an expansion that continues the story told in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams using – you guessed it – owls. These owls appear from the very beginning, bringing Giana to an Alice in Wonderland-esque world with amazingly detailed backgrounds, and come in many different, often unnatural, colors, and other creatures like snails, spiders, and demons join as enemies.
"This week I have scooped up five trailers that debuted roughly within the last week. Two platformer’s trailers compete for the pick-of-the-week, The Iconoclasts and Giana Sisters both feature bright colors and catchy soundtracks, but do they have enough to defeat Ravaged and it’s post apocalyptic launch trailer? Then there is Montas‘ and Hotline Miami’s trailers to contend with, or should we even consider Hotline Miami’s cinematic trailer on the same playing field? Heck, should we even consider Montas’ seven minute trailer, a trailer at all?" - Tom Christiansen
WhiteShadow: "Only one week left for Black Forest Games’ Project Giana Kickstarter campaign. Project Giana celebrates the classic Great Giana Sisters on their 25th anniversary by recreating the ethereal dream world and making it available for PC, XBLA, and PSN later this year."
