Okay, to start with a clean slate, I'll update on the games I mentioned I was playing before. I completed Vigilante 8 Arcade and got all the achievements except one for 10 victories in online play because no one is online. Once again, screw all the negative review scores, this is a lot of fun and plays just as good as the originals. The lack of content is disappointing but the controls are better than the original. Plus you have the option to go back to the original controls in case you don't like the new ones. At $5 or 400 MSP, it's an easy buy. I also finished Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and I really enjoyed it. It isn't a deep game and it was rather short at seven hours or so but if you like the Prince of Persia series, this is an easy buy. The final boss fight is also really awesome with some impressive set pieces and graphical effects. The ending is disappointing but I didn't really expect much. This game is better as enjoying what you're currently doing rather than what you're working towards. I also completed the Fable III DLC and basically, I can't really recommend it. It's too much for what you're getting, which is about two to three hours of content (that's both DLCs combined) and some extra achievements that you may not get because its glitched. Seriously, I should have 60 more points than I do right now.

Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two has already been revealed to be coming to the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 but now add PC and Mac to that list. Publisher Disney Interactive Studios confirmed with Game Informer that there will be a PC/Mac hybrid version of the game.

The recent announcements about Epic Mickey 2 and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion has gotten me reminiscing about when Disney had good games being released. Oddly enough, this reminded me of something else from my childhood that I rarely think of. When I was little, for some reason, I was always being babysat. I wasn't a latch key child per se but since both my mothers worked, after school, I was picked up by a babysitter and I stayed at their house until one of my mother's came to take me home. There were various caretakers throughout my childhood but one of them I remember because she had like twenty some games that I had never heard of.

UPDATE: The game will be a sequel to the Sega Genesis title Castle of Illusion and will feature drawing items and weapons with the stylus. Levels will consist of classic Disney cartoons and movies as well as recent releases such as Tangled. The original story as posted on March 26, 2012 is as follows.

This week's PB & Jason sees Jason's weigh in on thatgamecompany's latest title, Journey. Also featured? Discussion about the lowest review for the game currently posted to metacritic, as well as discussion of the comments left behind on said review. Once the topic of Journey is exhausted, PB & Jason moves into epic territory with talk about the latest official announcement that Epic Mickey 2 is in development! The podcast wraps up with a couple of minutes spent on Mass Effect 3's ending (again) and Dragon Quest VIII's changes to the franchise, for better or for worse. Click through to find the download, subscription, and listening links.

The decision to make Epic Mickey’s characters silent was a deliberate one.  Warren Spector created the unique Disney adventure game on the Wii as a homage to the silent cartoons that served as his inspiration. This decision, for better or worse, will not be repeated in the recently announced sequel now officially called Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.  Not only will the characters be voiced, but they will sing and dance as this next game is considered a musical.

Listen to this week's (best ever issue) of PB & Jason and find all you could ever want to hear about my thoughts of a sequel to Disney Epic Mickey. Spoiler alert: This is one 2012 release I'm not at all excited about.

According to the following Disney newsletter, Disney Epic Mickey 2 is on the way for the Wii, as well as its HD contemporaries, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3:

Please note, contents of the celebration issue will be remarkably similar to the contents found inside any other PB & Jason, brief retrospection notwithstanding.
