About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'Alida' In Stores NOW

Got Game Entertainment today announced that "Alida" for PC has arrived on retail shelves across North America. In this atmospheric first person 3D graphical adventure game, you must solve the mystery surrounding a missing musician.

The Mac version of the game was released earlier this year. The game was created by Australian musician and artist, Cos Russo, who combined his love music, art and games to create a total sensory experience of clever and thought-provoking puzzles, captivating story and lush graphics, all backed by an entrancing music score.

The adventure begins when you are secretly dropped off on Alida, a guitar-shaped island theme park created by a young and wildly successful band. But when money woes and paranoia set in, the band split up, each claiming different areas of the park where strange and elaborate systems were devised to protect their respective remaining wealth. Each member grows increasingly isolated and all eventually abandon Alida. Several years later the band's manager suggests a reunion on the island. Soon thereafter, band member Arin leaves for Alida and is not heard from again. Now, his wife, Julia, sends you to the island to find her missing husband and bring him home.

"Playing this beautiful and entertaining game you would never believe it was created by just one person," said Howard Horowitz, President of Got Game Entertainment. "With his commitment to quality and detail, Cos Russo has created a game that not only ranks with the big budget adventure releases, but as many critics and fans agree, it surpasses them in many respects."

"Alida" is rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB and retails for $29.99 USD.
