lethal alliance psp review

Star Wars tie-in videogames are a dime a dozen. While very few focus on the events of the original and prequel trilogy, most carve out their own piece of land in the ever growing expanded universe. This expanded universe, which isn’t canon by the way, is a great springboard for a videogame. However, for every great game like Star Wars:...

Since the release of Kingdom Hearts 2, rumours surrounding its direct sequel have been abound. We’ve seen spin-offs, prequels and sequels that are merely preparing us- and our Kingdom Hearts heroes- for Kingdom Hearts 3, but no Kingdom Hearts 3 itself. We do know it’s development at the very least, but there is no word on what...

Solidus Snake Speaks! An Interview with John Cygan

by Retroplayer - on Aug 23rd 2011 at 12:03 pm (IST). This post has No Comments

I’ve always been a fan of John Cygan. Johns voice, to me, is one of the most recognizable and best voices in the industry. When growing up I’d refer to him as “that voice” but only up until his role as Canderous Ordo in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic did I seek out the man behind the voice. Since Canderous and I had that unforgettable Star Wars adventure I’ve been a fan of his whether it be in animation, film or videogames. Upon getting in touch with him I was happy to find he wasn’t cold like Solidus or as blunt as Canderous. John Cygan, the man behind “that voice”, was an absolute gentleman and more than happy to chat with me. So, in this interview John talks about his career, Stars Wars, Solidus Snake, his work with Pixar and the motivation behind his work.
