    Video game technology has gotten advanced enough in the past few years that just about any scenario can be simulated on current-generation platforms.

    Octopus Pie: There Are No Stars In Brooklyn- The first printed collection of the popular webcomic series, this dense collection puts together the first two years worth of stories. Great sense of humor, a solid sense of characterization, and fun fluid art make this something definitely worth picking up. Fans of Scott Pilgrim, North World, and just anything fun should check this out. Check out Meredith Gran’s site if you want to sample it, but try to help support the release of the book. Considering it’s only $17 for 252 pages, it’s a great package and Villard books did a nice printing job. A
