ICO: Castle in the Mist is a novel written by Miyuki Miyabe, one of Japan’s most popular and best-selling authors. Inspired by the cult video game Ico (an award-winning PlayStation 2 game released in 2001/2002, now remastered in HD for PlayStation 3), the story was originally printed between May 2002 to May 2003 as instalments in Shūkan Gendai, a Japanese weekly current affairs magazine. It was recently translated into English by Viz Media and released in North America on the 16th of August 2011, before being distributed in the UK by Simon & Schuster from the 15th of September 2011.

Jurassic Park: The Game is an episodic, downloadable video game developed by Telltale Games. It takes players back to Isla Nublar – the site of Jurassic Park – during and immediately after the events of the first film. Dennis Nedry’s lost Barbasol shaving-cream can and the embryos contained within once again become a major plot point as brand new characters and existing secondary ones struggle to escape the infamous dinosaur-infested island. Although the PC version (digital download) was released on the 15th of November 2011 along with the US PlayStation 3 version, the EU PlayStation 3 version (available now via the PlayStation Network) wasn’t released until mid-December 2011.
