Semester Courses
The Temple London program incorporates 14 weeks of study with a Temple faculty-led course and typically three elective courses. The semester is divided into two phases with an orientation at the start and mid-term break, for a total of 15.5 weeks:
Weeks 1-7: Phase 1 – Academic Courses
The majority of the elective courses listed below will be offered in Phase 1. The Temple faculty-led course, however, will run throughout the whole semester.
Week 8: Mid-Semester Break
Weeks 9-15: Phase 2 – Academic Pathway
Semester students will choose one of two pathways for phase 2: internship or study. Students that choose the internship pathway will begin their internship placements following the mid-semester break. Students that choose the study pathway will begin a new course (or courses) following the mid-semester break.
Each student must enroll in:
- Temple faculty-led course (choose section below)
- 3-4 additional electives and/or internship credit (see below)
Temple Faculty-Led Course
Each Temple student will enroll in a Temple faculty-led course (see below) to help them contextualize their experience in London in a broad, academic manner. This course spans both semester phases and the subject matter varies each semester. You can view course numbers and descriptions below.
Fall 2015
Special Topics: MSP 4390, JOURN 3860 (4 s.h.), or THTR 2210 (3 s.h.)
Technology is an integral part of the media industry today. Bloggers are becoming critical tastemakers and ever involved in all aspects of marketing. Many brands are utilizing blogging as an opportunity to add a human element to their brand and connect with their audience on a deeper level. In this beginner-focused class, students will understand the basics of blogging, including:
– How to set up their blog (WordPress, Blogger, and other platforms will be discussed)
– How to use basic HTML to customize their content
– How to use various creative applications to create content, enhance photography and visuals to optimize the look of their blog
– How to connect with local media to promote and grow their content
– How to get readers to take action
Along with publishing your content via a blog, students will learn how social media is best used to support and spread their content through conversation, community, and connectedness. In the media, we have moved from the one-to- many communication strategy to the many-to-many where everyone can be a producer. Social Media can be extremely powerful when people create content and share it as well as their opinions or experiences online. The most common forms of social media are: social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn), blogs, podcasts, wikis, content communities (Flickr, YouTube, Buzzfeed) and micro blogging (Twitter). Emerging media in mobile and location-based platforms are very influential today (Yelp).
This course will examine the evolution and impact of blogging, social media and emerging technologies on the communication industry in general. Students will explore and apply social media strategies and tools and integrate them into their blog project while in London. Throughout the semester, students will be expected to engage in several hands-on assignments, including keeping up a regular blog (multi-media content will be encouraged).
The students will establish a theme for their blog content and will submit a proposal. This will be used just as a guide for their content throughout the semester. Their blogs will incorporate social media links or feed that support their communication efforts throughout their time in London.
Spring 2016
Special Topics: MSP 4390, JOURN 3860 (4 s.h.), or THTR 2210 (3 s.h.)
When you think of the typical Brit, does Prince William spring to mind? Maybe the Queen or the Beatles? For most people, British means a White face and a lovely accent. But like the United States, the United Kingdom is on a collision course with a more colorful future. London is already there. Since 2011, London's population is officially less than 50 percent White. Still, a White British stereotype persists.In this class we will examine how the "Other" – the "ethnic Brit" – is portrayed in the news media, print media, advertising, television and film. Plus, who qualifies as "Other" in London? What about the Irish or the Scots? We will see if stereotypes are the norm or if a more nuanced portrayal is granted. We will compare British images with American and we will ultimately try to gauge if images of the "Other" truly reflect the current reality. In conjunction with a critical analysis of various British media outlets, we will also engage with the ethnic populations in and around London to hear their concerns of their visibility in the media, as well as to examine the burgeoning ethnic media products being created in print, on-line and on-air by the people themselves.
Electives and Internships
All courses listed below are offered during the fall or spring semesters and students must select their top five choices of the following key courses, internships, and electives in addition to the required Temple faculty-led course (described above). All students must register for a minimum of 12 credits to be eligible for financial aid and to be in compliance with U.K. laws.

Internships usually consist of three full days of each week of unpaid work at professionally relevant British organizations in London. Internships are organized ahead of time on behalf of the student by the Temple partner in London, FIE (Foundation for International Education). Internships are found each semester within a variety of industry areas, such as public relations, marketing, journalism, theater, media and film and television or relevant departments within other companies.

The internship placements, together with classroom seminars and written reflection, form the International Internship Course, or IIC.FIE's Experiential Education Team works with students individually upon admission to the program to match his/her skills and background with an appropriate organization. The Experiential Education Team provides pre-departure and on-site support during the placement and internship process. The IIC seminars allow for discussion, analysis and academic reflection throughout the student's experience.Please note that all student internships are unpaid and are for academic credit only.In order to enhance and contextualize the internship experience, there is an important academic component that runs in conjunction with the placement. The classes (called seminars) aim to provide students with support in order to allow them to develop their understanding of the UK workplace and enable to them to make the most of their experience. The seminars will enable students to work with a faculty member and their peers to reflect upon the experience and exchange ideas.
Students will be assessed on their ability to engage analytically with the internship experience. Students will be required to submit written assignments, deliver a presentation and write a final report that will provide structured expression of student development throughout the process.
By the end of the IIC students should be in a position to:
– Understand general aspects of the UK workplace.
– Have a high degree of understanding of the organization in which they have been interning as well as the sector in which that organization operates.
– Look back and describe and reflect on their internship experience and the ways in which they have developed during the program.
– Reflect on their own performance in the workplace.
– Engage with intercultural issues which have emerged during that experience.
International Service Internship Course: GDC 8089 (3 s.h.)
FIE's Service Internship program pathway is based on three key elements:Preparation
As in any cross-cultural experience, this is crucial. Preparation happens in two stages: orientation to the general environment, and specific exposure to the issues of working and living in the culture. These stages are covered by a general orientation to life in London upon arrival and one of four intensive Key Courses about an aspect of British life, which is undertaken before students enter their placement.International Service Internship Course (ISIC)
The ISIC is comprised of:Placement with a host organization that is working toward social goals and can support the learning objectives inherent in a service internship.
Classroom-based seminars that allow students the opportunity to build on their workplace experience through reflection, discussion and analysis. Seminars address topics such as dealing with expectations, the realities of service internship, global citizenship, social responsibility and intercultural sensitivity.
British History: The Making of Modern Britain from Empire to Contemporary Geopolitics: HIST 3333 (3 s.h.)
It used to be said that the sun never set on the British Empire. Did you know that at its height, Britain had the largest empire in history? How did Britain become the foremost global power for over a century? What impact did this have on British culture? From the defeat of Napoleon and the rise of Imperialism to the World Wars and beyond, students in the course will be exposed to Britain's dramatic past and what this means for her future.
This course introduces students to the main themes of British social history from the Napoleonic Wars to the end of the twentieth century, a period that witnessed the gradual acquisition and rapid dissolution of a global economic and political empire, underwritten by the world's largest navy. Through seminars, lectures and site visits, students will examine the ways in which Britain's global rise and fall affected the politics, culture and day to day lives of ordinary Britons. The course concentrates on the empire and national identity, the industrial revolution and the making of the British working class, the struggle for women's suffrage, the impact of the first and Second World War, and the impact of decolonisation on British society and Britain's status in the world. Past co-curricular activities include: the Imperial War Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, a walking tour of the City of London, and the Cabinet War Rooms.
British Politics: POLS 3212 (3 s.h.)

What role do digital technologies play in modern broadcast? Students in this course will explore the history of British radio and television broadcasting, its role in British society and culture, its global impact, and its place in today's digital world.
The course is built on the idea that broadcasting must exist not only to entertain the public, but to inform and educate as well, British broadcasting to this day remains a lively mix of genres and programs, with extensive influence throughout the world. Students will cover topics such as public service broadcasting, competition in British broadcasting, documentaries and their importance to British cultural identity, the news, current affairs and reality television and broadcasting exports.

It is possible to take this Research Course in Phase I of a semester and then participate in the Internship, Service Learning, or Study Pathway in Phase II.
The very essence of study abroad is that of learning through experience, i.e. learning by doing, observing, and reflecting. The topics that students explore are consistent with their own individual interests but grounded in their experience in London. Topics center on British cultural, historical, political, or contemporary contexts and may have a comparative dimension. At the same time, the qualitative foundation of the course benefits students as they undertake an undergraduate thesis, graduate studies, or as they move into the world of work.

Principles of Marketing: ADV 1004 (3 s.h.)
Isn't marketing just advertising? What's the difference? Does European marketing differ from the rest of the world, especially the USA? What are some of the most successful marketing strategies?People often define "marketing" as advertising – a highly visible activity by which organisations try to persuade consumers to buy products and services. However, marketing is much more than advertising and even the most skillful marketing cannot make consumers buy things that they don't want.Through a European lens, this introductory course prepares students to think strategically about marketing in today's global environment.

How does services branding differ from goods branding?This course introduces, explores and applies a range of strategic brand management issues that drive brand equity and value. Customers are increasingly co-creators of brand value as part of a more interactive and dialectical process. Witness the rise of social media where dialogue, conversation, interaction are the key drivers of brand growth. The days of shouting from a billboard as the primary form of brand marketing are gone. Students will explore issues such as the strategic branding process, consumer perception, brands as social and psychological vehicles, the competitive landscape, and brand evaluation.

Students will consider the processes of writing, aiming to uncover various methods of confronting potential issues. London's own vibrant arts scene and literary traditions form a fascinating focus and locus for the study of creative writing. Class members will engage with local novelists, poets and playwrights through guest lectures and readings.
The literary-steeped surroundings of London provide the perfect backdrop for students to explore their own creative powers. This popular course will provide students with the rare opportunity to develop their own work within the context of contemporary British writing. Although the focus will be on fiction writing, students will also have the opportunity to experiment with various other forms and genres. Classes examining contemporary British literature are complemented by writing workshops.

Travel Writing: MSP 3296, JOURN 3296 (3 s.h. WI)
Understanding Art Through London's Collections: COMM 3082 (3 s.h.)
London houses some of the world's most famous modern artworks and is one of the major international centres for art so where better to tread the pavements of London's artistic collective – the Bloomsbury Group – than in the city they critiqued? Where better to study why Cezanne is considered the 'father of modern art' than by visiting the Courthauld Gallery to discover his painting's that influenced the likes of Matisse and Picasso. And let's not forget that London houses the largest collection of Turners in the world!
Let London become your study canvas to explore the plethora of modern genres housed in its artistic landscape, making weekly visits to museums and galleries where you critically analyse the cross-fertilisation between art and society.
Learn how each era in art reflects society's notion of beauty and challenges its stereotypes; and how today the young British artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin are also commentators, a construct, and an influence on modern society.
Possible co-curricular activities: the Courthauld Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, National Portrait Gallery, the Hayward Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, Serpentine Gallery, Saatchi Gallery.
Fall 2013 student, Mariana Zimmerman, gives students an inside look into what Travel Writing in London is all about! Check it out below.

- the maker
Lynda and Jerry Glass
Lynda and Jerry Glass began their careers doing custom home construction in Mississippi. In 1992, they began making bird houses and selling them on Saturday mornings at small local craft shows. After a few years of small-scale success, they ended their human-oriented business, joined up with Jerry's brother Larry, and began focusing entirely on exquisite, imaginative bird, butterfly and ladybug dwellings.
Lynda and Jerry's team is as talented as they are eclectic. Jerry is primarily responsible for both structural and aesthetic design. James, a woodworker with many years of experience, cuts the precise, tiny boards and other shapes needed, using only select grade yellow cypress harvested following Forest Stewardship Council guidelines and upcycled from local furniture manufacturing leftovers. Bobby Gene hand-applies each unique, stone-washed shingle cut by the special machinery designed in-house for that purpose.
The Heartwood crew create their own boxes from post-consumer fiber reclaimed from local factories. They ship tens of thousands of wooden houses a year, all made without cutting a single tree.

According to Gandolf, "Altogether we'd worked with more than 5,000 practices at previous agencies, so we understood the healthcare market. As a new business, we started by creating a website that truly talked to healthcare marketers and had business coming in almost immediately."
They then grew the business by reaching out to publishers, supplying healthcare marketing articles and web content, and to healthcare-related corporations participating in speaking events for customers.

Spring still hasn't quite released the mute button, and while some folks may be getting impatient, that's not all bad for allergy sufferers.
The tree-pollen season is off to a relatively sluggish start, according to Dr. Donald Dvorin of the Asthma Center, the region's official pollen counter for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.
For example, on Wednesday pollen counts, while still "very high" at 176.8, were about have what they were around the same time last year.
Dvorin estimates that the peak might not come until the first week of May, about a week behind schedule.

Wow! That's so cool to hear that works! I've heard it before, even my pedi told me to try that. But I thought, OK yeah right. But now I'm going to have to try that! Thanks

I'll give those both a try. Right now we've found the TV does lull her to sleep. Well, not just anything. The 2 shows I got hooked on while I was preggo were Psych! and That 70's Show. Its like she recognizes the familiar sounds or something because I'll put on the dvd's and be holding her and she'll get excited. She'll almost be bobbing her head to the theme songs, then smile and fall asleep. She's a lot like me!

Ready to Take Over the World with Tentacles and Pirates!
So I've been working on a few things this week between homework and actually school. I managed to make an actual Purple Tentacle for myself with arms this time. Naughty little guy needs those in order to take over the world.
Also I tried my hand as some freestyle painting - I again used my favorite Purple Tentacle as my subject. It turned out pretty good for a free try. Willing to sell to a good home.
Also I decided to sell Guybrush and Stan from Monkey Island to a good home. I added them to my Etsy store today. They are pre-made and ready to ship out to the first buyer.
Listed here
I hope to finish Dr. Fred and the Green Tentacle this weekend if I have time.
Don't forgot to check out my shop
Pixelated Creations
for all my final items.

Day of the Tentacle Bead Art
Today I finished one more piece in my Day of the Tentacle project - Hoagie.
I have Bernard and Laverne complete and I've made the Purple Tentacle in the past but I have to remake him for myself. I also have to make Dr. Fred and the Green Tentacle in order to have the complete set I want to frame.
I've been putting off this project for a long time but I hope to finish it real soon. The pieces are quite big, so framing will be expensive. I plan on hunting for a nice big frame in a thrift shop and reworking it for these pieces, instead of buying a new one.
Once I'm done with these, I then plan to finish my Monkey Island project and frame that. I have Guybrush and Stan complete so far.

Mario and Peach - Lovers in Bead Art
I finally ironed Peach and Mario and they are pretty much spoken for. I just have to fix them to the background. Not sure what I plan to put on the background canvas but the customer wants a icon from SMB3. I was thinking maybe the castle?
This is a cute controller design I found. I decided to make it in bead form.
I have a customer waiting on Diddy Kong from Donkey Kong Country.
Hope everyone likes these. I wish I had new items for sale but I thought everyone could at least see what I've been working on.

Review: Final Fantasy XIII
I have been a long time fan of Square Enix products since the early days when they were known as Squaresoft and produced amazing games like Final Fantasy VI, Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger. However lately I have felt like the magical goose that once laid the golden eggs has since dried up and can barely produce a normal egg let alone a golden one anymore. I use to anticipate every game that came out of Square Enix�s roster but now I find their games feel broken and rushed.
The best example would be Final Fantasy XIII, the newest instalment in a once amazing franchise which now feels like an once proud show dog which has been over breed and cross breed with any dog that would sleep with it in order to produce various new Final Fantasy prequels, sequels, off-shoots and re-makes. Ultimately though Square Enix has just ended up with a bunch of sick and retarded puppies that no one wants like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles or the new Final Fantasy XIII which they revamped into some strange, overly JRPG tale that barely resembles the FF games we know and love. As the saying goes, ff it ain�t broken then don�t fix it and Final Fantasy X and XII weren�t broken, so why on God�s Green Earth did you stray from the winning formula and come up with this piece of crap?
Basically Final Fantasy XIII (try to keep up with this plot) has you following both Lightening and Sazh who are rushing to save Serah, Lightening�s sister from the fal�Cie who have turned her into an I�Cie. I�Cie are people who are marked with a focus; a vague task they must complete and if they do not complete this task within a certain amount of time, they will turn into crystal statues. Along the way, they pick up various team members, Snow, Vanille and Hope; people will similar ideals who all join in the fight against the fal�Cie. Unfortunately in their fight against the fal�Cie, the team becomes I�Cie too, and must figure out and complete their focus before it is too late. Meanwhile there is also a purge going on of all the local people which is adding to the fun of your surroundings.
If you manage to follow along with the storyline and not get confused beyond belief, then get ready for more boring fun. While past Final Fantasy games tend to give you at least a sense of freedom with an open world map, this game will never show you anything more than one long map to keep running through. You will never find a town to explore full of quaint little people that say the same thing over and over again or find a cute little airship to take over and explore your world. NOTHING, NADA! You are stuck following linear maps for most of the game and if you want to level up in order to handle new higher level enemies then you have to back track to do so. There are some side quests that pop up later on in the game but by this point, you are so use to 2 walls on either side, you really don�t care.
The characters will eventually have to you bashing your head into a wall with their annoying attitudes and even more annoying dialogs. I personally wanted to stab Hope through the eye with a pencil as he whines more than my youngest nephew and he�s a baby � he�s suppose to cry. I found it incredibly hard to believe that this little mommy�s boy was going to help save the world from the fal�cie because he can barely function without his dead Mother. I think the only character I liked was Sazh and his little Chocobo which lives in his afro but he seems the most out of place amongst all these people. He was too normal and too cool to be hanging out in a JRPG story. Overall everything character besides Sazh was either too depressed, angry or upbeat which made the game comparable to a bad anime movie.
Unlike previous Final Fantasy games, you have little control over your team members during battle which makes strategy and preparation very important. Instead of choosing your battle commands before each round during battle, you instead pick battle roles for yourself and team members and then your team members will automatically pick the most proper command for that moment from their list of techniques. Roles include a fighter type, magic type, effects type, protector type and healer type. You will have control over your main character at all times but you will only have access to their current role commands as well as your general item selection and role switch command which is why multiple role combos is important. If you diversify your roles throughout your battle, your party will live longer and kill faster with the use of effects and protector roles.
Each role type has various commands and status upgrades you can unlock with CP points you gain during battle. Upgrades are done through the Crystarium which is very much like the Sphere Grid from Final Fantasy X except that each role for each character has a different Crystarium. You can also upgrade items like weapons and accessories with random item parts you find during battle. You don�t find this out until the 4th Chapter and I had sold most of my parts by this point because the game doesn�t give you a lot of gold. I was mad to find this out so late in the game because parts are hard to find. Maybe if monsters actually dropped gold like in previous games I wouldn�t have sold the parts though.
I honestly think the only reason I kept playing this game is to find out if the storyline gets any better because I wasn�t happy with anything in this game beside the usual amazing graphics and sound. Square Enix does always make pretty games and I was blown away with the great use of contrast with Cocoon�s perfect crystal world and Pulse�s junky and grungy surface world. The characters continue to look more and more like real human beings with every new game.
Created by Masashi Hamauzu who also scored Dirge of Cereberus, Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack features a song from Leona Lewis, �My Hands� and it is quite beautiful. I don�t think anything will be quite as cool as the Final Fantasy X-2 soundtrack which I still groove in my car to but I think overall this soundtrack is tranquil and franchise worthy.
2 years is a long time to wait for a disappointment and now all I can think about is Kingdom Hearts 3 and how they could screw that up too. Considering what a bastard child Kingdom Heart: 358/2 days was it is a possibly. I hate to be cruel to a company whom I loved and relied on for so long for awesome games but they just have to learn to stop messing around with their bread and butter franchises. Final Fantasy wasn�t broken so why in God�s name did you try change it? I want my good game company back!

Back with More Pixelated Creations
I haven't post any of my art in a long time and I thought today would be good as any. I've been experimenting with a lot of pixel art pieces from this site -
Card Gallery Tales
. And while I think the pieces look amazing, nothing has sold yet in my store. Boo.
Link and Navi
Prince from Katamari Damacy
I have also been making new items for customers like Ghost Pirate LeChuck from Monkey Island 1 and Kratos. LeChuck glows in the dark.
Ghost Pirate LeChuck
I also created some new tiny key chains in the form of a Gameboy, Super Nintendo controller and Joystick.
Gameboy Key Chain
Joystick Key Chain
Super Nintendo Key Chain
Finally I made purple tentacle from Maniac Mansion.
Purple Tentacle
Some of these items are available in my store,
Pixelated Creations
right now but others have a bigger destiny like Spiderman or Link for example. I plan to make a bigger art piece with them which includes a friend or two. But custom requests are always available, so don't hesitate to ask for items if you don't see them listed.

Best Day Ever - Interview with Bruce Campbell
I take back everything bad I ever said about Bruce Campbell as he does keep his word - he just takes a long time to fulfill it.
Finally after a long wait, I have my interview with Bruce Campbell and here's you will find it over at
The Girl Gamer.net
. We talk Evil Dead 4, Twitter, World of Warcraft: the Movie and more.
As a writer and fan of Bruce Campbell, this is probably the ultimate story for me - I couldn't be any happier today, so if I die in a car crash on the way to my mom's house this day - note that I died happy.

May I Sell You a Bruce?
[UPDATED] So I still have a few items that didn't sell if anyone is still interested:
I have a 15 issue collection of Army of Darkness comics for $20.00 plus shipping.
An Evil Dead 4 issue collection for $10.00.
An Army of Darkness/Xena comic 4 issue collection for $10.00.
And finally an Autolycus figure - mint in box for $10.00.
Let me know if you are interested.
[email protected]
[email protected]
I probably should have posted this a little early but I thought my auctions were going to do better on their own. Believe or not, I'm selling most of my Bruce Campbell collection on eBay - an incident with Mr. Campbell himself has caused me to rid my home of all the major Bruce items as I no longer wish to dedicate my life to worshiping an asshole celebrity that has no time for his fans.
So right now (10:13am EST), I have about 5 hours left on my auctions and some items don't even have bids yet, so please if any one is fan - check out the auctions.
I have action figures for sale from Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-tep, Xena, etc. - both big and small
I'm selling the Ash Hero Doll.
I have film cells from Army of Darkness for sale that are framed and mounted.
I have a huge comic book collection for sale - Marvel Zombies, Army of Darkness, Jason vs Freddy vs Ash, Evil Dead, Xena vs Army of Darkness, My Name is Bruce, etc.
All at decent below the original purchase prices, cause honestly I just want them out of my house. If they don't sell on eBay, I will be offering them up privately so if you miss them on eBay and see that they don't sell, then PM me or email me @
[email protected]
Check out the auction here.

Faith's Top Ten Best Games of 2009
10. Resident Evil 5
I couldn�t start my list without included one of my favourite franchises, Resident Evil. Resident Evil 5 brought back favourites like Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker as well as introducing a few new characters and enemies. Resident Evil started our video game love affair with zombies and it will always be as addictive as the T-Virus is infectious. I plan to check out The Darkside Chronicles on the Nintendo Wii very soon.
9. Ghostbusters: the Video Game
This has been a good year for fan boys in the video game industry and Ghostbusters was just one game to proof that fact. Picking up where the 2nd movie left off, the excellent story line will bring you back into the world of the Ghostbusters as if you never left, and the excellent voice-over work of the original movie cast and funny humour of Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis doesn�t the nostalgia factor either.
8. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
Who knew all my knowledge of logic puzzles would finally pay off in video games? Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, the sequel to the highly cool Professor Layton and the Curious Village, will have you using brain cells you didn�t know you had in order to solve all its many logic puzzles and dark mysteries. Only Nintendo could make learning this fun and addicting. Kudos to the Professor and his assistant on another excellent game and hopefully we�ll see another one of your sequels come to our shores next year.
7. Ratchet and Clank Future: Crack in Time
This was truly a year of new game experiences for me and one of those experiences was my first real Ratchet and Clank game. So many franchises don�t survive to see their next generation of consoles or if they do, they live on a series of failed titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, but Ratchet and Clank is now on their 3rd generation console and they are still rocking the platforming genre. You�ll love this dynamic duo and their crazy arsenal of weapons and gadgets. Bonus points for the awesome weapons commercials shown in the game.
6. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Like a blast from the past, the New Super Mario Bros. Wii is like playing Super Mario Bros. 3 all over again with a shiny new coat of paint. With a new power-up suits and multiplayer modes, it�s time venture forth into the Mushroom Kingdom with the brothers and save the Princess again. Hopefully she�s not in another castle this time.
5. Halo 3: ODST � Xbox 360
I have to give high props to the first Halo FPS that managed to grab my attention. Halo 3: ODST�s film noir style story line and all-star voice cast made this a fabulous game to kill a Sunday afternoon with. Sure, the campaign mode might be short but you�ll have Firefight mode afterwards to fill the void as well as the second disc full of Halo 3 multiplayer maps if you don�t already own them all. I plan to go back and finish the fight this winter with the first 3 Halo games now that this game has shown me what I�ve been missing.
4. Borderlands � Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC
Imagine Fallout 3 � take out all the extreme walking times between missions, add a 4 player co-op mode and injected some wicked humour and you have Borderlands. This futuristic Mad Max like role-playing game will have you and your friends addicted to its vast landscapes, cool weapons and freaky looking enemies. Fallout 3�s vault will be a thing of the past and Pandora�s legendary vault will be all you can think about all.
3. Batman: Arkham Asylum � Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC
Batman: Arkham Asylum couldn�t have been a more perfect Batman video game and it was hard not to put this game higher on the list after all the crappy games we Batman fans have suffered through over the years, but honestly I can�t let my fan girl love of the Dark Knight affect my decisions. While Batman: Arkham Asylum did sport one of the best storyline lines, amazing game play and one of the best voice-over casts possible, the short ending, crappy Riddler reward and a few other issues kept this game at the number 3 spot.
2. Assassin�s Creed 2 � Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC
From the breath-taking digital recreation of Renaissance Italy to Ezio�s amazing killer moves, Assassin�s Creed will have you loving every minute of this sequel to the Assassin�s Creed franchise. You will be drawn into the story line here and once that�s complete, the side quests and item collection will keep the major perfectionists out there busy. This was an amazing follow-up to Assassin�s Creed which only improved upon the franchise and I can�t wait to check out the first DLC in February.
1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Playstation 3
If you need a reason to purchase a Playstation 3, this Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is it. Heart stopping action, eye popping graphics and interactive game play unlike anything I�ve ever seen. The developers at Naughty Dog have set the bar high for what games should be � interactive Hollywood blockbusters. While this was an amazing year for games, Uncharted 2 is still the clear winner in my mind as the game�s amazing musical score still tugs at my heart strings and the graphics still blow my mind every time I see them. When my brother-in-law bought his Playstation 3 on Boxing Day this year, this was the first game suggestion that popped out of my mouth as would it be to anyone buying the console.
Honourable Mentions: Loco Roco 2, Patapon 2, Little King�s Story and Boom Blox Bash Party.
Best Downloadable Games of the Year
1. Tales of Monkey Island: All Episodes � PC Game, Wiiware
2. Plants vs. Zombies � PC Game
3. Axel & Pixel � Xbox 360
4. Machinarium � PC Game
5. Shadow Complex � Xbox 360
Honourable Mention: Farmville

Baby Mario and Luigi Frames - Handmade Gifts Rule!
I'm a little strapped for cash this Christmas, so instead of spending a lot of dough on a ton of store bought presents, I'm making a lot of my gifts instead.
For example, I made these picture frames for my sister. My nephew, Evan is a big gamer and loves Mario games, so I decided it would be cool to make gamer themed picture frames with his name and my other nephew's name, Logan. I figure both my sister and Evan would enjoy them.
I used Baby Mario and Luigi sprites for the themes and customized the frames with their names. The Mario frame is about 2 rows of beads too small to cover the whole frame so I'll have to paint the frame to hide it or add on some beads somehow. Or I just might keep the bad one for me and make a new one for my sister.
With these designs in mind, I plan to make baby shower frames for my store too. A Mario frame for boys and Peach frame for girls. People can customize them with the baby to be's name or I can just make them with It's a Boy or It's a Girl on them.
Demos of those ideas to soon follow.
Also I'm still taking Christmas orders at
Pixelated Creations
, but I need people to get them in as soon as possible or I won't have them done in time for Christmas. Email me for custom orders -

New York—Sure there's unease about what a U.S. government shutdown might mean to the economy. But unemployment dropped to its lowest level since December 2008 last month and housing prices have grown 15% since last year.
Those factors as well as some pent up demand should result in better holiday sales this year. That's what the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) forecast today.
Prices, Margins to Remain Stable
Coming in between Deloitte's forecast for at least a 4% hike in holiday sales and ShopperTrak which predicted a 2.4% increase, ICSC is looking for a 3.5% increase in November-December holiday season, even though retailers are expecting a more modest spending season. In 2012, November-December sales rose 3% (excluding cars, food and beverage sales), ICSC reported.
ICSC noted that there should be less discounting this season with lean inventories, "lessened drag from economy and policy issues." Plus wealth effect improvements due to rising housing and stock markets as well as strong online spending gains.
Additionally, ICSC anticipates that the other two measures of U.S. industry holiday sales—shopping-center "inclined sales" are estimated to rise 3.4%. and chain store sales should increase 2%.
"We're going to see a more subdued spending mood from consumers, but what counts is that we're on track to have a better holiday sales season that last year," said Michael P. Niemira, vice president of research and chief economist for ICSC. "With leaner inventories, retailers can expect their prices and margins to remain stable, which is another good indicator of stronger sales."
Moreover, there will be an increase in holiday hiring that is "highly correlated" with holiday spending: a 0.5% increase in seasonal hires from last year.
About ICSC
Founded in 1957, ICSC is the premier global trade association of the shopping center industry. Its more than 60,000 members in more than countries include shopping center owners, developers, managers, marketing specialists, investors, retailers and brokers, as well as academics and public officials. As the global industry trade association, ICSC links with more than 25 national and regional shopping center councils throughout the world. www.icsc.org.
