Immerse yourself in this unique collection, presented in the form of an old grimoire, which will delight all adventure lovers to finally discover the fabulous legend of Zelda!EXTRACTIn the kingdom of Hyrule, a legend has been passed down since the beginning of time: A mysterious artifact known as the Triforce, symbolized by three golden triangles arranged to form a fourth triangle, is said to possess mystical powers. It is hardly surprising that this object has been coveted by many power-hungry men over the centuries. One day, the evil Ganon, the Prince of Darkness whose ambition is to subjugate the entire world to his will, sends his armies to attack the peaceful kingdom. He manages to capture one of the fragments of the Triforce, the triangle of power. Daughter of the king of Hyrule, Princess Zelda is terrified at the prospect of seeing Ganon's armies swarming over the world. She, too, seizes a fragment of the Triforce, the triangle of wisdom, and chooses to break it into eight pieces, which she then scatters across the world, hiding them to prevent Ganon from ever acquiring them. She then orders her faithful nursemaid Impa to go forth and seek a warrior brave enough to challenge Ganon. As Impa roams the kingdom of Hyrule in the hope of finding a savior, Ganon learns of Zelda's plans and has her locked up before sending his men to track down the nursemaid. Surrounded by these ruthless creatures, Impa is saved by a young boy named Link at the very moment when it appears that all is lost. As unbelievable as it may seem, Link has been chosen by the golden triangle of courage, and thus holds a part of the Triforce himself. Convinced that she has finally found the one who will save the kingdom, Impa hurries to tell him her story. Link accepts his mission to rescue Zelda without hesitation. Before confronting Ganon, however, he will have to gather the eight fragments of the triangle of wisdom, which are his only hope of gaining entry to the dungeon deep beneath Death Mountain where the Prince of Darkness hides. His quest has only just begun.

Resident Evil : des zombies et des hommes

Bioshock ; de rapture à Columbia

Ce livre est une célébration de tous ces titres qui ont changé nos vies de joueurs. Il est des jeux qui provoquent des tournants dans l'industrie vidéoludique et d'autres, plus modestes, qui marquent, eux, la vie des joueurs. Ceux dont le souvenir impérissable s'avère à la hauteur de la qualité de l'aventure et qui règnent au panthéon des incontournables. De Eternal Darkness à Digital Devil Saga, en passant par Beyond Good & Evil, ces jeux ont su innover en proposant ce "petit plus" grâce auquel ils se sont forgé une place de choix dans le coeur des joueurs - qu'il s'agisse de l'utilisation de la musique dans Rez, du ton adulte de Fear Effect, ou encore de l'effervescence du monde onirique de Hillys dans Beyond Good & Evil. En s'attardant sur la création de ces oeuvres, sur l'écriture et l'élaboration de leurs univers et sur le décryptage des aspects qui les rendent uniques, le livre Ludothèque : Les classiques du rétrogaming vous permet de plonger au coeur de ces jeux pour en extirper la sève.

Ludothèque - Les classiques du retrogaming

Cet ouvrage est la réédition augmentée de l'ouvrage des mêmes auteurs paru il y a quelques années, déjà chez Third Editions. Cette nouvelle édition inclut le 3e volet de la saga de jeux vidéo Bioshock : Bioshock Infinite.Description de l'ouvrage telle qu'elle figure sur le site de l'éditeur :"En seulement trois épisodes, la saga des BioShock a su se faire une place de choix dans le cœur des joueurs. Jeux aux contextes si particuliers et à l’atmosphère exceptionnelle, les deux premiers volets prennent place dans la cité sous-marine de Rapture. Baignant dans l’ambiance des années cinquante et teintée d’Art déco, la progression du joueur repose sur un système de jeu ouvert et intelligent, qui incite à faire preuve de créativité et à utiliser à bon escient les ressources offertes par l’environnement. Troisième volet, BioShock Infinite nous invite, lui, à découvrir la ville aérienne de Columbia dans un 1912 uchronique et steampunk à souhait."
