“I’m absolutely thrilled and proud to come back to the magical and evocative world of Syberia for the third time. It is very personal to me since the story touches, in many places, the history of my own family. The amazing Benoît Sokal and the Microids team crafted a masterfully written story which I was so taken by, and the music came out from my deepest emotions. I really hope that my music will emotionally move the players as much as I felt when I was introduced to Syberia: The World Before.”

World acclaimed pianist Emily Bear, 20, is featured on the Syberia album and took part in the interview. A Grammy nominated, award-winning composer and recording artist since her professional debut at age five, Bear has achieved groundbreaking success as a pianist, composer, producer and singer-songwriter.

I've been an avid gamer since I stumbled upon ZORK running in my local Radio Shack in 1980. Ten years later I was working for Sierra Online. Since then I've owned nearly every game system and most of the games to go with them. Not sure if 40+ years of gaming qualifies me to write reviews, but I do it anyway.
