Batman Arkham Asylum was, to say the least, a surprise smash hit, earning a lot of Game of the Year praise in 2009. Comic book games have a spotty history, particularly outside of the arcade, and Batman games in the past never strayed from that trend with many of them being downright awful. Arkham Asylum combined stealth along with action-adventure elements, true to the Dark Knight’s style. The story was quality (thanks to veteran writer … Continue reading

Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition Just like they did with ME2 there will be a N7 collectors edition for Mass Effect 3 and it comes with some pretty cool stuff. Mass Effect 2 got a similar treatment plus a connection to the “Cerberus Network” which served as the DLC downloader and activator for collector’s edition owners.

This may be a permanent price drop as it is not listed under PLUS or special deals. This is a great bargain for the Assassins Creed II Deluxe Edition. For whatever reason, I really didn’t enjoy the first game. I skipped all the way to the … Continue reading
I want to start off first by discussing some system specific topics. I cover PS3 and PC almost exclusively. I admit some ill-will towards Microsoft as a company.

I also find their flagship IP, Halo, to be substantially over-rated and their online components far too rampant with racism, sexism, homophobia and general lack of intelligence. That being said, I am … Continue reading
