Uncharted 3 Original Video Game Soundtrack

The official countdown has begun. Uncharted 3 is only one week away. Ever since my original Uncharted 3 Collector’s Edition preview post, my brief look at the non-spoiler sounding Uncharted 3 Trophies, and of course my look at the fun Uncharted 3 Subway contest which not only entered participants in to win prizes but game they them a free month of competitive multiplayer access ahead of the games release, I’ve gone mostly dark on reading and viewing UC3 stories and … Continue reading

Why You Need the Uncharted 3 Strategy Guide

Now, normally I don’t like to rely on hints or cheats of any kind when I make my first run at the game.  I consider a first play-through to be the best way to experience a game to its fullest.  If it’s an open-world game it depends on how much I enjoy as to whether or not I go for a “full exploration” pass.  Once I have completed a game, it’s then time to go back for completion or to … Continue reading

Game Releases Fall 2011 – Batman Arkham City

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 Paul Dini), and the mechanics … Continue reading

Uncharted 3 Promotion So here’s how you get in on the action.  The simplest way to purchase … Continue reading

Uncharted 3 Trophies Uncovered

The Uncharted 3 trophy list has been released. It doesn’t appear to contain any spoilers, so no worries. Looks like the standard style for the previous Uncharted games, some based on specific weapon kills, others based on amount of treasure found, some hand-to-hand combat for good measure plus fun trophies and specific actions.  I went back and platinumed the first two games and I am pondering playing this one on Crushing from the start.  It would make a cleanup trophy … Continue reading

Batman – Arkham City Soundtrack

Batman – Arkham City is one of my most anticipated titles of this year, which is saying a lot.  Arkham Asylum was quite the surprise hit, in that it was a comic book property done well in game form.  Cash-in comic book games, like most films or book to game properties are usually poor to say the least. Arkham Asylum changed that with a good storyline, excellent graphics and a beautiful, flowing, yet simple to execute combat system. Arkham City … Continue reading
