Saints Row – The Third Soundtrack List

Just started playing Saints Row 3 aka Saints Row the Third and this game is simply pure ridiculous fun. Though the Saints Row soundtrack is not as ambitious in scope as the Grand Theft Auto series, the musical selection is still impressive and varied. Saints Row as a series has always done it’s own thing and I appreciate that.  Of particular note is the nice 80s and 90s selection which makes up the bulk of my “Mix-Tape”, the games way … Continue reading

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

Batman – Arkham City Original Video Game Score

Batman – Arkham City is impressive on many levels. Like I mentioned in my initial impressions of the game everything in the game is top-notch and improved over the already great Arkham Asylum. The game garnered enough attention to earn itself a bigger budget, both for the game and it’s marketing. Because of this, the Batman Arkham City Soundtrack features some big-time names from modern radio.  Now for some of us, that time of music and/or those bands aren’t our … 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

Batman Arkham City – Initial Impressions

Arkham City Impressions I spent a few hours with Arkham City this evening. I have to say that I can definitely see where all the positive hype is coming from. As I discussed in the preview article, Arkham Asylum was a bit of a surprise.  There wasn’t much to complain about with the first game and from my initial play-time it feels as though they have been able to improve on virtually everything somehow. I made the brash decision 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
