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

Hitman Absolution Debut Trailer – 47 is Back

The best thing about E3 isn’t about console wars pr which developer is better, it’s about finally getting a good look at new I.P.s and the continuation franchises that you had hoped or heard were making a return. I have always thoroughly enjoyed the Hitman series. Though the last few entries are considered by some to not be as good as say Hitman 2, I felt they have all provided memorable sequences and were working hard to expand your options … Continue reading

EA E3 2011 Press Conference Breakdown

E3 2011 – EA Origin For those that don’t know or don’t remember. Origin Systems was the creator of the Wing Commander, Crusader and Ultima brands.  EA bought them out in the late 90s and shut the doors in about 2005.  It appears that they are going to put to use their hold on that copyright by pushing the new EA Origin service. EA was almost as bad at overkilling this service as Microsoft was with Kinect spamming. Origin, which … Continue reading

Uncharted 3 Pre-orders Rolling Out with Collector’s Edition

Just Finished my Platinum run-through of L.A.Noire and I’m waiting for all of the DLC to download.  Either my connection is bad tonight, which is quite possible, or the Playstation Store is again getting slammed after re-opening late last night. While perusing the usual news, information, gaming and media sites, I discovered today’s press release regarding Uncharted 3 (the things you miss while at work!). Uncharted 1 and 2 are the only other games I’ve achieved platinum on outside of … Continue reading

Fallout 4 Preview Update | New Vegas Voice Cast (Wayne Newton)

Fallout 4 Preview Updates Check this link for the Fallout New Vegas Soundtrack & Music List. Fallout New Vegas has updated it’s voice cast with a personality that really embodies the Vegas spirit.  “Mr. Vegas” himself, Wayne Newton will provide the voice of himself as the Radio DJ pre-recorded before the big Fallout event.  I think Newton is obviously a perfect New Vegas voice casting choice and a beyond adequate replacement of Three Dog from Fallout 3. His voice could … Continue reading
