GCPD Lockdown, the latest piece of story DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight, is another reminder of why I’m forever grateful I didn’t plunk down the extra money for the pricey Season Pass for this game. Outside of the Batgirl mission, the narrative missions for both Harley Quinn and Red Hood were insultingly short and added little to the…
When the classic Tim Burton Batmobile arrived in Batman: Arkham Knight, it came with a companion costume for the Dark Knight that resembled the classic costume from 1989’s Batman and Batman Returns. With the arrival of the Tumbler Batmobile in Arkham Knight yesterday, a noticeable omission was a skin for Batman that allowed players to fully emerse themselves in the Nolan era…
One piece of the September update for Batman: Arkham Knight arrives today: The Tumbler Batmobile skin as well as the classic Arkham skin for Batman, and WB Games is teasing the rest of the goodies coming hopefully sooner rather than later in a new trailer. The video gives a glimpse of the Nightwing solo campaign and some challenge maps,…
Cover based shooters existed before the year 2006, a few examples being the WinBack series, Namco’s Kill Switch or even Time Crisis in the arcade’s. Ask most people though what game they think of when they think cover based shooter, and they’ll probably say Microsoft’s big game for the Xbox 360 that year, Gears of War. What I didn’t know is that earlier…
Something I don’t do very often when it comes to writing reviews is to look on what other people have written, a trend I broke with Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion. I personally really loved the first Turok Game Boy outing, and while disappointed by the simplicity in its sequel, I still enjoyed it much more than…
Revealed earlier in the year, the upcoming game based on the Battle Chasers series, subtitled Nighwar, is now in the midst of a crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter. The developer Airship Syndicate, composed of staff from former video game developer Vigil, who made the Darksiders series, and Battle Chasers creater Joe Madureira is seeking $500,000 and as of this writing they are well…
Back when the PlayStation first game out, I honestly had no idea what it was. At the time there was an arcade that had just launched in Canada called Playdium and I legitmately thought they were the same thing. I had no knowledge of the botched SNES add-on vaporware that never happened, and in my mind…
Back in the short window of time when Sega’s swansong console the Dreamcast was seen as a viable contender, the bread and butter of the software line-up was arcade ports, especially in Capcom’s catalog of games: Street Fighter III, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Power Stone, Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand, Cannon Spike, and the unforgettable Marvel Vs. Capcom, both 1…
Wanting to cash in on the Deadpool buzz being generated from the upcoming movie and not wanting to make a new game, publisher Activision is releasing a HD re-master of 2013’s Deadpool on both the PS4 and Xbox One this November. The kicker? It’s going to be sold as a $50 game, which is a steep price…
It was an undertaking to translate the original Turok: Dinosaur Hunter into an 8-bit handheld game, yet somehow developer Bits Managers managed to make an experience that very much felt like the N64 classic. But how does one adapt a game like Turok: Rage Wars, a piece of software built around fast-paced, twitch multi-player action into a Game…
