Batman and Robin's latest outing answers some questions, and raises even more.
Batman: Arkham City was arguably one of last year's best games. Not only did it provide a ton of fan-service for Batman fanatics, but it also was a fantastic game, providing a great story, addictive combat, and brilliant production values. One of the most memorable parts of the game, for better or worse is how it ended. Harley Quinn's Revenge deals with the shocking conclusion to Arkham City, and its effect on not only Harley, but the Caped Crusader himself.
This review contains some spoilers of the ending to Batman: Arkham City. You have been warned!
Brand New Fighting Game Featuring DC Comics Finest.
Continuing the slew of new fighters being introduced this generation, Warner Brothers and NeatherRealm, the makers of the Mortal Kombat series, have announced Injustice: Gods Among Us. This fighter is completely based around the characters within the DC Comics universe and pits them against each other in what are bound to be pretty epic battles. Based on the debut trailer of the game, it seems as if something has happened to the DC Heroes which turns them evil in some way, making them a threat to everyone.
Insert Top Gun reference here.
City Interactive is delivering some arcade-style shoot-em-up goodness later this year in the form of Dogfight 1942. Originally titled Combat Wings: The Great Battles of World War II, the game had been intended as a retail game. However, along with the name change, the game will now be a downloadable only title that will be available on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam when it's released.
What else are they gonna dip all those chips in?
DrinkBox Studios turned a few heads at PAX East with their reveal of Guacamelee!, “Mexican themed co-op-multiplayer dimensions-swapping Metroid-vania beat-em-up platformer” starring a “down on his luck Mexican anmed Juan Aguacate.” Just from that sentence alone, you can see why people were intrigued by this bizarre, yet beautiful game. At least someone from Sony noticed enough to make Guacamelee! a PSN exclusive for both the PlayStation 3 and the Vita as part of Sony’s PlayStation Pub Fund Program.
You owe it to yourself to give these games a shot.
With the deluge of games being released all year long, none of us can complain about not having anything to play. But therein lies another problem: trying to keep up with all of the great games out there. The big releases with primetime TV ads are hard to miss, but it’s easy to overlook the little guys that can be just as, if not more fun than their bigger AAA cousins.
Available on the DSi for 500 Points, and for $4.99 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
Oh, and the HD collection gets a release date.
For those wondering when the HD collection of the cult hit series Zone of the Enders would be coming out, we now have a date. It’s October 25th of this year. But that’s one of the more insignificant pieces of news to come out of the Zone of the Enders HD ReBOOT Preview event.
Gearbox Producer teases that the Wii U is a “Powerful, Powerful Machine”
Skeptics have been dismissing the Wii U since its reveal, claiming that the new console still will fail to hold a candle to the current generation consoles. Some developers have been going out of their way to dispute these claims, such as Vigil, the company behind Darksiders 2, claiming that the console will have a version of the game that is “at least as good as” the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. Gearbox however, goes even further to say flat out that The Wii U version of their upcoming title, Aliens: Colonial Marines, will indeed look better than the rest.
