Batman: Arkham Asylum Review

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Batman: Arkham Asylum - "The choke's on you!"The prison guard jerks The Joker’s arm as he leads him off to his familiar cell in Arkham Asylum. As The Joker looks back over his shoulder at Batman, he trips and falls to his knee.

When the guard leans down to help him up, Joker takes the opportunity to quickly headbutt the guard as he stands up, sending him reeling. Before anyone can react he leaps up & wraps his cuffs around the guard’s neck from behind. Batman beats on the reinforced glass separating him from his nemesis as he kills the helpless prison guard.

When The Joker hears the guard’s last gurgling attempts at breathing, he gets in his punchline… “Choke’s on you!”

This scene sets the whole tone of Batman: Arkham Asylum, and I think someone may have been pumping Joker gas into my living room, as I had a silly grin on my face the whole time.

Street Fighter 4 Gameplay

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Now, being born at the tail-end of the 70s, I grew up as a gamer kid… and probably the most prolific game of my generation was “Street Fighter 2: The World Warriors” made by Capcom – this quickly became cemented as my all-time-favorite fighting game.

Capcom have been developing the 4th SF game in the series, with some awesome visual styles… and gameplayvideos.com has the first look of the new game in action. :)

So without further ado – here are some gameplay clips of what will most likely be the most popular fighting game of 2008:

And if those morsels weren’t enough for you, there’s another video of 1up’s exclusive SF4 Special after the jump. :) (more…)

Street Fighter: Dancer vs Baby

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Sorry – I had to post this just because its complete genius… :D

Its a video of a breakdancer doing a public display, and accidentally kicking a small child – but some clever sod has added Street Fighter music and sound effects, which is total genius!

Check the video after the jump.

Assassin’s Creed – Not long to wait…

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

I’ve been drooling over this game since I heard about it… and along with Halo 3 and GTA IV, is one of my reasons for buying an Xbox 360… and many a gamer has drooled over Jade Raymond – one of the game’s producers… here’s a pic for you guys. ;)

The game is released in about a week… so I thought I’d share a gameplay movie of one of the first assassination missions.

Enjoy!
