Sigh, so I don’t really care about the Batman Arkham games. I was kind of liking Arkham City until I realized that a lot of it was just going from point A to point B in a mostly empty city. When word first leaked that the next game was a prequel called Arkham Origins I …

GameTrailers In case you missed it yesterday, here’s the Xbox event where the newest Xbox was officially revealed.

It seems that indie games are definitely approaching the quality of GCN/PS2 era games, and that’s a good thing because some of those games had a perfect blend of technology and design. I’m definitely going to keep all the game from this video on my radar, if they weren’t already.

So they are finally bringing back Pac-Man? Cool. This seems like a weird direction to keep Pac-Man. I thought they retired this version a long time ago when the 3D games weren’t cutting it. Since then it’s mostly been re-releases of the original game. I don’t quite see what the problem is with trying to …

So, did Rayman just take a trip to Rapture? Seriously, this is why Wii U owners were excited about this game. It’s got class, it’s got innovation, and damn Ubisoft just release for Wii U owners now and let everyone else catch up later. Even the challenge app is amazing.

What an interesting game? It kind of reminds me of The Sims but, much more flushed out and I’m very curious as to how systematic this game is. I hope that it tries very hard to create these experiences and run mostly on some kind of AI, rather than a series of scripted events. This …

The problem with a documentary like this, with the goal of breaking down barriers, is that the people who put up those barriers aren’t interested in learning. They think all gamers are violence-obsessed psychopaths because they can’t be bothered to look outside their windows and see that nearly everyone plays some kind of game (or …

I’m a little sad that compared to Ezio, Connor’s story was just over and done with. I really like the pirates theme, I just think that the American Revolution and early America had plenty more to explore, though I guess the Vita one took care of some of that. But the ship combat was one …

So we finally get an English trailer for the new Phoenix Wright game, subtitled Dual Destinies. The mood matrix that your new sidekick uses looks pretty cool, exploring another aspect of being able psychologically break down the criminal mind. And who says video games don’t teach you anything?

I’m sure everyone already knows about Batgirl as DLC for Injustice thanks to the leak, but it looks like now we’re finally getting a trailer for her, along with some of her history in The Killing Joke (with an alternate costume for Joker). I never would have thought that Batgirl would be in the game, …

Wolfenstein: The New Order Wow, talk about a franchise that we thought would never see the light of day again. Some stuff that bothers me about reviving these old franchises is that I think they often rely more on nostalgia to sell and rely on a lot of outdated design techniques without really improving on …

When I last saw this game, I called it a kind of competitive performance art. I still hold by that and being able to explore the cello controller, we’re able to see what kind of game the cellist is able to play. I think it would be pretty awesome to have an entire album …

I never finished the original Eternal Darkness, but I really did love what I did play. The way the game messes with your head was just brilliant and I’m sure has gone on to inspire a ton of other horror games that feature some kind of sanity meter. I certainly hope that this project gets …

Okay I’m sold. The Oculus Rift is WAY more than just a gimmick. I know I was pretty skeptical about it, but this game, whether it gets made or not, has shown me the value of such a devise and I hope one day I can develop a game for it.

So it appears we are being given a kind of individual story in The Elder Scrolls Online. Um…why? I might be a little to green to MMORPG’s, but the last time an MMO made a big deal about their single player experience, the result was…less than satisfactory. In fact, one of the perceived problems with …
