‘BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT’ TRAILER: GOTHAM BURNS AGAIN
Well, isn’t this day progressing quickly. From leaked info, to reveal, to an official trailer. Happy Batman: Arkham Fucking Knight day! Seriously though, my take from the trailer, and sort of the movies: Batman pretty much never fixes anything. Oh sure he’s throwing haymakers and beating ass, but it’s because yet again his fucking city is burning.
Can’t wait, though!
‘BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT’ ANNOUNCED. Spandex Stiffy.
The next Bat-Guy game has been released, and glory be the Masterminds behind the first two titles have returned. Rocksteady Games will be rocking (ha! fuck me and my shit puns!) out on Batman: Arkham Knight.
BioWare has discussed ‘MASS EFFECT’ remastered editions for the next-gens. I’M SPRUNG.
BioWare! Just fucking take my money! Take my money. Release these remastered editions. Watch me lap at your feet like the little classless, begging Mass Effect trollop that I am.
WATCH: ‘TITANFALL’ AD proves LIFE IS BETTER WITH A MECH
Titanfall. Next week! Next fucking week! Here’s a somewhat amusing advert that underscores something objectively true. Life is just better when you’re rolling through it with a mech.
GO FIGURE: UK agency spied on your dongs through webcam images; explored Kinect surveillance
It turns out some British intelligence agency totally looked at webcam images from more than a million Yahoo user accounts. I’m shocked! Like way shocked. Double go figure: they were like “Hey we can probably look at everyone’s business through their Kinect, too.”
Press Start: Indie Game Primer
I’d like to think that we’ve gotten far beyond the point of an “Indie Game Revolution” now. These games, despite their lower public profile and lack of big label backing should be, and largely are, woven into the larger quilt that makes up gaming as a whole. There is still a chance, however, that some of you were too busy picking your leaky sphincters and sniffing your fingers – getting locked into that dangerous behaviour loop to such an extent that you may have slept on some titles. Never fear: my crowing, self-superior must-play list has arrived.
New Rocksteady-powered ‘BATMAN’ GAME being revealed next week?
I love me some Rocksteady Studios-powered Batman. Which is why when they weren’t responsible for last year’s Arkham: Mandatory Joker Appearance, I abstained. However it appears that those fuckers used the padded time acquired from handing off last year’s iteration to a new team to polish their own Batty-Man title.
WATCH: Sochi Speed Skating x ‘MARIO KART.’
Obligatory yet FUCKING NEEDED “Man if this was an Olympic Sport I’d actually care” comment. The indie film maker Michael Shanks has remixed speed skating from this year’s Olympics in Sochi with some glorious Mario Kart classics. That’s all you need to know!
New ‘TONY HAWK’ game coming from Activision. OLLIE OF F**KING JOY
Remember back in 2000 (or was it 2001? If only we could search things on the Internet), when Tony Hawk was fucking awesome? Grinding to Primus and shit? Man. The good old days. Then Tony Hawk came out every year and it was like WAY MOST NOT GNARLY and I got tired it. But it’s been long enough for a TUBULAR REVIVAL, and the Powers that Be at Activision see that too.
Shinji Mikami admits GENESIS VERSION OF ‘ALADDIN’ is tots superior
Thing I did not know: The Shinji Mikami was behind the SNES version of Aladdin. Thing I did know: The SNES version was blah central, while the Genesis version was not fucking optional. Apparently even Mikami knows this.
