Pigs! If oogling Catwoman from afar in Batman: Arkham City wasn’t good enough for you, now you’ve hit the jackpot. Selina Kyle isn’t just going to be a latex-clad foil and sexual dynamo for the players to drool over. No sir! She’s going to be a fully playable character. A manipulable fetish object for everyone to enjoy. This was revealed today in an impressively sexist trailer complete with gratuitous shots of ass, glistening lips, and a “warrior pose” which has Kyle arching her back, pushing out her tits, and posing for your enjoyment.

Female empo-meow-erment, lol, get it? Awful, I know.

Hit the jump for the reveal trailer.

The premium Call of Duty service is official, after rumor and cloaks and daggers. Its confirmation signals much consternation from a lot of fans, myself included. Whatever the grousing this much is true: Call of Duty Elite is the future. The culmination of a slow gaming galactic boil that has finally gone supernova, and its coming to gobble us up. Gobble! Gobble gobble!

With new details coming out, again, it is clear. Call of Duty Elite is the future. For better or worse.

Earlier this year it was rumored that there was a subscription-based flavor of Call of Duty coming. I thought it made sense. Others didn’t. It’s coming. Told you so.

The problem with Dragon Age 2 was that, it was at best, like twenty-three percent of a game. Somewhere in the miasma, there floats the rest of Dragon Age 2. A game that is more than three dungeons, a city, and an  unmemorable  storyline. I mean, it was a really really good twenty-three percent.

But that’s it.

At least DA2’s lead designer seems aware of this.

With the passing of Macho Man last week, it’s good to see that another childhood icon of mine is carrying on. Ye old leather-skinned Hulk Hogan, whose ticker somehow refuses to quit. Hogan isn’t just still among the living, he’s also still the master of whoring his own Existence turned Brand. Thanks to him and the geniuses at  Majesco, we’ll be getting a Hulk Hogan game for the Kinect.

Now the peripheral makes perfect sense.

With Wii 2 news carving up the video game websites like a mo’fuckah, I suppose it was only time until Microsoft and Sony were all like “Yo!, we’re totally making new consoles as well! Love us, worship us, fiddle our knobs. Please!” That’s exactly what the CFO of Sony did today.

I like  David O. Russell. I like Mark Walhberg. What I didn’t like was contemplating an adaptation of one of my favorite video game franchises of the generation, Uncharted, starring the Funky Bunch. Now I’m hoping I don’t have to sweat that anymore, since O. Russel has dropped off the project. This totally means no Wahlberg. Right? Right?!

Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer is the source of one of the scariest and most amazing conferences ever. You know the one. Where he’s screaming and running around and he gets really sweaty and I’m sure the people in the audience brown-coated their panty liners a bit. Now a major hedge fund player  David Einhorn wants to take this gem away from us. Einhorn thinks it’s time for Stevey to throw the deuces up and leave his position.

While it’s news to me, apparently there was a scam going around Xbox Live last month. Some dude was phishing in Modern Warfare 2, and when he was caught Microsoft didn’t drop the hammer on him. They had him cozy up to their sweaty, stinking, but bizarrely comforting side.
