The next big Batman game is coming in on the heels of The Dark Knight.  Unfortunately it won't be out this year and thankfully it won't be based on the movie as movie-to-game translations generally suck. 

Batman: Arkham Asylum is due out sometime next year on the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.  No crappy Wii port planned at this time.  The game takes place in the infamous Gotham prison/nut house, Arkham Asylum. I don't know if you get to spend so…  More

God of War 3 made it's first "in-game footage" debut tonight on the Spike TV Video Game Awards.  If you flipped the channel to check a football score you may have very well missed it.  It isn't long, but it does look solid.  Here's the footage thanks to those great folks at 1UP:


It looks like typical God of War.  I wouldn't judge the quality of graphics yet as we are watching a  cam recording there.  Yes there is less 20 seconds of footage and that irks me a b…  More

Tony Hawk, we miss the days of quality games based around your likeness.  The early Tony Hawk games like Pro Skater 1-4 and the Underground series were pretty damn good.  Even a guy like me who isn't big on "all things skating" enjoyed them for being quality games overall. 

Unfortunately after Underground 2 things went down hill and the series has suffered.  Skate is the new big dog on the skating ramp.  The Tony Hawk series has languished so much that Activision gave the series a year off …  More
