I've just finished Arkham City. Damn was it short and easy and never really escalated to awesome. Seriously, this felt like a prologue to the real game. I guess they spent too much time building the city and then didn't have time to make content. Few boss fights, those that were there weren't great, few inventive environmental challenges. All it did for actual challenge was throw you in a room with tons of thugs, but with the spammy combat it's all the same anyway. Meh. Arkham Asylum was an awesome tightly paced Metroid-like experience full of greatness with a single low point (Croc), this was a light, short sandbox wannabe. I only liked that stealth was a bit more freeform this time and usable in seemingly more and most of the game.



I have a few more things to do like finish Catwoman's business, get all the Titan stuff, and the rest Riddler trophies (which I probably won't do) but eh, I doubt those will change my mind about it... New Game Plus sounds nice but hopefully it's balanced and doesn't do crazy things like triple the amount of armored enemies with guns and shields in tight rooms or whatever...

Whoa.

I was looking forward to this and till now I had only heard positive things about it. I do dislike the combat in AA. I thought this game was far longer than AA?

Silent Hill Downpour Wii pics

Wait there is no Wii version, oh no.

You're such a graphics whore.

It looks fine to me, although a little dull.

So I saw the Girl Who Leapt through time again last night and it reminded me of how you bastards still haven't seen Summer Wars, the excellent film from the same director.

So I decided to spam you with media and info.

The film tells the story of Kenji Koiso, a timid eleventh-grade math genius who is taken to Ueda by twelfth-grade student Natsuki Shinohara to celebrate her great-grandmother's 90th birthday. However, he is falsely implicated in the hacking of a virtual world by an artificial intelligence. Kenji must repair the damage done to the virtual world and he must find a way to stop the artificial intelligence from causing any further damage.

REVIEW

"Richly detailed and beautifully written, Summer Wars is a film filled with the sprawling chaos of family. Always ready to pause to capture the small details of daily life, Summer Wars uses its scifi premise to provide some punch to the visuals and energy to the proceedings while - so subtly that you barely notice - Hosoda pulls a bait and switch job and delivers not a ripping scifi adventure so much as he does a truly human story, a story of hope and perseverance and learning to become a man. It is a charming and funny piece of work, one that has a spot-on understanding of human nature, one blessed with an extensive cast of stunningly detailed and authentic characters."

So I guess we should all be buying Pushmo.

Also 1up have a good feature on Last Window DS and the end of CING

Also...... this is Namco's poster for advertising Soul Calibur 5 in Japan

you should definitely get pushmo/pullblox and also mighty switch force

Maybe AC is longer if you do a lot of useless repetitive battles and shit in the city area. But it still won't feel as good or as long as AA since beating small groups of random thugs is only exciting so many times. It needs cool boss fights and cool set pieces and environmental challenges that make you feel good about figuring them out, and AC is lacking in all those imo. And Batman keeps getting pwned.

Lol tits.

AC is longer if you do all the side missions. Plus there is way more extra content. The game overall is bigger, the main campaign may not be. And the boss fights are WAY improved over the first.

If you don't read the news there's a major announcement - RE: Revelations Demo Coming to NA and Europe

BOO-FUCKING-YAH!!!!  3DS is getting demos and this is the one to start it off right.

I need to trade some soldiers with somebody who has the Xbox version of Peace Walker. Travo?

I don't want any in return...I just have too many dudes and need to get rid of some.

Sure!

Shit I missed you earlier.

MUCH clearer version of that comic I posted a few weeks ago!

D'AWWWWW!

Those concept art paintings/watercolours of the Skyward Sword concept art are really beautiful.  GG that's the sort of thing you should look to buy for your room

Buying the canvas oil paintings has proved to be a pain in the ass. I had to pay 30% more to get stretcher bars and now I have to mount and frame them and even buy in picture hooks and start drilling holes, screwing them in, then stretching the canvas etc. I wouldn't do it again. Normal glass pane frames and art on paper are the way to go.

In Japan I think they got 6 or so demos, including MGS3 Snake Eater.
