Arkham is the new Assassin's Creed!

AC taking place in Gotham City would be pretty sweet. At least the assassin would kill the villains and be done with them.

About an hour ago I got to the part of being home sick where you are too sick to play games or read etc...

4 out of 5 doctors agree, a whiskey enema would fix you up in no time.

The 5th doctor recommended tequila.

Now I want tequila. A lot of tequila.

Tequila is always a good decision. That's something you young folk should learn from me if nothing else.

Gunman Clive 3DS eShop sales besting Steam sales

This reminds me of the one "Nintendo is Doomed and Here's How to Fix it" article I read that I actually agreed with to some extent. The author referenced Gunman Clive Sales on the 3DS and how they were beating sales on Steam, iOS, and Android. It was suggested that if Nintendo offered a line of good games around the $2 level it would be in a much better position to compete with smart phones and tablets that have games at the same price or cheaper. It makes sense and Gunman Clive shows that it can be done.

Also Mutant Mudds sold best on 3DS, followed by Wii U, beat Steam too.

“We’ve seen a phenomenon around the world,” says Kojima as we sit down with him, fresh from our play-through of Ground Zeroes. “Young people are losing interest in high-end games and focusing on mobile and social titles, especially in Japan. I wanted to show people that Japanese high-end games are still worth playing and that big Japanese games still have a future”. It’s an admirable vision, and one that we think informs the game’s curious pace – the main thing that caught us off-guard about Ground Zeroes was its length.

Think of Ground Zeroes as the Tanker mission from Metal Gear Solid 2 – it’s an elaborate preamble, a tutorial-cum-prologue that teaches you exactly how this new, open world Metal Gear Solid works. If Kojima was concerned about waning concentration spans of gamers, it shows – this is a game that suits the mobile generation; if you want to complete the main story in 90 minutes, you can. Before we played the game through, we were cynical – we thought that Konami was just keen to extract as much cash from its audience as possible, but Kojima assured us the game’s partitioning was done with no one but the end-user in mind.

“I’ll be honest, [splitting MGSV up] wasn’t necessarily a strategic move. The Phantom Pain is roughly 200 times bigger than Ground Zeroes. A game that big wouldn’t be ready for next-gen launch windows, and we didn’t have any Japanese titles that would be available. At that time, the Ground Zeroes portion was almost complete and a lot of fans were asking for a prologue, so that’s the decision we came to. That was the reasoning behind the move.”

"As you've probably guessed from the cover imagery, the Batmobile is finally a core element of the gameplay," reads the Game Informer reveal.

"An entirely new area of Gotham City, far larger than Arkham City, has much wider streets to accommodate the new driving gameplay that is designed to integrate smoothly with Batman's gliding and grappling traversal. Batman chases down super villains Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more."

"Arkham Knight takes place one year after the events of Arkham City," explains Rocksteady's Sefton Hill, "and Batman is at the very peak of his powers"."It's a lot more difficult this time because he's got all the super-villains teaming up to take him down. It's all on," added another dev.

"The Arkham games have always been about providing that power fantasy, about being and feeling like Batman, we're going to take it further with the addition of the Batmobile and the bigger city."

Hill continued: "We've known it's what people want. When you're Batman you do think Batmobile, It's the one key thing we felt we really always wanted to do. And also that refreshes the whole experience, which I really think it does. What we're always trying to do is [make] every game feel like a new game rather than another episode of the last one".

The earlier retailer listing stated that Rocksteady's third entry in the series will be the "explosive finale", and Sefton Hill has indicated this may indeed be the case.

"We kind of feel this is the natural end to the story," he said. "We really want to go out in style."
