Batman games, and comic book tie-ins in general for that matter, don’t have the best track record when it comes to being high quality, enjoyable titles. It is therefore that we won’t fault anyone for not having high expectations for Batman: Arkham Asylum (BAA).  Please heed our warning, however, as this is a game you definitely want to check out, not only is BAA the best Batman game to ever be released, its one of the best games of the year, period. Read on to find out what made Rocksteady Studios (started by former members of developer Argonaut Games, best known for recent Harry Potter games and Starfox on the SNES), hit a home-run with this one…

ESRB Rating: T (Teen)

Progress: Contender (ranking of 15-0-0)

It’s been over three years since the release of the last Fight Night, which impressed, especially graphically, as an evolution of the king of boxing games. Although three years seems like a long enough time to dramatically improve the series, Fight Night Round 4, like so many EA sports games before it, mainly focuses on subtle game play tweaks; new controls, counter system and AI, so are these enough to make it worth your while?

spiderman

Developer: Shaba Games/Treyarch
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Third-Person Action
Platform: Xbox 360 (reviewed), PC, PS3, PS2, Wii, DS, PSP
ESRB Rating: T (Teen)
Players: 1
Hours Played: 12
Game Progress: Finished single player

Spider-Man has always been my favorite super hero. The costume Peter Parker made is pretty cool, he is intelligent and has incredible strength. Spider-Man even gets to climb up walls and web-swing from buildings! Who doesn’t want to do that? Since no one actually can, video games are as close as we can get to becoming the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. There have been numerous games starring my favorite hero, and we all know they are not always the greatest games ever made. The thing that makes this game stand out from the rest is the mainly a unique story, the ability to change between the black and red suits, good web-swinging mechanics and a giant open world that is your playground. I’m sure you are thinking, “Boy, that sounds great Jack, is there actually anything wrong with this game, because it sounds fantastic?” Well yeah, there is usually something wrong with every game. Read on, dear reader, to find out if Spider-Man’s legacy lives or dies through this game.

The sequel to 2007?s successful horror-FPS F.E.A.R. has finally arrived in the form of F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin (formerly known simply as Project Origin), and little black-haired girls have never been scarier. Although not perfect, the first F.E.A.R. delivered highly intelligent AI (artificial intelligence) and intense FPS action wrapped in a horror-themed setting. Fans of the game will be happy to know that the sequel (which is really a prequel to the events of the first game) improves on almost all counts, read on however to find out if it is enough to propel it to the top of the crowded FPS genre.
