Arkham city

Like its predecessor, Arkham City drops Batman in the confines of an unconventional prison. But where Arkham Asylum stuck players in the halls and courtyards of a mental hospital overrun with the Joker's goons and allies, Arkham City deposits them in a sprawling neighborhood of Gotham City that has been walled off to contain the criminal element.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Scott Pilgrim(played by Michael Cera) has a problem. He's head-over-heels for the new girl in town, Ramona Flowers(Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and he's finally managed to get close to her, but there's a catch: in order to date her, he must deal with the baggage of her previous relationships...

AVATAR The Navis (big blue dudes/Native Americans/Iraqis.. take your pick) come with built in USB devices in their hair that they use to jack into creatures to ride them or into plants to communicate with them. Thank you James Cameron, for clarifying that they have a close bond with nature. If they can jack into the forest and talk to it, how the hell is it such a surprise when the bad guys show up to a place it took them THREE MONTHS OF BULLDOZING ACROSS THE FOREST to reach?

Xmen first class

In any case to cut the formalities and explanations behind it short, I really enjoyed this film, which is something I hadn't expected. The acting that pushed it along far exceeded anything I had expected prior as I had seen the trailer and the previous film incarnations and expected this to be a goofy high school musical remake to what was otherwise a good to fair franchise for marvel films. Below are three of the pro's and con's that would otherwise make up my opinion.

The controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) has already pushed Red 5 Studios to shut down the beta and website for Firefall on January 18, but now, an even more prominent game company is readying a blackout to be held on the same day.

Neamo On : Arkham City

I bought Arkham City today ( Or yesterday as is the point in case. ) and have been on and off playing through it. It's a great game. While this isn't a review, this front page article is just to let you know that ( In-case you hadn't heard. ) Arkham City is a great game. It combines the best part of the comic world of Batman with the dark and gritty world in the films to make a hybrid of the two, something fantastic but at the same time not totally unbelievable. It borrows a lot from several films, the main theme itself being Escape From New York, but instead of Snake Plissken bearing nothing but a stylish eye-patch, you are Bruce Wayne with the world's most advanced armory. That said it is all about Kung Fu, but it's still engaging.

The scenery is amazing. It's like nothing I've ever seen in pound for pound detail. Every texture is different, there are no big repeated buildings in the same way that there are no "This room is not a room." walls coated in doors. Everything has a purpose, and there are villains all over. There's no batception here, it's just all over cool. The side-quests are from what I can see at the moment a little repetitive, but that's the nature of the beast. The game is still golden because it has enough content and varied side quests that it makes it enjoyable.

So while this isn't a review, what do I think of it so far? Play it. And wait for my review.

What is fanglewurzle

jbrett_old

Fanglewurzle is the brainchild of a series of unfortunate events involving a site closure, an English cinephile, four pints of liquid caffeine and healthy dose of sarcasm.
