Batman: Arkham City


Release Date: 25/03/11 - 26/03/11 (Either Date)

The sequel to Batman Arkham Asylum this game I must admit has amazing the graphics, weapons, story line, gameplay, and challenges were all great.

*Spoiler*

Arkham Asylum is about Batman easily capturing the Joker since the Joker already has the intention of being caught by Batman so that he can be sent to Arkham Asylum, where he will gain control of the asylum from the inside and turn it into his own island in order to lure the Bat into a trap, obviously Batman goes in knowing that it is a trap well equipped with various weapons and his classic Batarang, Explosive Gel, bat claw and more which makes it even better you can upgrade weapons and  make them even stronger to whip the bad guys into shape. Enough about Batman Arkham Asylum I could go on about the riddles mind bending riddles but this is all about Arkham City.

Okay, Arkham City where to start well first of all it’s going to be a multiplayer game?! Which will be interesting judging from the quality of the last one, I’m guessing it will not be split screen you will have to play on separate screens? As most games are starting to change and making games more fun the Dark Knight also will have sub stories/ missions as well. At the end of Arkham City Batman defeats Pumped Joker and leaves the crime scene in his mysterious way, in Arkham City someone as usual takes credit for Batman’s work, A plan has being going on where criminals have been released into the city and they are not allowed to escape, which is the condition for them if they want to be "free". Batman doesn’t like this so he will keep a close eye upon these events but obviously he will be covert. More characters will be appearing in Arkham City this time Harley Quin is still in it as well as the Riddler, Cat women, Two Face, Mr Freeze, and more.

Bioshock Infinite


Release Date: 2012

Bioshock is a game developed by Irrational Games also know as 2K the game is about a man called Jack (you) who has gone though and gory and twisted tale. In the first Bioshock a Jack survives a plan crash and has to go into an underwater city called Rapture which is a man called Andrew Ryan's "Paradise" seems like things didn't go his way unfortunately you could see the potential in the city. As you go through the first person shooter you then start to discover that not everything is what it seems you also find out what happens to all the different splicers that will attack you later in the game. From the very start of the game it already has an creepy but great tale. Later in the once you have fulfilled a man called Frank Fontaine's wishes you later on find out that he is a back stabbing jerk and you will need to help a lady (forgot her name) rescue her little children from the big daddy's

In Bioshock 2 the tale gets even more twisted and you the start the game as a big daddy using plasmids which give you power to destroy a women called Sophia Lamb's dream, in this Bioshock you are dying because Sophia has created a system that if a big daddy is away from there little sister for too long they die you could say it was a safety protocol for them. Now instead of big daddy's which are now obsolete you now have big sisters which are a hell of allot scarier and stronger and much, much quicker, so you must go and get back your little sister before you die....... again lol.

Bioshock Infinite this is the third and I think the last of the trilogy where you and i presume your wife have to go through another tragic tale although there is a big twist to this game you are actually IN the sky in a floating city which is quite cool if you ask me but no one is sadly lol anyway towards the end of the demo you find out that your wife is being chased by someone/ something thing is you don't know what it is till now (picture below) now on a serious note what in the world is it, it looks like a flying big daddy sister thing it has the agility of a big sister the brute force of a big daddy and WINGS?! wow!!!!!!

Where to start geeeeez, Isaac Clarke the character you play as in this epic tail is on bored a repair ship with a small crew to help fix the "problem" on the ship you then later on found out that all the things that are happening are because of a man made marker which has been told to have "valuable secrets" in it, moving on as you go through a tuff time of being cut, sliced, blown up, shoot at , shocked and all, experiencing ships breaking through walls being sucked into the cold hearted abyss of space and fight some pretty big creatures this can be traumatising for one man making dead space 2 start off well.

Dead space 2 is when Isaac wakes up from a 3 years later Isaac wakes up in a hospital turns out he has dementia but a different form off dementia making his journey long difficult and confusing.

Mortal Kombat 9



Realese Date: April 2011 (Hopefully)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Finally there going back to old skool Mortal Kombat.

This is Mortal Kombat is some what unique especially for you PS3 players out there. Mortal Kombat is you typical fighting game with a twist, you can beat the living day light out of people with characters of your choice once you have annihilated your enemy you can finish them of in various way such as Fatalities, Brutalities, but with in these you can do things such as pull one limbs of pull out organs, break necks, backs, faces, legs and so forth and each individual character has the own unique finishing move just to top the cake of with the icing. Although the game or should I say the characters are in 3D the background is in 2D so you cant move around the stage all willy nilly like you could before now it's back to good old classic back and forth and one hell of a butt kicking. With more intense fighting you can see damage that you do to other people for example if you head butt some one it would go into an x-ray view of the skull an show you what you have broken on the enemys face in slow motion obviously with some blood lol. The classic characters are still there, you can also have tag battle where you swap characters which makes the game even more fun and last longer. In some ways the style kind of remind me of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 just the way you can go in and out and use other peoples ability's to save your self or do extra damage. ooooo and one of my favourite moves in Mortal Kombat is Kung Lao's Buzz saw which is also back :)

PS3:
For all of you PS3 players out there your exclusive charater is KRATOS!!!!!!! for God Of War 1-3!! this platform game is amazingly fun as well as gory and action packed also well as having a deep storyline line.



Xbox 360:

From what i have heard turns out xbox's secrect character is actually Dante from Dante's Inferno so this will be an interesting game hopefully.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim



Realease Date: 11/11/11


From the makers of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Bethesda Game Studios (The Developers) are bring out The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim which you ask me is going to be pretty cool hopefully though it wont be as glitchy as Oblivion but its only glitchy for people who have it on platforms such as Xbox 360 & Playstaion 3 this is simply because  they rushed it so that they could get it out quick because of high demand. Hopefully though they would not have done that this time and that they have worked out the kinks in the game. Oblivion was great apart from the glitches some where good though. The was a vast amount of thing you could do in the game you could create your own spells walk on water, etchant your own armour to give you bonuses that you think will be beneficial to you. Oblivion also has various armours that you can use its also in some sense realistic although it is a fantasy game, you do have a weight capacity but you can get different armours that give either give you different perks, protection, or they could just be lighter so that you can carry more.


This game has 2 different expansion packs which increase the length of your epic trail, Shivering Isles and Knights Of The Nine. In shivering Isles an island suddenly appears and you must go in a portal after a guy has sent in several men who haven't come out yet, once you go in you will meet a man called Sheogorath who as you will find out has a few issues but you must help him beat The Daedric Lord of Order which makes the stroy come to a quite amazing twist to the end but if you think about it you wouldn't be toooooo surprised.


Knights Of The Nine is the other expansion pack of oblivion this has a interesting story line if you like treasure hunting and hunting people down and killing them then you may like this, all in all there a bunch of mights who have died and you must help/ avenge there souls so that you can unlock The Knights Of The Nine suit of armour to help fight against something (which I wont give away).

Armoured Core 5


Armoured Core 5, In my opinion probably the best mech game by far!!!!!!!!! but that just my opinion who care about that lets get to the juicy stuff.

This game was developed by from software who also developed armoured core 1,2,3, 4, Armoured Core: Last Raven, Armoured Core Silent Line, Armoured Core For Answers (This isn't in order by the way)

If your someone who like high speed combat this maybe of interest to you but it also works for people who are not fans of high speed combat it all depends on your AC (Armoured Core). From hundreds of combinations you can customize your AC for the head straight down to its legs you can also customize it internally give it a name and an emblem, you can even use your friends or enemy's schematics for there AC. AC's can travel at high speeds varying for 200 - kph, you can customize you AC's weapons with laser rifles, shotguns, slug guns, rail guns, grenade & rocket launchers, bazookas, missiles seriously the list is really long honestly. The aim of the game really is that there are various different company's that may specialize in certain areas but are also competition for other companies which is kind of obvious, for example in Armoured Core For Answers a company called Omer Science specialised in energy efficient AC's which is good if you like using energy weapons and flying for long periods of time are competing for control so that one can become dominant but a company called the league didn't want that so they set various companies who specialize in there own area to help distribute control so that nobody is fully in control. You the AC are give various mission to do in order to either create peace and hormone, create a new way of living or to simply cause hell.

I would tell you the story line but because the game branches of into so many various or sub story lines I can't really remember although I can tell you that in Armoured Core 4 there are 3 different story lines for those who don't know or who haven't played it . I'm not to sure when Armoured Core 5 is coming out UK or USA but when I do find out ill post it up but for Japan it should be coming out soon.

(how silly would you feel saying this game was from from software and no thats not a typo my friend mentioned it to me so I thought I'd post it)
