Like some of you, this weekend I’ll be exploring the surreal, paranoid halls of Arkham Asylum.
What I like most about the new Batman game so far is how well it conveys the sense that you are a superhero. The hand-to-hand combat is brilliantly choreographed with its sudden slo-mo close-ups when you complete a combo and supported by an uncomplicated but satisfying rhythm-based approach to swinging your fists.
I’m not yet convinced it’s quite worth the stellar scores it has been receiving, but it is without doubt one of the best superhero experiences ever to grace a gaming platform.
I’m also going to finally check out The Conduit and, of course, continue my never-ending Fallout 3 adventures.
How about you?

Both incredibly awesome games, until now I’ve felt like my PSP wasn’t really worth the money, but now I’m really glad I own one.

Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 1:01 PMI’m trying to work my way through my PS2 backlog, so it’s going to be Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga. Also I’ll probably try to get a bit closer to my inFAMOUS platinum trophy – I’m playing through again as evil, and loving it all over again

Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 2:47 PMIn a misguided attempt to enact change in my life I unistalled all my games a few months back – and now in my regret I have dug through files in my computer and extracted Dead Space and a few indie steam demos. Osmos is fantastic, World of Goo is really neat, Crayon Physics Deluxe is cool too. Blueberry Garden just freaks me out a little. More than Dead Space now I think about it.

Going to smash out a much of that as I can between work and Battlefield Heroes (really love the fun gameplay and simple missions).
