Years ago, when I would visit my local comic book shop regularly.  I would see retailers, customers, kids, and everyone in between sitting at tables yelling, screaming, and laughing even.  I didn’t know what all the chaos was about.  But I did notice that it was something that happened all the time.  And the more [...]

I don’t think I can say enough about how the Frostbite engine is the greatest thing since skinny jeans can I?  Well if you don’t know, I’m a big fan of what DICE has been able to do with Frostbite 2 and more importantly how Battlefield 3 has been able to push it to even [...]

Batman: Arkham City, hand’s on at PAX

One of the games I was really looking forward to playing at PAX was Batman: Arkham City.  I don’t have to list the reasons do I?  Batman: Arkham Asylum was the best Batman game ever made in like … EVER.  The sequel had some big shoes to fill and I was eager to see if Rocksteady [...]
