Batman doesn't kill people. Batman's enemies certainly find murder enjoyable, though, something immediately obvious in exploring the unsettling environs of Arkham Island in Batman: Arkham Asylum (hereafter referred to as Batman:AA) for the Xbox 360. Batman:AA isn't a particularly original game. Rather, it's a very polished game with a nice mix of styles, taking gameplay cues from several other ... more.

Some of my earliest video game memories include the Atari 2600, and other than Commodore, no other company out there has as much sentimental value to me.  While the days of Nolan Bushnell are long gone and the property has bounced around between holding companies for a while, it looks like the Atari brand is coming back with a new tactic.  Online games. Their new website includes a bunch of f... more.

Jeff Strain knows his thing. He was part of the success Blizzard had with Diablo and Starcraft and worked on World of Warcraft before he went on to found ArenaNet, who made Guild Wars, which in its own way was wildly successful (but it's not an MMORPG!) Now he's started another company with the fitting name of Undead Labs and is taking on the fun world of Zombies in a new MMO they just announced... more.

Notice that I didn't say "developed" or "assembled".  There are many g... more.

If you haven't been to Walt Disney World recently, you may not know that the venerable Space Mountain ride has been closed for renovations.  They're updating the 1960s decor to be 1960s decor with the "oh, how quaint!" factor.  But, if that's not enough for you, try out this for size: Passengers will be able to immerse themselves in unique game play as they prepare for blast off, becoming par... more.

The rumor mill is in full swing about Project Natal with a supposed release date of November 2010.  The upcoming XBox motion capture device is supposed to hit the street for under £50 (about $83 USD) and 14 compatible games are being readied to drop at the same time.  Could it be Microsoft hoping to keep XBox sales going and cash in on holiday sales next year?... more.
