New batman Video game : "Batman Arkham Asylum"

For those of you who dont know, batman games have been horrible to say the least. with the exception of an old Nintendo game, with great music :

but in August a new batman game will be released and it seems that it will redeem itself and raise the bar for games based on licensed characters : here is an intro to the game :

joker has plotted to trap batman inside arkham asylum where he must face a plethora of the deadliest enemies he has put into this jail/nuthouse, here is a video of some of the villains :



There are some villains not shown like catwoman, mr. freeze. the penguin, clayface etc perhaps they will leave them for a sequel or as a surprise.

here is some gameplay footage of the game :

"protect the batmobile - gameplay"


play as the Joker on the Playstation 3 version :

and its these off beat humor videos with massive video game references, I can see how if this is not your cup o tea humor wise and you just might not get it if your not up to date on video games. with that said, i think these 2 siblings are hilarious with some cameos with friends and their dad. here's their special peanuts christmas parody to start of your love.. or hate of the burch siblings.(who by the way HATE each other.. love it...



here's some other ones I thought was funny :



I cant embed this next one but here's the link :
it refer's to a game called "Yoshi's cookie" its a tetris like game where if you have 4 cookies lined up yoshi eats them. so keep that in mind...

Resident evil 5 : RUN! I said RUN!!!

Resident evil 4 is definitely one of the best games on the planet, rave reviews, awards and accolades support this claim. don't believe me, here take a look...

My Resident Evil 4 Movie


What set resident evil 4 apart is the new over the should 3rd person view, the now manual camera control. which made the gameplay much more realistic and free also not to be forgotten are the beautifully rendered graphics.

and now, Capcom is working on its 5th installment for the XBOX360 and Playstation 3 (hopefully for the PC soon as well, and I am sure It will cause great anxiety, stress, and nightmares... in.. a good way. lol)

Resident Evil 5 Trailer :
Resident Evil 5 (3rd trailer)


I cant wait to see the final product, I'm sure it will be nothing short of awe-inspiring jaw droppingly gorgeousness. yes I make up words. lol

This is a behind the scenes, making of Resident evil 5 video, packed with a magazine in Japan, but I saved you the trip and having to buy a magazine. enjoy! (its in japanese, BUT, it does have realtime gameplay footage, and it looks amazing)

Street Fighter 4

some of you may be familiar with capcom with one of its most popular titles "Street Fighter 2" , for years now, after the release of Street Fighter 3 : Third strike (one of the most beautifully 2D animated video games I have yet to see) People have been dying to see what capcom could deliver in the next rendition in the Street Fighter series now with the new "next-generation" consoles out. I personally thought capcom would stay true to the traditional frame by frame 2 dimensional animation style. But they decided to go 3D. Alot of you may not care, as long as the game looks good, but consider that, Street Fighter was a series that held true to the traditional hand drawn animation that led it to be one of the greatest games on earth. So to see capcom flake out and make their flagship title go 3D is definitely dissapointing. BUT, I will admit, the game does look kick ass.


Here is a look at Street Fighter 3 : Third strike.

Oh, what fantastic next gen hand drawn animated fighting Street fighter 4 COULD have been....


Sorry I couldnt find any better quality for the game, it doesnt do it justice.
I'll upload one when I find it.
