Well.. Lets kick this bad boy off!

I’m playing around with a few Betas at the moment which unfortunately I cannot talk about due to NDA’s and whatnot which kind of rules them out for blogging. I did download ‘Batman: Arkham Asylum’ and had a play and that surprised me. I normally try these ‘super hero’ games as a matter of course (Iron Man… that’s bandwidth I’ll never get back) but I was pleasantly surprised with Batman. The stealth mechanics were fun and well as the free-form balls-out combat system. It reminded me of Assassins Creed with believable movement when switching between which targets to twat. Bottom line? well worth the download.

One game which I have kept my eye on from watching some videos on Game trailers, is called Darkest of Days.. A bit of a time-travelling FPS but don’t think Time Splitters. It actually puts you in some of the major battles of the past as a Time Agent to … -generic time plot here- … But what did perk my interest about it was how important people, be it either themselves or their descendants, are outlined blue so as to alert you of their importance. So killing them is a big no-no. Also the developers boast that the engine can handle a few hundred enemies on the screen at once, making the epic battles more EPIC!

I’m really not selling it but I only mention it because there is a demo available (Steam) which I am downloading as I type.

…Oh and if you haven’t tried L4D co-op with some pals, you haven’t lived.
