From an add-on which unleashes all kinds of new beasts to challenge Abraham’s sacrificial son in The Binding of Isaac: The Wrath of the Lamb to Harley Quinn’s two-hour epilogue to Batman: Arkham City‘s storyline, this might be the first week in gaming history where DLC overshadows original content. For better or worse, SEGA’s Vintage Collections offer no opportunities to purchase additional arsenals, meaning players will have to exact their revenge on Golden Axe’s nocturnal potion thieves the old-fashioned way- by cracking open their diminutive craniums with brute force.
The online multiplayer beta for The Binding of Isaac is offline until further notice after someone data-mined the latest build.
GB: "With this feature, we take a look back at the incredible Batman: Arkham City with the aim of analyzing it from the perspective of a 2024 release."
Reviews are finally out for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and the game's Metacritic review score means Marvel still hasn't toppled DC.
The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.
All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?
Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.
You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.
To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.
IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8
Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.
SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.
And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.
'' here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece''
You know that train is never late.
I wonder how Resistance:BS is. I understand that Insomniac didn't have a hand in the development, right?
It was developed by Nihilistic Software. I've hear good things about it and would be surprised if Insomniac lent assets like character and gun models.
Heard Harley Quinn’s Revenge is worth playing. It's really solid DLC according to Greg Miller.
Cannot view this post on either IE or Firefox, though the site displays, report removed as others seem to be able to log in and see it.
Works for me.
DLC overload. Heard the first screen of Dragon's Dogma just trying to sell you DLC. Oh, that Capcom.
