Batman (pt2 review)

Ok, my post yesterday talked about my first experience playing the new batman game - Arkham Asylum. (official site here)

and now this is pt. 2 which i'll go into more detail.

First off, the demo was only 1 mode - Challenge mode. Since the game isn't fully finished there were a little bugs in the graphics. That will get polished when it is done. The demo was only for PS3 (i'm looking fwd to the xbox demo). A friend and manager of gamestop told me they just got the demo in and I ran strait to it.

The fighting system is the main thing i was most impressed by. 1 button is worth a thousand words... errr ass kicking more like it. Its amazing how just the press of 1 button can do so much. They made it very simple and very enjoyable. Its never the same punch/kick either and its how you use the controller. Once you get the hang of it you can stack up a huge combo just using that 1 button and knowing how to move correctly. There is another button which is just amazing, the counter attack button, it is flawless. With that then pressing the normal attack button you can do so much. The fighting is really fast pace and nonstop so you have to keep on your toes and always remember to use your counter strike because you'll be facing against groups of bad guys and they all attack you from all sides. Again its all how you move in the game.

Its kind of hard to explain.

Lets say this bad guy comes up from behind and tries to kick you, press the counter button, you'll grab his leg turn around and back fist him (it varies) then throw him, you then, while in the same motion, can more to another guy and then hit him, and you can do this nonstop till they are all down. It sound easy enough but you can get in trouble if you aren't paying attention to guys around you. anytime your moving around someone can come up behind, side etc.. and get you.

This is the most exciting game i've ever played. I'm impressed how well this turned out. Again i don't know how the full game plays but the Challenge mode is amazing. BTW this mode is you in a prison block area fighting groups of guys (each time getting larger and smarter even weapons as you go)

You don't fight against any named villains, i'm very curios how the fighting them would be like.

There is also different modes you can select that allow you to see differently. I didn't play around with that to much, but one mode is a x-ray mode you can pin point the person's bone while attacking.

and of course you can throw your bat stars etc.. i didn't play with that to much either. I was to busy melee fighting, that's just how awesome it is, you forget about everything else lol

The game is on xbox, ps3 and pc. The CE is a bit expensive ($99.99 on xbox, you can get it cheaper off amazon link is below)

PC gaming...




Well, i've been really bored at work. My pc here sucks but its good enough to run the older games... I loaded the classic FPS of all time - DOOM. Man its been awhile since I played this. I spent hours on this when I was younger. Me and a friend loaded it on all the school PCs lol we also loaded some other like Wolfenstein and Raise of the Trade (that was a awesome multiplayer fps back in the day, we played that everyday on the school's PC lol) The best thing about back then, our teachers didn't care. They didn't know anything about these type of games. We had huge LAN games going on with every kid in PC class. Good times...

Back to the present, so yeah I loaded it on this PC. Its weird seeing DOS start up. I bet the majority of kids now days have no idea what DOS is lol. I've been playing DOOM on here for the past couple of days on and off. It sure looks different now I go back to it. The graphics were cutting edge back then... not so now.

Because of this all I decided to dust off DOOM 3 and loaded it on my PC. I didn't get why they called it DOOM 3 when it was a remake of DOOM. It gave it way better graphics and a much scarier environment.

I really loved DOOM as you can tell, and still do lol DOOM opened the FPS world to me.

Well, moving on. I've been playing WoW a lot more again. I'm almost 77 (good god its taking forever) I feel kind of like a n00b and shamed because i've been playing WoW since '04. I should have a few lv80s now... but i did take a break. Now i'm rested and back at full speed. I should be lv80 in no time and get my Tier 7 gear.

For my zombie buddies

i guess i should get back to work (if you call me sitting on my ass looking up stuff on the net work...) I really didn't want to wake up today... This job can be easy but its boring and you get treated like crap. I need something else...
