Yeah that was also the main reason for RE Zero not being as good as the older games. That, and the ridiculous inventory system. And the horrible backstory.

Crap, I'd forgotten about that. Storing crap in a magical chest that had wormholes to other chests.

DC Comics’ upcoming Batman: Arkham City comic series is the recently announced bridge between Batman: Arkham Asylum and its sequel Batman: Arkham City.

The six issue mini-series is slated to fill fans in on what happened between the games. The comic picks up roughly one year after the events of Arkham Asylum and finds Quincy Sharp, the former Arkham warden, being elected mayor of Gotham City.


Sharp’s first act as mayor is to shut the asylum down and establish a new maximum security “home” for Arkham’s residents, Arkham City, near the heart of Gotham City.


The city takes a decidedly new approach to dealing with its residents, allowing them to roam free and do whatever they like so long as they keep it within the city’s walls. What could go wrong? Oh wait, did we mention that the new mayor appoints Hugo Strange, a genius psychologist who knows Batman’s true identity, to run the joint?


The comic’s story is being handled by Paul Dini, the acclaimed writer who penned both games in addition to working on comics and the animated series starring the iconic hero.


Dini’s encyclopedic knowledge of the dark knight and his intimate understanding of the game’s story should ensure the comic series will feature teases of what to expect from the upcoming game. We were able to get a hold of the first five pages of the first issue of the series, which kicks off in May when the first two issues ship, and continue monthly. Take a look at how the story kicks off, and enjoy the fantastic art by Batman: Arkham City concept artist Carlos D’Anda, who knows his way around a comic thanks to his time working at DC Comics/Wildstorm. Check back for more on Batman: Arkham City in the months to come as it heads towards its fall release on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

So he is the father of his own grandson? That sounds like something out of Escher's mind.

I promised GG I would get Goldeneye if he came back, i didn't say when though. It sounds great, so I will get it in time.

Revelations is said to be more of a mix of old and new RE but Capcom says that about every game and its never true so we shall see.

Just picked up Katamari Forever last night. Need to get back to my non-violent gameplay. As sad as it is, I noticed my stress levels increasing while I was playing Bulletstorm and WWE Allstars. Too much action and competitiveness.  Need to get back to my zen games.  So this and Crazy Taxi are going to have to take care of me for now. Got to tell you, I'd really love a new Harvest Moon for the PS3.

Violent games raising stess levels? What the fuck!? That's just a bunch of mamby-pamby cock-sucking bullshit! I need to go break something. ARRRRGG!!

Funny thing is, it's not the violence that gets me stressed or easily aggitated. It's the fucking trophies man. I'm just not real good at those games and I can't unlock the trophies so I get pissed off and start yelling and getting mad - which of course leads me to beating my wife and kids. I suppose that's the sign of a really good game though.

Revelations is Q1 2012 now.

Ubisoft announce Petz Fantasy 3D

Details: Ubisoft today announced Petz Fantasy™ 3D for the Nintendo 3DS, the first Nintendo 3DS title from the #1 handheld pet-simulation brand of 2010. Set to hit store shelves this summer, Petz Fantasy 3D is a fresh new nurturing game for the new Nintendo 3DS platform, allowing players to take care of incredibly realistic, surprising and adorable magical pets in an all-new way.





Players will discover and take care of their fantasy pets in an immersive, whimsical 3D environment full of floating islands, magical lands and snow-topped mountains. The game will allow players to nurture magical eggs that hatch into surprising pets, such as unicorns and red pandas, each with their own personality and magical powers. Each fantasy pet will react to players in 3D just like real pets, by licking the screen when players pet them to jumping up and down when players give them their favorite food. Bonding with Petz has never been so realistic. Players can also teach their Fantasy Petz magical powers and even train them to transform into ordinary household objects to keep them a secret!






As players progress in the game, they can hatch and collect more and more adorable and lifelike 3D fantasy Petz. Each pet requires love and care to help them grow, including feeding them their favorite foods, petting them and cleaning them in a lifelike kids’ bathroom as they try to hide from you.



Other features include fun new mini-games and augmented reality features that use the Nintendo 3DS camera to decrypt codes on cards and discover new 3D, realistic creatures, outfits and accessories.



Petz Fantasy is the perfect game for the imaginative child looking for a magical pet to take care of.
