Batman: Arkham Asylum

The games story is about Batman returning The Joker to Arkham Asylum. When things suddenly take a twist as he arrives, the Bat soon realizes that it was all a setup. The Joker intended to go back to what he calls "home" so he can release all the criminals Batman has put away, to destroy him. It's story is basically you being in what would be considered Batman's hell. When it comes to gameplay, it's awesome, the fighting style is crisp and unique along with its graphics. The story is also sharp and exciting, as you encounter some of Batman's greatest foes. There is lots of fun to be had with this game that's for sure. This is as close as you will ever get to feeling like Batman, the developers took there time to give you a truly awesome experience. If there was one thing I'd complain about it would just be that the game isn't long enough. It is with out a doubt the best Batman game ever created.

Overlord 2

The game builds upon its predecessor though not to perfection. Nonetheless there is a pretty amusing sex scene and the game offers a variety of customization. It plays through ok with some repetitive seeming gameplay while still having its comedic tone.

Prototype

Think of this game as The Hulk Ultimate Destruction with some new paint and added work. Prototype is one of the most fun games you'll find today. You are a fuckin beast in this game, you get to demolish what ever the fuck you want, its great!, the only real drawback is the games graphics which you'd hope would have more detail.

inFAMOUS

Infamous is a sand-box style game (open-world). You play as Cole, a messenger who gets into an accident and comes out with electric powers. Infamous offers upgrades to your powers that truly make you feel powerful, from lightning bolts to lightning grenades along with a karma system that is amazingly fun. The controls are as fluid and simple as anyone can ask for. This game is just pure fun to play through, especially more then once.

Bionic Commando

Bionic Commando takes place several years after the original. Like it's predecessor the game revolves around the main character Nathan's bionic arm. The controls are difficult at first and will take time and patience before you find yourself swinging around wildly. How the gameplay works around the arm is really fun, you have the ability to grab enemies, launch cars, and grapple onto pretty much anything. You'll be able to travel large distances once you get the hang of it. One frustrating thing about the game is collecting items, items will not be counted as collected until you reach a checkpoint whilst having it, if you happen to die before a checkpoint it is no longer collected and you must get it again. It's multiplayer doesn't do justice either seeing as how it's pitted more towards run and gun combat though as mentioned earlier the games emphasis is on the bionic arm.

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 is an action packed game that as in past Resident Evil games has you stuck in the middle of a virus outbreak. The game offers some really fun co-op both offline and online. It's considered by some to be Resident Evil 4 with updated graphics, which it can feel like, the thing is this isn't a bad thing since it was an amazing game, it just makes it feel like nothing new has been added. One major complaint that most people have with this game is the fact that you cannot move and shoot, apparently its to make everything more intense. For some this really sucks considering we all wanna run and shoot but for others it helps it stay true to the series which not much of this game does. You'll find its not the kind of Resident Evil game that your used to, it's more a fun action game then a survival horror one. It doesn't truly scare you like the past games did.

The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest

The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest allows you to play through two campaigns being either the good guys or the bad guys. It is obviously heavily influenced by Star Wars: Battlefront. From the start of the game you will only have access to the good campaign, once done you unlock the bad one. The main gameplay for both is the same, the only thing that changes is the characters in which you will be using. Though your given the option of picking between a mage, warrior, archer, or scout, its exactly the same in both campaigns which doesn't do much for those looking for variety. Throwing combos sucks since pressing buttons doesn't mean you will get the response you want, instead one move must be completely finished until another one is performed, this takes a lot a way from the feeling this game should have. The game does have online, but only has 4 modes and from the matches we've played it was more just war then strategy, and wasn't much fun.
