Batman: Arkham City Rewind

Hey gang, sorry for the long hiatus, but I'm back and better than ever! I couldn't be more stoked about the upcoming Batman: Arkham City. Asylum was one of the best games of late 2009 and from all accounts City is improving on almost everything. Check out IGN's recent Rewind Theatre for all of the hidden goodies in the most recent trailer.

Halo Combat Evolved Remake Coming Holiday 2011

According to Joystiq, an anonymous source reported that Microsoft will be releasing a visually overhauled version of their 2001 smash hit, Halo Combat Evolved. According to their source, the game will not only be updated visually but will also include online co-op.

What's odd is that this much rumored remake isn't being developed by Microsoft's 343 Industries but instead by Saber Interactive, the people behind TimeShift and a number of other lesser known games.

Bulletstorm Demo Now Available!

I'm a bit late on this news: the Bulletstorm demo was released on Xbox Live last Tuesday. If you haven't given it a try yet, I would suggest you do so.

At only 5-10 minutes long, the demo seems a bit short but it does a great job giving you a taste of what's going to be in the full retail game. If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard of Bulletstorm, the game may be difficult to jump right into. This is not your standard FPS. The game is built entirely on finding the most brutal and creative way to kill the enemy. The more brutal the kill, the higher number of points you'll be awarded. Pretty basic but as soon found out, it's also incredibly addicting.

I've only spent about an hour or so with the game but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this game kicks some major ass. If you're like me and are in need of a non-war based FPS, then Bulletstorm may just be the answer.

Check back for a full written review of Bulletstorm after it launches on February 22nd.

PSP Phone Leaked

I may be the only person that feels this way, but I'm starting to get sick of these Sony "leaks". I'm even starting to think that they are leaking the pictures themselves. Either way, take a look at the photos and let me know what you think. Let's hope Sony throws us a bone at CES. Enjoy.

OnLive Teams With Vizio

OnLive, the provider of streaming video games and content, has now teamed with Vizio to provide their service on the upcoming Via TV and Vizio blu ray players. Along with this announcement, online is also offering a steep discount on their existing equipment. Originally priced at $99, the OnLive game system and controller has been discounted to $66.

Alright, now for my $.02. The buzz word in the past three years has been "digital distribution" of games. Although I believe we are probably another few years from this being a reality in the concole world, streaming games could be a viable interim step. The problem is that hardcore gamers will never replace their console with streaming content. Couple this with the fact that OnLive exclusively targets adult gamers and I see little reason to be optimistic. Will the Vizio partnership increase OnLive Subscribers? Yes. Will it be enough to significantly grow market share? Absolutely not.
