News::Batman Arkham Knight Looks Like Ben Affleck

The big story of the day and possible the week is the worldwide debut launch of the new Batman Arkham Knight video game set for launch later this year on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. On closer inspection of the super awesome trailer revealed earlier today, Maya Mayfield from PS4.sx couldn't help but notice a slight uncanny resemblance of the video games super hero to that of Ben Affleck the actor playing the role in the new Batman Hollywood movie. What do you guys think. Can you see the resemblance too?

News::South Park: The Stick Of Truth Review | TheGameJar

Jennifer Taylor - "When I was in secondary school whispers of an adult cartoon shown late at night, on a channel my family didnt own, began to surface. Quotes in a fat voice were thrown across the classroom to a few giggles amongst those that had been fortunate enough to witness last nights episode. As the popularity grew, toys of small, round-faced children began emerging from backpacks, and the use of phrases like donkey raping shit eater became the social norm. This is how I remember South Park in my younger years."

News::Review: Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare - MKGaming

MKGaming - "Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare was really a game that came out of nowhere, if anyone tells you theyve always wanted a third-person shooting variant of the tower defence game then theyre lying. Instead of sitting high above the action, watching the chaos unfold youre now in the hot seat, moving your plants or zombies around, with a much more direct impact on the outcome of the match."

News::30plusgamer Review: South Park: The Stick of Truth

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the usual writers for the TV show, finally played a much larger role in the development of this game along with Obsidian Entertainment and South Park Digital Studios, and it most definitely shows. From the witty banter South Park fans all know and love to an abundance of fresh lyrical genius, South Park: The Stick of Truth will frequently have you on the floor laughing. Ubisoft was smart to jump on this when THQ went under, leaving them with what will likely be one of the most highly sought after games of 2014.

News::GamerZines | Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare Review - A Shooter for the Compost Heap?

GamerZines writes: In many ways Popcaps shooter feels to us like a free-to-play experience wrapped in a substantially less controversial one-time-fee wrapper. All the customisation items for characters, card-based progression and multiplayer-only framework scream to us that this at one point or another was a free-to-play title, but after Plants vs Zombies 2 caused a considerable backlash Popcap perhaps changed this games business model. We have no basis for that theory, but its one that rattled through our brains throughout our time with Garden Warfare. Ironically taking this release free-to-play could in fact be the best way to save it, by ensuring servers are populated and allowing players to progress their characters in a way that makes sense to them, either buy paying some cash or grinding out rewards. The twenty strong development team behind Garden Warfare deserves credit for bringing one of Popcaps most beloved franchises to the competitive multiplayer shooter genre...

Whether you love it, or find it overrated, Resident Evil 4 undoubtedly revolutionized the way we play survival horror games with its shoulder-cam perspective. Granted, Capcom kind of went overboard in subsequent sequels tipping the scales more in favor of action than horror but they can take solace in knowing that they once struck a perfect balance."

And lets just say, its a game that was worth the wait. Players start off creating their character who just so happens to be the new kid in South Park. Theres no reason given at the beginning for why your family decided to move to this quiet mountain town, but based on the dialogue, it has to be due to something bad happening in their old town. After creating your character, and giving him a Way Jersey spray tan (if you so choose), you then set off on an adventure that takes place in a living, breathing re-creation of South Park, Colorado.

At that point, the games incredible art design comes into play and it genuinely appears as though you are watching an episode of the TV show. I give huge kudos to Ubisoft, Obsidian, and Matt Stone & Trey Parker for not trying to turn the franchise into some sort of a first-person experience."

GIZORAMA - Hearing the name Shadowrun evokes a lot of memories in players, for a lot of different reasons. Theres the ever-present tabletop RPG system, sure, but many gamers may recall the two very good (and surprisingly different) SNES and Genesis RPGs that surfaced in the 16-bit era. Still others may recall, with some sadness, the ill-fated Xbox 360 multiplayer-only shooter set in the Shadowrun universe. Perhaps coasting off the failure of this previous game, a startup studio called Harebrained Schemes acquired the license and created Shadowrun Returns, a gloriously old-fashioned point-and-click turn-based RPG that sprang to life after one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns in memory. Shadowrun Returns was released to pretty favorable reviews, but the developers were quick to acknowledge any perceived shortcomings with the title, and decided to try and address some of them with the new expansion, Shadowrun: Dragonfall.

News::Review: South Park: The Stick of Truth Politically Incorrect | DualShockers

The failures of South Park: The Stick of Truths predecessors were based in their inability to capture the essence of the show. The look, the feel, the writing South Park meshes them all in a unique fidelity that is unmatched by any other comedic animation, and has never been realized in any of the games. Because of this, the game is so good that it has the power to nearly exorcise any memory that there were any other South Park games prior to its existence. Despite this, the game does not come close to perfection, or even greatness. As South Park, it is pure excellence, but as a video game, it has a tendency to fall flat on its face.

News::South Park: The Stick of Truth review | Eurogamer

Eurogamer : " As the credits roll on South Park: The Stick of Truth, the big question isn't why Ubisoft would choose to censor certain scenes for tender European eyes, but how they censored it. This is a game that doesn't so much cross the line as utterly erase it in a blitzkrieg of piss, poop, farts, profanity and over-the-top violence. In the midst of such gleefully offensive mayhem, working out how far constitutes "too far" is an utterly pointless exercise. It is, in other words, an absolutely note-perfect adaptation of the legendarily scatological TV show into an interactive form. Previous South Park games have imitated the crass humour and borrowed the catchphrases, but missed the deeper layers of satire and the odd sweetness that binds the foul-mouthed whole together. Characters said familiar things, farts were farted, but the dirty, witty soul was missing."

Adults may know it as LARPing (Live Action Role Playing (like in the movie Role Models), but to the kids of South Park, theyre simply playing outside.
