Rockstar Games has been amazing at making dark, and mature gaming experiences this generation as Max Payne 3 is no exception. It is arguably their darkest and most gritty game yet and that is what makes it one experience you should not miss this year.
Red Arrow gets an intervention — along with a whole other surprise — as Superboy and Blue Beetle relive the Justice League’s first adventure. Plus, guess what became of Kid Flash and Artemis.
Marvel’s The Avengers made another 55.1 million over the weekend, dropping only 47% in it’s third weekend at the box office. It reached $450 million in 17 days, a feat that The Dark Knight reached in 27 days. The Avengers is Disney’s most successful film, and the fourth most successful film, worldwide, of all time! Which comic book team is better, The Avengers or the Justice League?
Deathstroke takes Sins of the Father to a whole familiar but touching level… Well, as touching as Deathstroke gets.
Charlie Österlund battles warlocks, mages, kobolds and the addictive nature of the turn-based strategy game Warlock: Master of the Arcane
Skullkickers is a fantasy series about a pair of adventuring mercenaries. Skullkickers #14 is about a cowboy fighting a tentacle monster. More silly things happen in the absolute best way.
A while back, Bethesda announced that it would be publishing a game made by Arkane Studios by the name of Dishonored. As the first big title to be released under the Bethesda moniker since Skyrim, and first fresh IP outside of the Elder Scrolls or Fallout universes to emerge under the banner since Brink, the game has a lot to live up to (and perhaps apologize for).
After being hinted at and setup over four years worth of superhero movies, the unprecedented collaboration paid off big time (+$200 million in 3 days big), and now Marvel is prepping for phase 2 of theatrical master plan. Most of us here at Playeraffinity were as thrilled with the first outing as everyone else was, but we’ve got a few suggestions to make sure this ultimate crossover wasn’t just a one-hit wonder. This is definitely the most important factor determining the franchises’ future; the actors have all signed on for multi-film deals but further guidance from writer and director Joss Whedon is still in question. While Marvel will definitely be trying to get some of its lesser known heroes into their own pictures before Avengers 2, that shouldn’t limit the roster to just folks with a film under their belts. By the time The Avengers rolls into its last act and the team has finally assembled, it’s hard to imagine anyone or anything stopping them, whether it’s an alien army or a malevolent demigod. Putting them up in Avenger mansion would be a definite downgrade from a flying fortress, but the Tower is easily the more stylish option. Watching Hulk steer a robo-centipede into Grand Central Station was pretty cool, but there’s only so many ways to blow-up a major metropolitan city. Moving the action out of New York and even off-planet would help capture the immense scope many of The Avengers’ missions have. Thanos is an interesting, extremely deadly villain in the Marvel universe who would present an unprecedented threat to The Avengers, but he’d also be a tricky adversary to pull off correctly.
How epic are the Epic Kills? Perhaps too epic.
Prototype 2 was released earlier this month from Radical Entertainment to mostly positive reviews. If you have picked up the game and your having problems with some of those pesky collectables, look no further!
