I haven't finished the game but it's interesting to me that Arkham Knight isn't even the main villain. He's just a pawn of Scarecrow, which makes it odd that the game is called Arkham Knight.
Also, I'm pretty dumb, so I haven't figured out who it is. Though I have a guess.

No, he's showed up in my car, too.

Yeah this set the game off on the wrong foot for me. You already have to really suspend your disbelief with all the Riddler stuff in these Arkham games, but adding in the fact that he makes goddamn racetracks now? Even within the world of the game, that makes no sense.
Which isn't to say the car "puzzles" aren't

I'm only about midway through the game now, but I'd have to say it's better than City thus far. The story is really pretty clever; they got back to the psychological stuff of Asylum and the game is better for it. They also masterfully tackled a very iconic scene in Batman mythology, and have created a few scenes that

Without spoiling anything, you may have missed that this is very much the entire point of the game. There's a reason for that.

This. For this alone, I'm a fan of Origins.
The Joker stuff in general is superbly done in that one; I was afraid Knight wouldn't be able to top it but it does, rather cleverly, too.
Origins is a perfectly good game; I would argue a somewhat tighter one than City.

Crap. Came here to make that same joke.

Yeah, you know what's not cool? A bunch of college kids hanging out with a dog in a hippie van.

Fucking…no. Just stop. If you're going to do a Looney Tunes show, you can't draw it flat like that. The joy of those cartoons came from the *animation.* There were no writers. Just animators, who knew how to get the best, funniest, cleverest stuff out of the medium. The Looney Tunes shorts that everyone knows and

Tower Control will be interesting. I know people (well, reviewers from conglomerate websites like IGN, Gamespot and Game Informer, mostly) were complaining about 'lack of content,' but I really dug how simple the game was. Two online modes and a single-player campaign. The brilliance came not just from the simplicity

Yeah pretty pissed that Scott (not Scott) is out recording AV Club crap but not a new episode of UTU2TM.

Aw man, I was hoping they would be CGI.

Look, he's not saying boobs are or are not awesome, he's just stating his personal beliefs.

Is this an episode of I Love Films?

Would that this hoodie were a time hoodie!

Yeah, it takes all the strategy of FPS games, removes the violence, yet is somehow more fun.

I think Man of Steel could have worked if they would have done something different with Jonathan Kent. Having him die in a tornado trying to save a dog or whatever instead of dying of a heart attack was just…dumb. And it didn't help that Kevin Costner made the character come across as a sociopath.
One of the main

Gotta be Splatoon for me. I was very impressed by The Witcher 3, but if I'm going for what game has brought me the greatest joy? Splatoon. It's an instant Nintendo classic.
I'm also really enjoying Arkham Knight so far, but I agree with the general consensus that its reliance on the Batmobile is a bit much. When it

“Mr. Trump stands by his statements on illegal immigration, which are accurate. NBC is weak, and like everybody else is trying to be politically correct— that is why our country is in serious trouble.”
Can we just come together and find a definition to the phrase "politically correct?" Or better yet get rid of it?

This is ignorance, though. Batman in particular has been host to some of the greatest stories ever told in the comic book medium, mostly "for adults". Regardless of how he was conceived, he has become a character that can be dark, lighthearted or anywhere in between. You're acting as if Batman vs. Superman is the
