Batman Arkham Asylum Quick Review

With the recent sale of Batman Arkham Asylum on Steam I figured I would give it a shot. In the past superhero games have been, to put it nicely, lacking. Batman Arkham Asylum however has reset my exceptions. This game not only has nice graphics, but a good, easy to use combat system that actually makes you feel like Batman, and a good amount of gadgets that also help along that Batman feeling. The voice acting was amazing, and story moves along a good pace.  Their are tons of extras to find, some helping along the back story of the asylum and some that are just for us Batman fans to geek out on.  Along with the story, their are different challenge modes that you can unlock where you have timed missions to take out a certain amount of enemies.

Their are some not so great things though. Sometimes the camera is in the worst position possible, especially in combat, and you'll find yourself fighting to get it where you can see what you're fighting. Also the some of the items that you have to scan with your bat vision are hard to scan because the camera you'll have trouble getting the camera to center up on the object your scanning. My biggest complaint is that the length. The story is only about nine hours long. To find all the extra items will take a bit more time but still I can't see it taking more than 12 hours. So if you're looking some epic game that's going to take some time to beat this isn't for you.

Pick this game up. Not on sale it's only like twenty bucks on Steam, and if you've ever used Steam you know they're always having a sale of some sort, especially as the holiday times come closer.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
