Batman: the Telltale games series

If you played one of the previous titles of Telltale games then you know how good these games can be. I mean just look at the Walking Dead game, the Wolf Among Us and the Game of Thrones game. These are all great games with interesting stories and characters, but what does this mean for the Batman game? Well it means that there will be a bigger concentration on talking instead of fighting, but that won't make this a boring game. I think that this gives you a unique perspective on the life of Bruce Wayne and Batman, something we haven't seen before in a game.


You play as Bruce Wayne and Batman?


Yes, during the day you play as Bruce Wayne and at night you play as Batman. This probably means that things are connected, so things you do as Bruce Wayne might influence your adventures as Batman and vice versa. So you can expect once more choices that will have a huge impact on the game and not everyone will like those choices. If this means you can make new friends and/or enemies remains to be seen but I doubt you can chill with the Joker if you say all the right things.


Are there other familiar names in the game?


From what I saw there are more familiar faces in the game. For example Alfred, Commisioner Gordon, Harvey Dent, Vicky Vale and Catwoman. How big their roles are in this game remains to be seen but I bet that I can expect some interesting conversations and maybe even fight scenes with some of these characters. Looking at Harvey Dent I'd say that this takes place not that far in the career of Batman so maybe there's no Robin (yet), but then again what do I know? I guess what we really want to know if we can flirt with Catwoman as Batman or with Vicky Vale as Bruce Wayne, probably beat up the Joker and do some cool stunts in fight scenes or maybe even driving around in the Batmobile.


Why should you be excited about this game?


Because it gives you a different look on Batman and the life he leads. You make important decisions and those decisions will affect everyone around you. How the Bruce Wayne part will be that important remains to be seen but I'm definitely interested in finding out. Because who wouldn't want to play the billionaire playboy? As you can expect from Telltale games it will most likely be a good story with some interesting choices, hopefully the choices won't be as intense as in the Walking Dead game but then again I wouldn't be opposed to some tough decisions. Episode one becomes available for download on the 2nd of August.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...

Mortal Kombat X isn´t just another fighting game?

You´ve probably seen the announce trailer of Mortal Kombat X, then you probably also know that it shows two familiar characters fighting against eachother. At that point you´re probably still thinking that it´s just more of the same but with a better coat of paint, I understand that pessimist look and it´s not often wrong. But from what I´ve heard about Mortal Kombat X is that it´s going to be more than just a new game in the Mortal Kombat game series. What´s new? Apparently there will be more fighting styles for one character, giving everyone his or her own favourite style to use against opponents. There was something familiar in another Mortal Kombat game where they also had weapons in a fighting style, but this seems to go a bit deeper and more unique. Of course these are just words at this point, nothing has been proven just yet! But this would make it more fun to play against other people and see who masters the ultimate style, but I´m certain that there is a counter style f...
