The Caped Crusader Returns!
The Dark Knight returns to the wonderful world of video games with Batman: Arkham Asylum. Since 1986, the better half of the dynamic duo has appeared in a variety of games. Unfortunately, none of them were very good. The devs at Rocksteady Studios hope to break the chain and finally bring us something worth playing in the Gotham universe. But with only one other, fairly unknown, title under their belts, can they deliver?

From the Sprite Database.If the demo is any indication of what can be expected in the final product, then yes, they have delivered and quite dashingly if I do say so myself.
Afterthoughts: Fallout 3 ‘Mothership Zeta’
The fifth and possibly final add-on for the world of Fallout 3 takes the Lone Wanderer up out of the wastes and into the stratosphere.
Upon hearing the rogue alien radio signal, a new location is added to the map. Discovering the location yeilds a crashed UFO, but without delay the wanderer is immediately abducted, imprisoned, and tasked with finding an exit back to the wasteland, all while battling the hostile inhabitants of the ship.
So begins Mothership Zeta…
Machinarium
Machinarium is a new point and click puzzle/adventure game by the indie devs at Amanita Design. Their previous web-based titles, Samorost and Samorost 2, were subject to much acclaim.
“A little robot who’s been thrown out to the scrap yard behind the city must return and confront the Black Cap Brotherhood and save his robot-girl friend.”
I just recently discovered Machinarium. After watching the wonderful trailer I immediately had to seek out information on the developers. Though their games are short with simple gameplay, the surreal graphics and original score make them very unique. Once you see this game in motion it really is like beautiful art come to life.
