Batman Arkham City Viral Audio Tapes Hint At Story

Players and Bat-fans alike won’t be hurting for classic villains, with the Joker, Riddler, and even Penguin and Solomon Grundy all announced. But among that kind of roster, it would take one heck of a twist to bring a relative unknown to the top of the villain pile. But that’s the task that Dr. Hugo Strange, the new warden of Arkham Asylum is taking on. After Strange’s role was confined to audio logs of patient interviews in Arkham Asylum, it seems that Arkham City will be showing just what all of that psychiatric experimentation has led to....

Battlefield 3 Can T Top Call Of Duty On Xbox Live Activity Charts

But what gamers might not know is just how much gamers stuck with Call of Duty, even with a worthy competitor in Battlefield 3 to sway their gameplay time. According to Major Nelson’s Xbox Live activity numbers, Battlefield 3 has been beat out each week it’s been available by first Black Ops and even Modern Warfare 2, and then Modern Warfare 3.

Battlefield 5 Not Releasing In 2015

However, the analysis firm of Stern Agee doesn’t see it that way. They believe that while Electronic Arts might have originally envisioned Battlefield 5 as a 2015 release they have changed gears for three key reasons. Before delving into those reasons, though, it’s important to point out that the 2015 release date is merely an assumption on Stern Agee’s part. Thus far, neither EA nor DICE has made any indication that they planned to release Battlefield 5 in 2015; the firm was simply operating under the assumption that Battlefield is now an annual franchise....

Battlefield Hardline Hotwire Multiplayer Mode Trailer

Both EA and Visceral Games welcomed a wide range of reactions when Battlefield Hardline was revealed, not only due to the fact that Battlefield 4 was still broken in the minds of many, but that the game bears little resemblance to past entries in the series. Focusing the action on city streets instead of distant battlefields - and between police and criminals instead of warring armies - is a clear departure from DICE’s past work, but the new developers aren’t intent on simply making the action look different....
