Batman: Arkham Asylum to Feature Diverse Cast of Batman Villains?

Next year Rocksteady Studios and Eidos will be releasing Arkham Asylum. The basic idea, from what I can gather, is that there's some sort of problem at Arkham Asylum, where some of Gotham's worst baddies are housed (err...held against their will). The Joker, the Riddler, Killer Croc, Two Face and a host of other Batman villains will be supposedly let loose and Batman will have to deal with them all, the Joker being the leader of the pack. Also, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Harley Quinn will make an appearance.

I'm curious to see how this one's gonna go, to be honest. From the screenshots I've seen, it looks to be a darker Batman title, much like the Nolan films are. Also, I read that Batman will be more of a detective in this game, which should be an interesting return to the Dark Knight's roots.

Keep your eye on this one, kids.

LittleBigPlanet: Re-Defining Community Gaming

I've never been a huge community gaming, downloadable content type of gamer. I'm more than convinced that this month's LittleBigPlanet will change that for me. Mixing a Tim Burton-eque style and fairly linear gameplay, LBP aims to take players to another world, where getting to the finish line is but a secondary mission. The first? Be creative with your strategies, utilizing the uniquely constructed environments that you very well may have created yourself. And that's what is so exciting about LBP, this idea that your entire world can be constructed creatively and shared with the rest of the world. It may very well revolutionize how PS3 gamers interact with each other. At least, I hope it does.

What will I be doing come this November? Playing EndWar, no doubt.

I've always been a fan of war RTS, though not in the typical sense. I've never really enjoyed the Command and Conquer franchise, though Generals a few years back blew my mind (true to my form though, it was unlike the previous or following C&Cs.)

This November Tom Clancy's EndWar comes out, and I really can't wait. I haven't been too excited about a game in awhile. Granted, I can't wait for the endearing nature of LittleBigPlanet, or the sure fire Call of Duty World at War. But EndWar brings something different to the table. I've never used a blutooth headset for a video game before. Hell, I even think it's stupid to use a headset in a video game. But now, I'm finding myself wanting to buy a headset just so I can play EndWar hands free. At least to try it out.

Am I alone in this, or are you all really juiced for this game?
