I'm Batman. Though technically I suppose I'm actually...

I just want to pitch in here and say that this review is spot-on. Coming in, I steeled myself that at worst, it was going to be an expansion of City, and I'd be fine with that. Well...it is. Almost all of it - mechanically, but also in terms of architecture - is directly taken from the...

"Can't we find the minds to take us closer to the heart..." Assassin's Creed has always been strongly in the "This is a game" camp, so it ultimately won't change too much. Liberation also did "You're working for Abstergo Entertainment" to...results. I give it a 'meh'. I favour characters...

To my dry sense of humour, this is hilarious. That stormtrooper entry was side-splitting.

I do mean actual namedrops. To wit, just from this article: Mirror Entity [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=141818] (as above), Polymorph [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=191380] There's a difference from a generic, like...

Wait, so does Hearthstone really have so many name-drops of Magic cards? That right there might get annoying. As a guy who is already into Magic Online, I've probably got my fix covered there. I'll very likely try out Hearthstone somewhere down the line, but it seems to fit the WOW TCG...

Why do I get the feeling that the story of this game goes about like this: "Alright, so we've got this awesome tech, and sweet animation, and we've got this cool world. This is great!" "So how's it going to play?" "I...don't...what?" "Uh, gameplay?" "...Gameplay?"

Several of those were uncanny resemblances. To be fair, none of the characters have outstandingly characteristic features, but still...

I need to find that clip of Jeremy Clarkson drifting while reading...

The old Palm Pilot user in me is showing. "Wait, so the 5C is the version with the colour screen?"

Correction: You can't beat our meat! But you can tenderize it! That was...entirely off the wall. *Sees Andy credit.* Yep. Yep.

Yep. This is looking like a solid pickup for my Vita. I mean, if the original Arkham series started with strong inspiration from the Metroidvania style, putting it into the hands of the guys who made the Metroid Prime series...seems strong.

And still no second analog. Seriously. Where is the second analog stick?

In reality, the ski lift is probably there to recreate the Swiss institute from In Her Majesty's Secret Service, to brainwash beautiful weapon and send them out into the world with civilization-slaughtering weapons. 'Cause really, how else are you going to do that, huh?

Sly Cooper was particularly poorly handled, to be fair... Seeing as somebody who has, at the moment, just a Vita and a PC, and the PC is kinda old, this is pretty awesome. Borderlands 2 on the Vita is just about the perfect combination.
