Hanging from the ceiling? A kick to the face? Grabbing a guy by his neck and dangling him off a ledge? All classic Batman, classic, and all in Rocksteady’s upcoming game.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, which only seems to get more awesome with every bit of news–remember, it was written by Batman: The Animated Series veteran Paul Dini and features the vocal talents of B:TAS alums Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy–will allow PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners to embrace their inner Dark Knight this summer.

Co-op: GDC 2009 wrap-up

A portion of a C3 interview with Big Fish Games…

C3: Will more of the Mystery Case Files titles be heading to DS in the future? And what are your thoughts on creating a brand new MCF exclusively for Nintendo’s portable?

BFG: Mystery Case Files is a brand new, exclusive title for the Nintendo DS. You can’t find it anywhere else! If it makes sense to make another Mystery Case Files game on the DS, we will certainly do it.

C3: Point-and-click games have so far proven to work very well on Wii. Are you currently considering bringing with MCF or something similar to either Wii or WiiWare?

BFG: Nothing is planned yet, but we are always exploring options and looking for ways to bring our brand of entertainment to the world. If it aligns with our vision for our properties, we will definitely pursue it.

More Mystery Case Files may hit DS, Wii

The All-Seeing Eye will play an important role in The Conduit. You won’t be able to make it through the game without its help. While that may be a fun mechanic in and of itself, we now find out that the ASE will unlock game bonus content as well.

There will be messages hidden throughout the game, and it’s up to you to use the ASE to hunt them down and translate the alien messages. Doing so will unlock bonuses within The Conduit, but specific details on these bonuses remains to be revealed.

More fuel for the Brutal Legend Wii fire

This article from Jeremy Parish takes a look at the Blu Ray release of Quantum of Solace, and then the gaming history of James Bond. Bond may have the luxury of having the most memorable, high-quality video game ever. Who would have thought that a movie-based game would turn out to be a gaming revolution? Goldeneye’s influence is still felt in the game industry today, and no one has achieved the level of quality set by that title.

Something Old, Something Blu: Quantum of Solace

Remember when we thought the Revolution controller would look like this? Well, okay…none of us really pictured it turning out like this, but there were plenty of mock-ups out there. No one ever thought it would turn out to be what it is now!

Now available on FileShack is the EA Game De-Authorization Management Tool, a 5.42MB download meant to help owners of EA PC games balance install limits.

While the publisher has already released a variety of game-specific de-activation tools, this one serves as a catch-all, scanning your system for any Electronic Arts game released after May 2008 that may have authentication limits, and then providing information on the amount of authorization slots in use and how to disable them.

Games covered by the tool include:

• Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
• Crysis Warhead
• Dead Space
• FIFA Manager 09
• FIFA Soccer 09
• Littlest Pet Shop
• Lord of the Rings Conquest
• Mass Effect
• Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
• Mirror’s Edge
• MySims
• Need for Speed Undercover
• NH…

Hmmm…I wonder where the inspiration came from for this! Even better (and by better I mean worse), this system will play illegally downloaded NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy Advance, Neo-Geo, and certain Capcom CPS1 and 2 arcade system games from a Mini SD card. Nintendo, are you ready to stomp on this?

Short Shelf Life: Video Game Consoles That Failed Miserably

I never thought it was a bad time to be a Wii gamer, but right now is probably one of the best times to love the Wii. We have first party outings on the way, such as Excitebots and Punch-Out!! Wii. We also know that Mario and Zelda are being worked on. That’s what leaves room for third parties to come in with core content like never before. The Conduit, House of the Dead: Overkill, Madworld…they are all signs of one direction Wii gaming is heading.
