Batman Arkham City Review


How does one enhance an already incredible game formula? All things considered, Rocksteady Games have succeeded with the arrival of Batman Arkham City. The Arkham storyline starts a couple of months after the Batman Asylum plot closes. The now Gotham City leader, Quincy Sharp has moved Gotham's crooks to a blockaded region inside the heart of the city... presently Arkham City, run by Dr. Hugo Strange. Clearly, this stands out just enough to be noticed, and of course, Batman must research what happens inside its dividers.

Rayman Legends Review


It's true I was late to the party but still it's difficult to believe it's been just under two years since Rayman made his spectacular come back in 2011's masterful platformer Rayman: Origins. The title was an awesome return to form for the limbless wonder after a prolonged spell of absence during which time the Raving Rabbids were left driving the historic franchise forward in less than traditional style. Although Origins received a critically positive reception upon its release sales figures sadly didn't match up with the games high quality - not that it stopped the eye catching tightly controlled adventure being ported to just about every system on the market. Thankfully less than desirable sales hasn't dissuaded publisher and developer Ubisoft from creating a sequel - Rayman: Legends, which has the unenviable job of following in the footsteps of its absolutely charming predecessor, a task that was never going to be a walk in the park.
