New Arkham City Trailer Shows a Playable Catwoman

Holy shit! We sucked again this week. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! look at all those curses! That's how you know I'm mad. So to make up for it, here's a new trailer that showcases Catwoman's ass. Oh, and her fighting prowess too, I guess.Also, Two-FaceAll joking aside, it seems like she'll be awesome to play as. As long as she doesn't take too much of the spotlight from Bats. I mean, after all, the game is called BATMAN: Arkham City.But also... that ass. I mean Miranda from Mass Effect 2 might be jealous of that thing.I'm not wei...

What You (We) Have Missed...

So, here is the deal, kiddos... We sucked at blogging this semester. I don't know what caused it, but school really blew up, and the blog somehow fell to the side. Now, it is summer and we have no excuse. So, in order to make it up to you, we are going to compile a catch up article. In this very article, on this very page, The Outlaw and myself will give minor reviews over the things we thought were important whilst we were away. Little baby reviews, if you will. Here is what is in store!-Portal 2-Brink-Gears of War 3 Beta-Pokemon Black/White-Mortal Kom...

Halo:Reach Demo is here! Wait.....

 Uhhhhhh... so... Halo:Reach is out... It has been out since September last year... Well, if you still have never played Halo, and don't know what all the fuss is about, you too can download to brand new Halo Reach demo, now on XBLA! But wait! There is more! You can also download Halo:Reach for Games on Demand on XBLA, for only $39.99! That's $20 in savings! WOW!! Seriously... what? I suppose it's ridiculously easy to make a DEMO for a game that already exists in its entirety. Anyway, the demo introduces several campaign levels, as well as giving a nice little snippet of multiplayer so.. if you really have no idea if you like Halo...

The Elitist's Favorite Video Game Moments: Portal 2

This one feels almost too easy, but it definitely needs to be said. Portal 2 was recently played and enjoyed thoroughly (more to come on that later) and there were really some moments during the game when I thought to myself "This is really one of my favorite moments in video games" Well... that's no entirely true. I basically just said this the entire game "OMGOMGOMG LOLOLOLOLOLOL I LOVE IT EVERYTHING IS MY FAVORITE!!!eleven!!1" So my favorite moment in Portal 2 is.... Portal 2! Specifics into the gameplay and technical review-y type things will be discussed in a future article, but for the sake of brevity, I only want to bring light...

The Outlaw's Least Favorite Game Moments: Shao Kahn

Shao Kahn: Proof that muscle size is directly proportional to how big of a douche you are.I haven't said one thing about the latest Mortal Kombat up until this point, mainly because it took a drunk impulse buy for me to get it. I was a Street Fighter fan growing up. However, looking back I wish I had gotten it sooner so I could have reviewed it (that will be semi-rectified soon possibly). To be quick without saying too much about it, there was a lot to like about it... except for Shao fuckin' Kahn. For those of you unfamiliar with the Mortal Kombat universe, Shao Kahn is the ultimate sore looser and rule-bender. The new game is a retelling of...

L.A. Noire Review

I had my eyes on L.A. Noire for a long time. When more details started coming out it promised revolutionary facial mo-cap tec, a fantastic story, and a misspelling of a classic term (it's actually spelled Noir). So did this cynical tale of detectives, corruption, drugs, and mobsters live up to the hype? I'm not gunna jerk you around, it did.The game follows Cole Phelps, with a well-done case of "and now for someone completely different" later, as he rises and falls through the ranks of the LAPD. Along the way are your typical action sequences involving the usual shooting and chase scenes. Basically, anything you'd expect from a noir story....

The Elitist's Least Favorite Video Game Moments: World of Warcraft

I know, I know. It's a WoW post. The internet seems to get all twisted whenever wow is mentioned. However, this is probably the one thing in video games that I hate more than anything else. Every time I get to talking about it my brain starts melting from rage... I hate you  I hate you I hate you I hate you A little intro for those of you not addicted to WoW: In the expansion prior to Cataclysm (known to some as Catacalysm), for the final dungeon you and all your specifically selected friends went and stormed the Lich Kings Tower/Castle/Lair thing. Long and short of it is, you run up, fight bosses, run some more, fight some not bosses,...

New Shadows of the Damned Trailer

If you follow the blog you've probably noticed that we have not once mentioned Shadows of the Damned. We haven't actually talked about much of anything lately (we're back to work I swear!). The reason for the former, though, is that we never knew much about it. All I knew was that it was a collab between the big guys behind Resident Evil, No More Heroes, and the genius who does the music for Silent Hill. When I first heard about it, I was really confused. I had no idea what kind of style would be the most apparent. At this point, it seems to combine the action of Resi, the humor and weirdness of Suda 51, and the music of Silent Hill. So basically......

The Outlaw's Favorite Game Moments: Sailing in Windwaker

Returning to work on features, getting back in running order is a slow process, I wanted to do something special. (Un)fortunatly I spent all night playing L.A. Noire and I'm not all here. I was going to settle on Cave Johnson from Portal 2, but that's too damn easy. Instead, I looked to my conversations with fellow gamers from my trip to gamestop last night.On top of getting two more 3DS Streetpasses, which I checked and didn't use immediately for the mini-games which means I can't now, it was a mostly positive experience. I found out how easily my acceptance of people can be swayed by mere gifts when a person, whom I tried to kill with mere...

PSN Back Online.

What better day to return to work than on the day PSN returns to the masses. Or, more accurately, to the masses that kept their PS3s. Personally, I feel that response might have been going overboard, but who am I to talk? After all, my core system is my 360 and I don't rely on PSN for anything but the occasional DLC or buying old Playstation games (I'm currently in the middle of Final Fantasy IV). But after monitoring (refreshing the page of) the site that covered the North American return of service and reading the comments, I do feel like I have to throw something out there.I don't think all Sony fanboys look like this. I just really like...

Our Apologies for the Delay...

We here at the O&E would like to extend to you our sincerest apologies for taking for-bloody-ever to update, a misfortune which has, undoubtedly, kept you, our loyal readers, on the metaphorical (or literal) edges of your seats.

Today, however, we have been freed of this unholy burden, and consequently shall resume in earnest regular postings. So please, find it in your most generous hearts to forgive us for our extended absence, and rest assured that the best blog in the galaxy will soon be up and running...
