Talkie Tuesday: Batham Arkham Origins

 

"It's high time you realize you are a man, not an island. 

A man's strength comes from not just brawn and intelligence, but also from his allies."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I'm sure some of you might have seen this coming, but if not ... well, unfortunately you'll have to contend with some more video game reviews.

 

And this week, we're heading right back to the beginning.

 

Well, alright, the way these games were released it isn't ACTUALLY the first one in the series, but CHRONOLOGICALLY it is, and that's the way I've chosen to re-watch the gameplays.

 

See, I've watched these all before, way before Gotham Knights popped on scene.

 

But with the resurgence in Batman interest, I decided I'm going to go right back and figure out how the story connects, if it does.

 

I kinda think it does, even if Knights supposedly isn't a sequel.

 

Anyway, we need to stop chattering and start talking about the game itself, right? Right.

 

Because Batman: Arkham Origins won't wait.

Talkie Tuesday: Gotham Knights

 

"Gotham City called, and we have answered. And we will never abandon her."

 

Hello everyone!

 

It looks like there will be more video game summaries to be found on my blog post now that I've re-discovered my love for watching them on Youtube.

 

I've also made it a mission of mine to actually get my hands on a console at some point.

 

I'd DEARLY love to play some of the games I write about!

 

But I digress.

 

First of all, I have to make sure to do this game justice.

 

People seem to be split on the final verdict for this one, just like any other honestly. It feels like the times of being able to just buy a game and play it without the peanut gallery preaching back at you are over, which is kind of sad.

 

Particularly as this is a good game - maybe not perfect, but it IS good.

 

Which game am I talking about you may ask? Why, Gotham Knights of course.

 

Saturday Snippet: Batman Wonders ...

 

... about what he ever did to deserve this 😂

Talkie Tuesday: Justice League

"This isn't the plan. This is the team."

Hello everyone!

So, fun fact: I'm only slowly getting into the DCEU. Probably because DC is a little bit on the slower side when it comes to their movie franchise as opposed to Marvel that's currently way, way into the MCU. 

That being said, however, I again state that I'm not someone who's going to play favourites and go from one camp to the other trying to infuriate people.

I really don't care about this so called "rivalry". I like Thor but I also like Superman, so if I want to watch both movies and see Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill rocking it on screen, well, that's about everything that should be said on the matter.

Still, it took me a little bit to get to the hero team-up DC dreamed up as their answer for the Avengers. I think I'm still jaded after trying - and failing - with Batman vs Superman.

Wonder Woman restored my faith somewhat though and I figured I might as well give Justice League a try, too.

Tome Thursday: Wonder Woman Warbringer

Hello everyone!

For my book review this week I'm going back to basics with DC.

Now, for those of you who may not know me all that well, let me tell you that I frankly don't care too much about all this DC vs Marvel debate or hashtags or whatever.

I can understand that there's some rivalry going on, because, well, two competing comic book houses? Duh. It makes sense even to me. But I'm not one of those people who say YOU CAN'T GO FOR DC IF YOU'RE A MARVEL FAN THAT'S BETRAYAL. Or vice versa.

Me, I watch/read about the heroes I like. Whether they were created by Marvel or by DC means precious little, although I'll also freely admit I kind of like the tone of MCU better than of the DCEU at the moment.

That being said, however, Wonder Woman has become one of my favourites, partly thanks to Gal Gadot's amazing performancein the movie.

Which is why this week's book is all about the Warbringer.
