The rumours have been confirmed, Batman has entered the realm of multi-player first-person shooters.
What could be considered a rather unlikely genre for the superhero, it could be what is needed to spark some extra creativity amongst the growing staleness of the FPS giants.
Monolith Productions have completely shattered the first-person shooter model, with what is said to be over-the-top gameplay, where players become personalised versions of ‘The Bats and The Jokerz’.

It’s hard to start any review of Mythos without at least briefly touching on its development story.
Created back in 2006 by Flagship Studios, Mythos was actually little more than a network testing tool for their other project at the time, HellGate: London.
When they saw Mythos had the potential to become a game in its own right, a team was created to make it happen.
However, shortly after the game reached an open-beta stage, Flagship had to close its doors, meaning ownership of the IP was handed over to Hanbitsoft.
Now, after partnering with top online publishers Frogster, the game is finally finished. Having recently come out of beta, its time to give the game a review and find out if Mythos was worth the long-ass wait.
Mythos is free-to-play MMO set in the world of Uld, where a bunch of once peaceful races are now at war. An alliance based on cooperation was held between the Humans, Gremlins, Satyr & Cyclops, but as always, all it takes is one greedy person to destroy it for everyone. A Human mercenary decided to steal an ancient Cyclops artefact, causing the entire world to lose the plot; normally peaceful animals became feral, attacking anything and everything that moves. This is where you enter the world.

It takes a special game to pull off an immersive, sandbox space sim. X3 is arguably the daddy of the genre – a game full of exciting combat, intricate politics and a realistic economy.
At first glance fans of X3 could believe that Starpoint Gemini will satiate their need for more hardcore space action. Sadly, they would be mistaken. Starpoint Gemini may tease greatness on the back of the box and in the trailer, but in actuality the game is a dilute Freelancer, filled to the brim with horrific voice acting, dodgy controls and poor-looking character models. Starpoint may look pretty, but under the hood it’s not got a lot going for it apart from the story.
Like most space sims, you can go through an optional tutorial at the beginning, which consists of a rigid, pasty figure in the top right corner walking you through the menus in a terrible Russian accent. It’s all easy enough and the menus aren’t as complex as many other sims, but if you dare do something you’re not supposed to, like move a bit, you actually fail the tutorial.
That’s right – the hokey Russian kicks you out of freelancer school just for doing a little control experimentation. Either let us use the controls or don’t! Don’t penalize us for trying to figure out how the game works.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, tons of information leaked and trailers released.
So, Modern Warfare 3 then…there’s been a fair bit of hype around the latest Call of Duty title, but all I can think is that Activision’s strategy to (presumably) make as much money as possible from the franchise by releasing a new game every year is going to eventually kill the series, much like the recent demise of Guitar Hero (or at least it’s hiatus).
By pushing for a new release every year, this really makes me wonder whether the quality of gameplay will be compromised. We all know Modern Warfare 2 was filled with glitches/hacked accounts and whatever other nonsense you can think of. So will we see better security and support with the latest title?

It’s been a month since the PlayStation Network was taken down; a general feeling of unease and paranoia has been left with not just users of the PSN but internet users as a whole, with one question being asked in particular – how secure are we on the internet?
It is unknown who actually hacked the PSN, but with what seemed like relative ease the whole network had to be taken down and millions of personal details were stolen, so what’s next? Will there be an uprising of anonymous hackers terrorising the internet? – cyber-crime seems to be at an all time high.
Many disgruntled gamers are harping on about switching their Ps3 for an Xbox 360, as if they’re somehow impervious to hacking attempts. Yes Sony should have alerted gamers sooner, but who’s to say the ‘360 won’t suffer the same fate somewhere down the line…
