Green Arrow for Injustice Game – Still No Robin
The makers of Injustice: Gods Among Us continue to reveal their fighters at an agonizingly slow pace. The latest is Green Arrow.
The game comes out in April, so I suppose the developers still have plenty of time. But can you really tell me that they don’t, at this point, already know all the fighters who are going to be in their game? I guess I’m just being impatient. As long as they let these reveals trickle out like they are, they’ll continue to grab headlines on geek sites.
The previewed box art has also revealed Green Lantern and Joker – but they were kind of obvious choices.
But I just want to know if the game is going to feature Robin! And I’ll keep saying this in the hopes that one of the developers reads my blog, but what would be a cooler match up in this type of game than Batman vs. Robin? The teacher vs. the student! It’s classic! Nightwing is in the game, sure, but he’s not Robin anymore. People know Robin. People know the Dynamic Duo that is Batman and Robin. A fight between the two of them still holds a lot of oomph behind it!
So make it happen, NetherRealm! Don’t make me tell you again!
Also, speaking of Green Arrow, look for my review of the first episode of Arrow later today or this weekend.
Oh Right, Assassin’s Creed 3 Has More Than Just Redcoat Killing
Namely, a plot. The latest trailer actually gives us a look at protagonist Connor and his exciting, upcoming story!
I recently beat Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (review forthcoming), so I’m ready to tackle the upcoming threequel in this amazing series. I only hope I can split my time between Warcraft, AC3 and a million other games I’m playing or I have waiting for me these days. It’s a good time to be a video game nerd.
The above trailer, I think, looks pretty neat. It’ll be fun to get to know a new protagonist after so many games with Italian heartthrob Ezio. The location and setting are definitely up my alley. I’m eager to learn more about the American Revolution and the badass Native American warrior who sliced his way behind-the-scenes.
And want to hear something more awesome? The first round of DLC has already been announced for Assassin’s Creed 3: NAME OF DLC
It’s going to take place in an alternate reality where you have to hunt down and kill King George Washington! Though considering how badass the father of our country looks on his throne, I don’t think it would be such a bad thing if he were King. Has George Washington ever looked so pimp?
Sarah Silverman Gets Adorable
In this new Wreck-It Ralph trailer!
I haven’t really liked her cutesy little character so much in the previews we’ve seen, but this time she’s absolutely adorable! I’ve always been a Sarah Silverman fan, but this really raises the bar a lot. If only we could get Vanellope von Schweetz to give us a profanity-laced rant about her Jesus. Now that would be a movie!
6 Improvements to Future Pokemon Games
I am a Pokemon video game fanatic. I can sing the theme song by heart. I can tell the difference between a Blitzle and a Basculin. I even bought my Nintendo DS on a whim simply because I’d heard that Pokemon Diamond/Pearl had come out and I no longer had a Game Boy to play it on. I wrote extensive Pokemon fan fiction in my youth. I am a 29-year-old male, and I do indeed plan to buy the new Pokemon Black/White 2 when it comes out this month. I absolutely love those games.
But man, oh man, Pokemon is in desperate need of a lot of improvements. Who knew such a powerful, long-lasting franchise was so broken?
No Bulbasaur or Charizard? Definitely broken
Join me after the jump for 6 improvements I want to see when the next generations of Pokemon games come out. This franchise shows no signs of slowing down, but it could use a lot of help along the way.
Mario and Luigi Rock Out A Cappella Style
Went away to an old friend’s wedding overnight, so I wasn’t around to update this old girl. Though I did find out that one of my friends is a big fan. So that’s always fun. I’m going to try to get some more posts up in the coming week, including reviews to Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 DVD and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Let’s hope I can find the time!
For now, enjoy this pretty neat A Cappella jam of Super Mario Bros. themes! Done by Nick McKaig and Julien Neel (Trudbol).
