Gotham City Impostors Trailer Shows Why Being a Vigilante is a Rough Ride
Posted by author on October 7th, 2011
You’re probably thinking life as Batman must be pretty kick-ass. Sure, your parents are dead but at least they left you a crapload of money and a deadpan, English servant to keep you company. If that wasn’t enough, then there’s the fun of dressing up as a bat and serving out a dish of cold, self-righteous justice to the criminals of Gotham. The below trailer reminds us that the Batmen and Jokers in Gotham City Impostors are, well – impostors! They’re every day people like you and me, except they spend the nights fighting crime and their days nursing their wounds and working a day job. The game is a massively multiplayer online shooter that pits a team of Batman impostors against a team of Joker imposters. I don’t know about you – but that sounds like a pretty neat concept to me. Check out the above trailer. It conveys the comical tone of the game very well and is guaranteed to make you want to find out more about it.
Need for Speed: The Run ‘On the Edge’ Trailer
Posted by author on October 6th, 2011
The latest trailer for Need for Speed: The Run shows why living life on the edge isn’t necessarily a good thing because, you know, you could fall off it and die. The game looks like it’ll deliver the intense, adrenaline-fueled racing action the series is known for. I’m still not sold on the running bits where the game turns into Mirror’s Edge with quick-time events, though. Let’s hope Need for Speed: The Run delivers when it launches in the US on November 15th and Europe on November 18th.
