Welcome to the Other Games Blog.

We have a blog just for Nintendo, so we thought we might as well create this.

The Amazing Spider-Man.

When it comes to games, Spider-Man hasn't always had the best of luck. After some well loved games on the PS1 and some cool open world style games like Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man, the Web Slinger has found it hard to win over critics and fans with his games. Luckily, 2010 saw the birth of Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. This was finally something to be excited over, a good Spider-Man game, received well by reviewers and fans. However, many players wanted to return to the open world of New York. And now, with the upcoming movie, Spider-Man is back in the big apple. I know what you're thinking (movie game...shudder) but hear me out. This game will have a longer time to develop than most movie games do since it takes place after the movie and won't be as rushed to match the movie's story. Is the mixed reception of Edge of Time about to be replaced with a truly ground-breaking Spider-Man experience? Only time will tell, but the fans who viewed it are actually pretty excited. But will Beenox do to Spider-Man what Rocksteady did to Batman?

Why I prefer Halo 3 to Halo Reach

ill say it now, i do not dislike reach. Reach is TOTALY FRICKIN AWESOME, but i prefer Halo 3, thats all.
Anyway, time to get to the "why" part.
Halo 3's campaign. nuff said.
lol jokes, thats not enough. Halo 3's campaign, to me, is just astounding. While reach is amazing, 3 gives me the urge to travel into space, find some giant monkeys with hammers, and fill them with lead. Then theres the music. My GAWD!
anyone whos played this game knows that halo 3 had an unbelivably EPIC sountrack. Now, reach did as well... but reach didn't have this


exactly.
now, reach's soundtrack was also, muoi fantastico, to me it was just not as good as halo 3's.


Multiplayer.
personally, im not much of a multiplayer deathmatch kind of person. Im the kind of gamer who likes doing co-op stuffs. Halo 3 has a co-op campaign. So does reach. But does reach let player 2 be the Arbiter?
No. Not really.
another thing. who would you rather have driving/gunning on the final mission? an A.I?
Or your buddy in elite form?
(or sgt johnson).

Halo 3's traditional multiplayer. well, in the case of multiplayer match making, i prefer Halo reach. seeing as its far easier to defend yourself in reach, what with armor abilities and whatnot, i prefer it.
i just prefer the Halo 3 campaign, music and co-op.

Stuff


So, i have been thinking, i've decided that i should probably make a larger contribution to the blog. Whats that you say? "Terfle, you already make such an amazing and huge contribution already" well i know, but i've decided to step it up. Beginning at a time that is so far unspecified i will begin to make weekly posts, and proper actual posts, not just ones with one sentence and a youtube video attached. I already have a few ideas for stuff, oh, and i wont be making one for each blog, just one each week. Unfortunately schoolwork is just way, way too overwhelming to start doing this now, but when i eventually do, i will tell you all. Who knows, maybe once i get a minecraft code, me and the doc can review adventure maps or something, or maybe me and 4evs can do more app reviews or something. I wanna find more stuff that we can do together, so if anyone has any ideas, please tell me. Whats that you say "I lied before, you make little to no contribution, and i cant help but wonder why you still have posting rights" well to that i say, why dont you write it down on a piece of paper, tear it up and shut your face. There, problem solved.

Arkham City extras

If you aren't already dribbling all over your shirt from excitement of the near release of Arkham city on 360 and PS3 on November 19 and the release of it on Wii U next year, then here are some more reasons.








Playable characters: Most people would be content with merely playing as the caped crusader, but wait, there's more! As well as the Dark Knight, Catwoman has been revealed as a playable character in both challenge maps and the campaign. If that wasn't enough, the Boy Wonder himself is appearing in Arkham City in several challenge map DLC's. Yes, Robin is in Arkham City and perhaps for the first time in his whole life, Tim Drake is actually cool.


Oh, but that's not the end of it. Yes folks, the original Robin has made land in Arkham City along with several challenge maps. One of which is the house he grew up in. Wayne Manor. Yes ladies and gentlemen. Nightwing has freakin' arrived.


















I  can't wait to play as 1970's Bats
Extra Costumes: An often used hook for super-hero games (especially for DLC's and Pre-Orders) is the alternate costumes. Nerds often have to take a few moments to regain breath after seeing alternate suits and Arkham City has a lot. 














Watch out for the one on the right
Oh, and the bird boy gets some new threads as well:
