If we absolutely must endure winter every year, I vote for enhancing things a little. At least the nuclear winters in games like Fallout have a bit of spice to them. We’d get to run around in underground bunkers, take G.O.A.T exams and generally forget about what grass smells like. That’s if we’re the lucky sods that could afford it though – being a ghoul doesn’t sound that enticing at all. And yes, I’ve been thinking about Fallout 4 all day. Haven’t you?
In honour of the imminent launch of Batman: Arkham Knight, today’s throwback is a reminder of just how far games have come in just over two decades. Batman Returns was a point and click title released back in 1992 – diving head first into the more detective elements of the caped crusader. It’s still rather great to play, even with the incredibly repetitive soundtrack that was common back then. Or so I believe – I was only born the same year.

They should fire the person in charge of keeping their focus on PC gaming. The number of times it got lost & had to be found is silly.

They should also fire the guy in charge of finding it.
He seems to keep finding the Xbox focus and mistaking it for the PC focus.

Man, that Batman video game just made me a bit emotional. Have some seriously good, but sad memories attached to playing it.
It was an excellent game though. So much fun.
