Battles against hulking bruisers and swift mechanised menaces that task you with using everything you’ve learnt so that you don’t get riddled with all manner of shiny lethal orbs in the process. So how did develper Joymasher come up with these armpit-moistening boss fights while still throwing a few new ideas into the mix for Blazing Chrome?

Batman may have been a serious film with dark violence and mature themes at the time, but there was one aspect of the project that made everyone find their inner child and grin with joy: The Batmobile.

That mission has been aborted, I repeat abort the mission.

Last year, Snapchat updated its unwieldy user interface to make it more intuitive. Back then, they were excited for the change, though a little worried that the new interface would drive away its regular users. Those worries were well founded.
