BATMAN: ARKHAM Prequel
Batfans will be glad to hear this epic installment of our caped crusader. It will take place in the "Silver age" of comics around the mid 1956 to 1970s. This will also introduce The Justice League of America. (JLA) This originally involved Superman, Bat-Man, Aqua-man, Flash, Green-Lantern, Martian Man-Hunter, and Wonder-Women. This star studded cast is probably a way to advertise or make them well known to the public for their upcoming movie coming out in 2015. The story is also going to revolve around the first meeting with the Joker. I wonder if you can play as Aqua-Man.......would that even be epic?
Gamers and designers brought together to bring you the news and reviews you deserve.

SlENDER Review (ESP)
SLENDER Revisión.
Slender man (hombre delgado). Un mito creado por tablas de mensajes ahora respira y vive en este espeluznante suspenso de primera persona.Esta entidad/monstruo es incluso incómodo de mirar. Vistiendo un traje con largas extremidades que cuelgan de la poca sanidad que te queda. Este sencillo juego usa un miedo bien conocido por el hombre, lo desconocido.
El juego comienza afuera en el bosque, cuentas con una linterna y una cámara de video. La sensación de soledad se arrastra rápidamente cuando ves que la oscuridad va royendo la esencia de tu lámpara.No tienes armas.Rodeado de árboles altos y noche interminable.Escuchas tus pasos y tu respiración (que es probablemente lo último que harás).
Este juego parece estar inspirado en la serie de Internet Marble Hornets. Estas series están basadas en un grupo de adolescentes que son acosados constantemente por el horripilante comportamiento de Slender man. Da click aquí para entrar al sitio oficial de Marble Hornets. ------> http://marblehornets.wikidot.com/
El objetivo del juego es encontrar ocho paginas o pistas y sobrevivir el ataque del Slender man. Este juego realmente no empieza hasta que encuentras la primera página. Una vez que lo haces, escuchas los pasos del "señor del costal". Juro que me pone la carne de gallina de solo escribir esto. Cada página que encuentras, hace que las cosas se pongan implacables. La música de fondo simplemente te tortura los nervios en cada decibel posible. No puedes mirarlo directamente o sufrirás de su ira. Así que tienes que cuidar hacia donde apuntas tu linterna. Aún si vas derecho, miras a la izquierda y después nuevamente a la izquierda y nuevamente derecho.... creo que necesito un nuevo par de pantalones.
PRIMERA IMPRESION:
Este juego no tiene los mejores gráficos, pero, caray, te pone en un estado de soledad y miedo a lo desconocido. La música y las limitaciones del sitio en el que te encuentras te mantiene con los nervios de punta. Es horror puro de una manera simplista. ¿Alguien recuerda el juego de Viernes 13 para NES? Recuerdas cuando estas caminando con tu personaje de 8 bits, en tu propio mundo cuando ¡BAM! Jason aparece y tu mamá te grita por que te orinaste en los pantalones. Si. Esos recuerdos vienen a mi ahora.
MODO DE JUEGO:
Te mueves, caminas y corres. Los controles no son complicados. Noté que hay un menor error en área del baño. Aún así, nada escapa del terror.
INMERSIÓN:
Usa audífonos y no juegues solo en la oscuridad. Este juego te absorbe dentro de sí. Como lo dije antes. Este juego limita tu campo de visión así que tus instintos tratan de captar todo lo que puedan. Mientras tanto, la música resuena en tu sanidad. ¿Por qué nos hacemos esto a nosotros mismos?
¡Cómpralo!.... espera un segundo... ¿mencioné que es de descarga gratuita?

Slender Review (ENG)
SLENDER Review
The Slender man. A myth that was created by message boards now is breathed life onto this creepy first person suspense. This entity/monster is uncomfortable to even look at. Wearing a suit with long limbs to hang from the bit of sanity that you have left. This simple game uses a fear well known to man, the unkown.
You start out in the woods with a flash light and a video camera. The sense of lonliness creeps in rapidly as you see the darkness gnawing at the essense of your flashlight . You have no weapons. Surrounded by tall trees and endless night. You hear your footsteps and your breath (which are probably the last you will take).
This game seems to be inspired by the Marble Hornets web series. These series are based on a group of teenagers who are constantly harrased by The Slender mans horrific demeanor. Click here for the official Marble Hornets Site. ------> http://marblehornets.wikidot.com/
The goal of the game is to find 8 pages or clues and to survive the grasp of the Slender man. The game doesnt really start untill you find a page. Once you do, you hear the foot steps of the boogey man. I swear its giving me the goose bumps just writing this. Every page that you come in contact with, this thing gets relentless. The background music just tortures you nerves with every decible. You cannot look at him directly or you will suffer its wrath. So you have to watch where you point your flashlight. Even if your going straight, then look left, then look straight...........i need a new pair of pants.
FIRST IMPRESSION
This game does not have the best of graphics, but boy does it set the mood of lonliness and fearing the unkown. The music and the limitaions of your site just keeps your nerves on edge. Its pure horror in its simplistic manner. Does anybody remember the game Friday the 13th for NES? Remember when you are walking around wih your 8 bit character, minding your own business, then BAM!! Jason appears and your mom yells at you because you pissed your pants. Yes...its all coming back to me.
GAME PLAY:
You move, walk, and run. The controls are not complictaed. I noticed that there is minor clipping the the bathroom area. Still, nothing can escape the terror.
IMMERSION:
Use head phones and do not play alone in the dark. This game sucks you in. Like I said before. The game limits you with its vision so your sense is trying to take in all it can get. Meanwhile, the music is pounding on your sanity. Why so we do this to ourselves?
Buy It......Wait a second...did I mention this is a free download?
I Meant, DOWNLOAD IT! Its for PC only! --------> http://www.mediafire.com/?0pm8d16u9b1bb0q

Juegos en contra del sistema
Juegos en contra del sistemaEn esta revisión exclusiva vamos a exponer los 5 mejores juegos de NUESTRA librería que contienen protagonistas que chocan en contra de grandes corporaciones o como entidades gubernamentales que te dan una experiencia de juego épica. ¡Disfruten!
5) FINAL FANTASY
Protagonista: Cloud StrifeCorporación: SHINRA
FINAL FANTASY ha sido una muy buena franquicia reconocida desde finales de los 80s. Con su más reciente entrega FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 y dos MMOs, estas series estan lejos de terminar. (Aunque el título contenga la palabra “FINAL”)
"En estos tiempos, lo único que se nevesita para hacer tus sueños realidad es dinero y poder."
- Presidente Shinra En el comienzo, Cloud es parte de un anti (eco) grupo terrorista llamado AVALANCH. Cloud parece sufrir de una crisis de identidad que mas tarde se va desenvolviendo conforme va derrotando a sus enemigos, como sus propios demonios. SHINRA tuvo que hacer una lista debido a sus intenciones. Esta corporación succionó el torrente de vida del planeta para así elaborar un arma de destrucción masiva, mientras destruían el planeta que clamaban proteger. Ocasionando una serie de eventos en reacción cadena y un antagónista mucho más poderoso... SEPHIROT. Absoluta ignorancia.
4) Assasins Creed
Protagonista: Desmond MilesCorporación/ Gobierno: Abstergo, Templarios
- "¡Los hombres deben ser libres de hacer en lo que creen. No es nuestro derecho castigar a uno por pensar lo que hacen, no importa lo mucho que disintamos!"
- ―Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.
Assassins Creed tiene la historia de la historia y la acción. Desmond, el protagonista, cuenta con un largo linaje de asesinos que protegen a la sociedad con sus propios métodos y creencias. La mega corporación ABSERTERGO, que es una sociedad/gobierno religiosa conocida como los Templarios, ha secuestrado a nuestro protagonista y lo ha amarrado a una maquina de alta tecnología conocida como Animus. Ésta máquina le permite a Desmond controlar a sus ancestros que estaban en constante batalla con los Templarios. Involucrando el control de artefactos religiosos conocidos como "Piezas del Edén" que tienen el poder de controlar el curso del destino de la raza humana. Imagina, ¿fanáticos religiosos que quieren el poder de dios para reinar el mundo y cambiar tu forma de vivir? suena familiar....
3) FALLOUT 3Protagonista: sobreviviente Vault 101Gobierno: Enclave
""Guerra. La guerra nunca cambia. Desde el nacimiento de la raza humana, cuando nuestros ancestros descubrieron que el poder asesino del hueso y la roca, sangre ha sido derramada en nombre de todo, desde Dios, hasta justicia o ira psicótica."
-Ron Perlman
Este juego de sobrevivencia post apocalíptico comienza cuando eres criado en un albergue de supervivencia llamado “Bóveda 101”. Estas bóvedas son creadas para albergar a apenas 1,000, para protegerlos de un polvillo radioactivo que sucedió hace años. Tu mundo, tu vida, y tus creencias comienzan a crear tu destino cuando tu padre se embarca en una misión personal y desaparece en la "capital baldío" (Por cierto, la voz de tu padre es la de Liam Neeson) Te encuentras con muchos peligros, desde super mutantes, demonios feroces, asaltantes, esclavizadores, mercenarios, robots y finalmentee Enclave.
Enclave es un poderoso grupo militar, que son las "sobras" de la guerra pre-gubernamental. El líder de esta organización es el presidente John Henry Eden. Te encuentras con éste grupo en numerosas ocasiones mientras chocas con la hermandad de acero, mientras ellos intentan apoderarse de waste land al controlar su última forma de suministro de agua. Lo que me encanta de Enclave y el por que hice esta lista es por que parecen un enemigo muy duro con un supremo poder en armas y tácticas de guerra. El President John incluso tiene su propio canal de radio en el que grita sus creeencias y patriotismo en todo waste land. (La voz es Malcolm Mcdowell. Alex en La Naranja Mecánica) Realmente quieres conocer este poderoso traficante estratega, pero cuando lo haces, obtienes esto...
una vieja Macintosh de 1980 con un monitor de mono tono.
Y lo que realmente esperaba era ésto:
LINDERMAN!
Tienes que amar la ironía!
2) Half Life 2
Protagonista: Gordan FreemanGobierno: The CombineDame una palanca!"El hombre correcto en el lugar incorrecto puede hacer toda la diferencia en el mundo"
-The G-MANGordon Freeman es un Geek convertido en Rambo debido a unos eventos catastróficos que comenzaron con un incidente en black. Una investigación científica salió mal y desató una raza alienígena multi-dimensional conocida como los Combine.
La raza opresiva esta cosechando humanos y Gordon se pone en contacto con un grupo de resistencia humana para deshacer el error que hizo en el pasado. Ciudad 17 es donde la ciudadela fue establecida despues de que la llamada “guerra de 7 horas” tomara lugar y la humanidad fuera esclavizada. También el director principal de Black mesa, el Dr. Wallace Breen, se ha rendido para convertirse en administrador con rango entre los Combine.
En la historia, todos alaban a Gordon como un beneficio salvador de la gente que está en contra de imposibles posibilidades de los combine. Me encantó la forma en que los alienígenas le llaman “The Freeman”, (el hombre libre) algo simbólico de cierta manera. Este juego tiene su propia acción e interacción con su bien conocida "Pistola de Gravedad". Los Combine llegan a esta lista por el ambiente que el juego te da. Una opresión futurística con una carrera más grande. Realmente te da la intención de que estás corriendo por tu vida y por la vida de la raza humana.
1) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterProtagonista: Jack aka Naked Snake, Big BossGobierno: Estados Unidos de América.
Definición de PATRIOTA
patriota adj./s. com. Se aplica a la persona que ama a su patria y procura su prosperidad.
“Las debilidades de la política y el paso del tiempo pueden convertir amigos en enemigos, tan fácilmente como el curso del viento. Ridiculo no. El aliado de ayer se convierte en la oposición de hoy. Los enemigos cambian con el tiempo, el flujo de los siglos. Y nosotros, soldados estamos forzados a seguir el juego”.
-The Boss (Lori Alan)
Metal Gear Solid 3. Se desarrolla durante la guerra fria en 1964. En este capítulo épico conoces al gran mentor de Snake, The Boss (la jefe) (Lori Alan, que es una legendaria heroína americana de guerra), que fue parte de una mision secreta que salió mal. Pronto despues de que defecta a su nuevo benefactor el Coronel Volgin (alias Thunderbolt). Un personaje tipo Stalin que está intentando derrocar a Rusia al planear una conspiración que involucra un tanque nuclear móvil (METAL GEAR/SHAGAHOD) . Ahora está en manos de Naked Snake( alias Jack, que es interpretado por David Hayder) para enfrentar sus temores, emociones, y el peso de cargar con órdenes que le fueron asignadas. Sus órdenes son derribar cualquier amenaza nuclear y eliminar a su anterior mentor y madre, La Jefa.
Hayders gonna hate....¿Por qué he hecho ésta lista? ¿Por qué Estados Unidos y no Rusia? A través del juego sientes que eres el héroe, el soldado de las naciones, un verdadero patriota hasta el final. La confabulación se desarrolla hasta que matas a cada una de las unidades Cobra y te vas acercando a tu mentor "La jefa". Ella era conocida como patriota hasta el fin de su país. Eso es lo que hizo la historia tan interesante en el por que demonios debería de apuñalar por la espalda a su nación, pero en realidad no lo hace. El defecto fue una trampa rusa puesta por el gobierno americano. La Jefa estaba en una misión encubierta para buscar al extremista ruso (Volgin) como un aliado encubierto. Al mostrar su (falsa) lealtad le dio a Volgin dos armas nucleares la the Davey Crocket. (Lanzacohetes equipados con cabezas mini nucleares) Impredeciblemente, Volgin usó el arma americana en tierra Rusa. Rusia quería prueba de que EU no estaba involucrada. Para probar su inocencia, tuvieron que deshacerse de La Jefa. Que mejor soldado para deshacerse de ella que su propio pupilo e hijo, Jack (Naked Snake). A ella no le estaba permitido regresar a casa y tenia demasiado orgullo y honor como para quitarse la vida. Así que dió su vida luchando, etiquetada como terrorista, sacrificándose a si misma en las manos de su pupilo favorito.
Snake era un peón en el juego de la guerra. Manipulado,
desanimado por medios de poder por su propio pais, mientras su
madre-mentora está disputada como una terrorista común. Todo el juego
era un truco ruso desde el comienzo. Es por esto que Metal Gear 3 Snake
Eater ha logrado llegar a la cima de mi lista.
Espero que hayas disfrutado la lista. Apuesto
que hay otros juegos con mejores singularidades, tramas y decepciones.
Pero recuerda, esto es desde nuestra pequeña libreria. A JUGAR!

Games against the System
In this exclusive review we are going to expose the top 5 games from OUR library which deal with protagonists who clash against huge corporations or government like entities which gives an
epic video game experience. Enjoy!
epic video game experience. Enjoy!
5) FINAL FANTASY 7
Protagonist: Cloud Strife
Corporation: SHINRA
FINAL FANTASY has been a well recognized franchise ever since the late 80s. With their latest installment of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 and two MMOs, these series are far from over. (Even though the Title contains the word “FINAL”)
"These days, all it takes for your dreams to come true is money and power."
- President Shinra
- President Shinra
In the beginning, Cloud is part of a anti (eco) terrorist group called AVALANCH. Cloud seems to suffer from an identity crises which later on unfolds as he fights against his enemies and his personal demons. SHINRA had to make the list because of its intentions. This corporation sucked the Life stream of the planet in order to make a weapon of mass destruction, meanwhile destroying the planet it claims to protect. Causing a chain reaction of events and a more powerful and remarkable antagonist…SEPHIROTH. Utter ignorance.
4) Assasins Creed
Protagonist: Desmond Miles
Corporation/ Government: Abstergo, Templars
- "Men must be free to do what they believe. It is not our right to punish one for thinking what they do, no matter how much we disagree!"
- ―Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.
Assassins Creed has the story of history and action. Desmond, the protagonist, has a long lineage of assassins who protect society with their own methods and beliefs. The mega corporation ABSERTERGO, which is a religious government/society known as the Templers, has kidnapped our protagonist and strapped him to a Hi-Tech machine known as Animus. This machine allows Desmond to control his ancestors who were actually in constant battle with the Templers. Involving control of religious artifacts known as “Pieces of Eden” which have the power to control the course of human destiny. Imagine, religious fanatics who want the power of god to rule the world and change the way you live? Sounds familiar……
3) FALLOUT3
Protagonist: Vault 101 survivor
Government: The Enclave
""War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage."
-Ron Perlman
This post apocalyptic survival game stars as you being raised in a survival shelter called “Vault 101”. These vaults are created to house a mere 1,000 to protect them from nuclear fallout which happened years ago. Your world, life, and beliefs start to form its destiny when you father embarks on a personal mission and disappears in the capital wasteland. (By the way, the voice of your father is done by Liam Neeson ) You encounter many dangers from super mutants, feral ghouls, raiders, slavers, mercenaries, robots, and finally the Enclave.
The Enclave is powerful military group which are leftovers from the pre-government war. The leader of this organization is President John Henry Eden. You encounter this group numerous times while clashing with the Brotherhood of steel, while they try to take over the waste land by controlling its last form of water supply. The thing I love about the Enclave and why it made this list is because they seem like a very tough enemy with supreme firepower and tactical means of war. President John even has his own radio channel which he yells his beliefs and patriotism throughout the waste land. (Voice is done by Malcolm Mcdowell. Alex from Clockwork Orange) You really want to meet this Power monger strategist, but when you do, you get this…
an old 1980 Macintosh with a monochrome monitor.
And what I really was expecting was this.
an old 1980 Macintosh with a monochrome monitor.
And what I really was expecting was this.
LINDERMAN!
You gotta love the irony!
2) Half Life2
Protagonist: Gordan Freeman
Government: The Combine
Give me a Crowbar!
"The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world"
-The G-MAN
Gordon Freeman is a Geek turned Rambo due to some catastrophic events which started in the Black mesa incident. A scientific researched gone wrong has unleashed an alien multi-dimensional race known as the Combine.
This oppressive race is harvesting the humans this time around and Gordon comes in contact with a human resistance group to undo the mistake he made in the past. City 17 is where the citadel was established after the so called “7 hour war” was taken place and humanity was enslaved. Also the head director of Black mesa, Dr. Wallace Breen, has surrendered to become an administrator within the ranks of the Combine.
In the story, everybody praises Gordon as a profit or a savior of the people to goes up against impossible odds of the combine. I loved how the alien life forms called him “The Freeman”, kind of symbolic in a way. This game has its own action and interaction with its well known “Gravity Gun”. The Combine makes this list because the environment the game gives you. A futuristic oppression with a greater race. It really gives you a feeling that you are running for your life and for the life of the human race.
1) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Protagonist: Jack aka Naked Snake, Big Boss
Government: United States of America.
Definition of PATRIOT
Patriot pa·tri·ot
\ˈpā-trē-ət, -ˌät, chiefly British ˈpa-trē-ət\ (one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests)
“The foibles of politics and the march of time can turn friends into enemies, just as easily as the wind changes. Ridiculous isn’t it. Yesterdays ally becomes today’s opposition. Enemies change along with the time, the flow of the ages. And we soldiers are forced to play along”.
-The Boss (Lori Alan)
Metal Gear Solid 3. Takes place during the events of the Cold war in 1964. In this epic chapter you get to meet Snake’s grand mentor, The Boss (Lori Alan, who is a legendary US war hero), who was on a secret covert mission gone awry. Soon after she defects to her new benefactor Colonel Volgin (aka Thunderbolt). A Stalin like character who is trying to overthrow Russia by plotting a conspiracy which involves a nuclear mobile tank (METAL GEAR/SHAGAHOD) . Now its up to Naked Snake(aka Jack, who is played by David Hayder) to face his fears, emotions, and the burden to carry out orders that were assigned to him. His orders are to take out any nuclear threats and to eliminate his former mentor and mother, The Boss.
Hayders gonna hate....
Why this has made my list? Why the US and not Russia? Throughout the game you feel that you are the Hero, the nations soldier, a true patriot until the end. The plot sets to unfold after you kill each of the Cobra units and you reach closer to your Mentor “The Boss”. She was known to be patriot to the end for her country. That’s what made the story so interesting on why the hell she would backstab her nation, but she actually didn’t. The defect was a ruse set up by the US government. The Boss was on a covert mission to seek out this Russian extremist (Volgin) as an undercover ally. By showing her (false) loyalty she gave Volgin 2 nuclear weapons, the Davey Crocket. (Rocket launchers equipped with mini nuclear warheads) Unpredictably, Volgin fired the US weapon on Russian soil. Russia wanted proof that the US was not involved. To prove its innocence, they had to get rid of The Boss. What better soldier to take her out but her pupil and son, Jack (Naked Snake). She was not allowed to come back home and she had too much pride and honor to take her own life. So she gave her life fighting, labeled as a terrorist, sacrificing herself to the hands of her favorite pupil.
Snake was a pawn in the game of war. Manipulated, discouraged by means of power by his own country while his mother-like mentor is spat on like a common terrorist. The whole game was a trick/Ruse from the beginning. This is why Metal Gear 3 Snake Eater has made the top of my list.
I hope you enjoyed this list. I bet there are other games out there with better twists, plots, and deceptions. But remember, this is from our small library. GAME ON!
