Welcome to genre bender week! Where the genres you’ve come to love gets strange, radical treatments. This week, we’ve got a shooting RPG not named Borderlands, sports games with a unique camera, and a strategy game based off reality. Won’t you join me on this twisted tale of games seeking to break the norm?
The Joker is without a doubt Mark Hamill’s most well known role since Kenny Dantley in Corvette Summer. But according to an interview with IGN, he will hang it up for good after the upcoming Arkham Asylum 2. Having played the role of the Dark Knight’s arch nemesis for 12 years, he loved it so much that he became very protective of the character.
MCV reports that long awaited (for a few years now) racing sim Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed again. That’s because it’s rumored that GT5 will incorporate Move as well as 3D.

Now only one question remains – Does Alan Wake play like a dream or a nightmare?
According to an article cited by GamePolitics, “Young addicts are skipping meals, playing truant from school and are even stealing money from their parents to buy the latest games.” The quote is obviously intended to provoke a chilling effect on the reader.
Well that was interesting. Last week was like a Christmas that came out of nowhere. This week, the releases seem to have normalized itself. We got a good handful of games without any real stand outs. Now that’s the barren Summer releases that we’ve all come to love!
You can never have too much of a good thing. Having spent a mere 130 hours playing Dragon Age Origins and considering (briefly) taking a break, I didn’t think twice about downloading the Awakening expansion pack. It’s Dragon Age 1.5, and it gave me a perfect excuse to continue my journey into the land of Ferelden.
We as consumers are accustomed to certain things when it comes to the digital realm. For the Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, and iPhone apps, once you purchase and download stuff it’s yours forever.
