| + | == Batman- Arkham Origins Blackgate (PSV) == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The Batman: Arkham series has always utilized Metroidvania aspects in its gameplay, with a vast explorable world, progression based on weaponry and other tools, and a multitude of secrets to uncover. It was only natural, then, that the series' first portable outing, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, adopted the style in full. It also utilises a 2.5D level design similar to the popular XBLA Metroidvania romp Shadow Complex. While it falls short of pure perfection, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is a worthy entry in both the series and its genre. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <br>Taking place three months after the events of Batman: Arkham Origins, Blackgate begins with Batman hot on Catwoman's tail, tracking her as she maneuvers through the Gotham skyline. After succumbing to her pursuer, Catwoman is sent to Blackgate Prison with the rest of the psychopaths that Batman has gathered up. Predictably, an escape attempt by one of the inmates divides the prison into three sectors and in the hands of the Joker, the Penguin, and Black Mask. With Catwoman serving as his eyes and ears around Blackgate, Batman must put a stop to the three criminals before they can cause major damage to the city of Gotham and its inhabitants. | ||

| + | The story unfolds through a series of motion comics that look as though they've been taken right out of DC's own pages. Characters pop from the screen with great detail and lighting, with shadows and other lighting effects providing much of the motion for the cutscenes. While they certainly hold a high degree of detail, the motion comics themselves are rather lacking in terms of animation and leave much to be desired. It also doesn't help that the story itself is lackluster and very anticlimactic (much like Arkham Origins), which seems more concerned with setting up for a possible sequel than succeeding at leaving any lasting impact. The voice acting, to its credit, sees the same cast as that found in Batman: Arkham Origins, with great performances given by both Batman and the Joker in particular, though Catwoman's delivery is a bit weak and unenthusiastic, and the overall effect of the quality work is lost due to the after-taste of a highly mediocre story.<br><br>Where the story fails to live up to the Arkham namesake, the gameplay impresses enough to make up for it. Focus in combat still rests upon the Free Flow system that's helped the series become so popular, yet it's been tweaked to fit the 2.5D side-scrolling action. While you can't freely move into the foreground or background,[http://unicard.in/SofteSolution.aspx nfl raiders jerseys],[http://ao185.com/thread-881501-1-1.html <span class="Fan Confidence Poll- November 11th, 2013">4.12 </span>Fan Confidence Poll- November 11th, 2013] | ||

There are times when the hit detection is a little off,[http://biztechbh.biz/Partners.html chicago bears apparel], with Batman's fist or foot passing through inmates, but ultimately it feels well polished and it remains fun to counter dozens of prisoners in one big engagement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <br>Unfortunately, Batman's repertoire of takedowns and gadgets is limited, which means that combat becomes somewhat of a dull affair towards the end of the game as there is no quick use of gadgets during encounters. The boss fights are creative and challenging, with the Joker, Penguin and Black Mask being especially fun and original, and there are also numerous mini bosses like Solomon Grundy that help to alleviate the end-game boredom. But it really doesn't help that Batman's predatory move set is so lacking (he's only really able to stalk his enemies from vantage points or from grates, with rare, scripted occurrences of the exploding gel being used for silent takedowns). On the whole, though it may not be as robust as the combat found in the console entries, the Free Flow system transitions very well to the portable medium, proving fun for the vast majority of the game. <br><br>Progression throughout Blackgate is governed by which gadgets you've collected in order to bypass certain security doors, enormous gaps, or other hazards. Much like almost any other Metroidvania styled title, you'll trek back and forth through the halls and cells of Blackgate, collecting gadgets or upgrades to get to your next objective. Finding these upgrades or discovering new passages will require Detective Vision, which is activated by tapping or holding the touch screen. Tapping the screen activates the ability, allowing you to see enemies and collectibles, while holding your finger on it lets you scan for grates, weak spots for explosive gel or the Batclaw, and hidden passages, detective cases, and items. Detective Cases give more back story on how each criminal escaped and took over their respective region of Blackgate,[http://www.motorsportworld.tv/wiki/index.php/User:Upfnkmkc3#Why_Briny_Baird_Is_The_PGA_Tour.27s_Biggest_.28lovable.29_Loser_- <span class="Why Briny Baird Is The PGA Tour's Biggest (lovable) Loser -">4.12 </span>Why Briny Baird Is The PGA Tour's Biggest (lovable) Loser -] | ||

Navigation can be a bit confusing at first with only a 2D map to go by, but once you get used to your surroundings and how the map works, it's easy to tell where you're going.

With plenty of secrets to find that will yield different Batsuits with varying abilities, like the Blackest Night suit that makes Batman invulnerable, criminal-themed collectibles to smash that will take some time to find with the Detective Mode scanner, and a New Game+ mode that allows you to keep everything you've found and continue on to find the rest of the secrets and hidden areas in the game,[http://aquastartech.com/sitewithmalware/cheap-soccer-jerseys.html authentic soccer jerseys], Arkham Origins Blackgate's flaws in terms of gameplay and story limitations are easy to look past. | ||

I could name alot of reasons for this but one reason that sticks out right away is the fact that a MS product in the EU (Mainly the smaller countries) lack features but you still pay the full priced XBL bill. (On the 360 no access to indie games or some apps, all actions/prizes are US/CA/UK only.)
I m one of the few that has an Xbox simply because i prefer playing with english speaking players.. whenever i play on my PS (for the exclusives) theres always French, German,4.12

UFC 1- Story behind Art Jimmerson and the lone boxing glove
<html>Looking back at the first-ever (UFC) event 20 years ago, the story of how ran through the tournament field -- introducing his dominant and dangerous brand of Brazilian jiu-jitsu to the combat sports world and forever changing the landscape of mixed martial arts (MMA) -- is usually the most common occurring theme.
The famous Gracie-train entrance into the Octagon, and the first-chosen for competition Gracie clad in his gi for the opening round in Denver, Colo., are usually both the most celebrated and most brought up in conversation. But,4.12
, the one indelible image -- the single-most amusing, yet perplexing picture that enters peoples' minds who recall the historic night -- is of Gracie's opponent in that opening round, , and his lone boxing glove.
At the time, UFC was "no holds barred" and were, for all intents and purposes, "no rules." In fact, fighters weren't even required to wear gloves. While it is widely known that gloves protect fighters' hands more than they protect their heads, why wear one and not both? Many of us have wondered, joked with some buddies and scratched our collective heads at the reason Jimmerson cushioned only his left hand in red leather. Perhaps it was symbolic on his part, to show that he was a boxer entering the one-night tournament.
"No!" former UFC executive producer Campbell McLaren told MMAmania recently as a guest on "No, no, no. I wondered about that for a long time, too."
Before McLaren would spill the beans and divulge the method to Jimmerson's madness that faithful night at the McNichols Arena, he provided some narrative.
"He was nervous. He didn't want to do it," McLaren said, explaining how he was able to sign Jimmerson for UFC 1. "I flew out to St. Louis and I met with him. We had a conversation and we went back-and-forth, and finally he goes -- he's a really nice man,cheap mlb jerseys, he's a really good guy -- and he goes, I'm buying a house and I need a $15,000 down payment.' I said, I'll give you $15,000 to do the UFC.' He said, Okay, I'll do it.' Just like that."
"I really wanted a boxer," McLaren continued. "I was so naive, I thought Jimmerson was going to kill Royce. I don't mean beat him, I mean actually he might really injure him. If Royce weighed 165 pounds, he had four rolls of quarters in the gi pockets," McLaren continued sarcastically. "He didn't weigh 165 pounds. Maybe with the gi wet and someone else putting their toe was on the scale. I thought he was going to get knocked out. That's how wrong I was. That's how much I knew about it."
The St. Louis, Mo.,-based fighter had won 15 fights in a row prior to UFC 1 and McLaren was adamant in pointing out that Jimmerson was, "the highest-ranked, current, contemporary boxer to enter UFC. I think he was the eighth-ranked in the IBF at Cruiserweight. He was a real, real boxer."
Prior to the beginning of the fight, the telecast showed a promo video of a very confident Jimmerson. "I'm a pro boxer and that's how I'm going to win," he boasted. "Being a fighter, I punch hard, I'm fast and I'm quick. You can't hit what you can't see."
McLaren noticed Jimmerson, "was a different man walking out that night." What he didn't know, until referee "Big" John McCarthy gave up the ghost -- while the two were talking about the good ole days at Invcita FC 6 over the summer -- was the fact that a conversation took place prior to the now famous quarterfinal matchup between Gracie and Jimmerson.
McCarthy was not yet a referee at the inaugural UFC event -- he was there because he was a training partner of Gracie. Jimmerson was "pumping him for information," McLaren said, before dishing on the details of the backstage tete-a-tete.
"Big John said, 'you know what he's going to do to you right?'" McLaren said, re-telling the story he only recently became privy to. "Jimmerson said, what's he going to do?' and he was dancing around and doing boxing moves. Big John said, You ever get in a clinch in a boxing match?' Jimmerson said, yeah, the ref breaks it up.' Big John goes," In this they're not going to break it up when he grabs you. He's going to have his arms on you. They're not going to break that up. The ref doesn't break that up in this fight.' Jimmerson goes, what?' Big John said, "He's going to shoot in. He's going to grab you. You are going to get one chance to hit him, and if you miss, he's going to be all over you.' Jimmerson said, He's going to break my arm isn't he?' Big John said,nba jerseys wholesale,4.12 Man United 1 – 0 Arsenal- Ant
Man United 1 – 0 Arsenal- Ant
Man United 1 – 0 Arsenal- Ant, Yeah, he's going to break your arm.'
"That's when he decided to wear the one glove," McLaren revealed. "To make sure we could see him tapping with the other hand. Walking with him to the Octagon,<a name="http://www.gayanasamaja.org/poster.html">nba jerseys</a>, he said, 'If I tap with my glove hand, is it a still a tap?' That's when I knew it wasn't going to work out."
The pro boxer was practically a deer in headlights -- he never even threw a single punch. Neither did Gracie, who took down Jimmerson on the first attempt before immediately moving into the mount. The one-gloved pugilist from Missouri was at a worse disadvantage than he would've already been in because of not being able to grip with the hand that donned the boxing glove. He would submit little more than two minutes into the fight, losing officially by "position."
"This sheds new light on what Art figured out for himself," McLaren said. "Now, I know he was helped along in his realization by Big John."
Gracie went on to win the tournament and the $50,000 prize money, taking the first step toward the evolution process of modern MMA. Meanwhile, Jimmerson earned the dubious moniker of "One Glove" and the rest, as they say, is history.</html>
