Fan-favorite Batman writer Paul Dini neatly sums up Batman's plight in this behind the scenes video for Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Dini's breakdown of Batman's situation in Arkham Asylum is an oversimplification, but oversimplification can be entertaining. Many of today's games can be broken down to the point where they sound like the games of yesteryear. A hero trapped in a box filled with enemies might as well be the entire pitch for an early-80's arcade title.

When I graduated from High School I didn't do anything worthy of compliment or insult, not true of our favorite video game characters.
Game Daily has compiled a list of what moniker's our favorite video game characters would have achieved had they all gone to what could only be the greatest high school ever. The list doles out 16 awards, including most athletic for pill-popping Pac-Man, biggest flirt for Niko Bellic and class clown for... Gordon Freeman?

FrozenByte's 2D physics meets magic platformer Trine is now available to purchase an play via Steam, with a price that was briefly a little lower than many expected.
A suggest retail price for the PC of $30-$40 caused a bit of consternation among fans awaiting the PC release of Trine earlier this week, worried that they would be paying near double what the PlayStation 3 players would be paying once the game hits the PlayStation Network. It looked like relief was in sight this morning when the game hit Steam for $19.99, but as I sat here typing this, the price changed, as did the tone of this article. Now the game is $10 more expensive than it was initially, which means the original price was either a mistake, or a cruel joke meant to taunt me. It's a good thing I compulsively hit the refresh button.
So, who is biting, and who would rather wait for the less expensive PlayStation 3 version?
