Batman Arkham Origins Cold Cold Heart DLC impression
The story DLC is finally here and I managed to play it last night. I had little hope of seeing something new let alone a good story but all that came crashing down when I started a new mode in Cold Cold Heart menu. I was surprised to see new textures, places and even enemy type. And while not much has changed since the main map, new place was opened as well as some small side missions but most importantly the new Batsuit.
The story is kinda short but satisfying for a quick and cheap DLC (Free with season pass) and while the main point of this DLC is to introduce the back story of Mr. Freeze, the new suite makes everything seems cooler somehow. I wont spoil anything but one final word: Get it.
PS: I’m playing the PC Steam version via Xbox 360 controller.
The Walking Dead game impression
I just finished the walking dead point and click game (Steam) and man, its what I expected and more.
First of all, the game is biased on the comic meaning staying true to the root while adding its own style. The story is exciting and the graphics look amazing. There are choices to be made and decisions to consider as the game changes (kinda ) depending on how you play and while there is not much to control you will be more happy to uncovering the next chapter as you move on. In total, there are 5 episodes which are of normal length except the fifth one which is kinda short compared to the others.
Overall, the game is exciting and the short but fun DLC 400 days is out as well. The next game Session 2 is almost out which continues the story even further. One thing is for sure, I’m grabbing it as soon as it comes. A must buy for any point and click/walking dead fans plus the price is really love.
Batman Arkham Origins Review
So its been some time since I last blogged, and with a good reason; I was busy completing Arkham Origins. Right now, I just completed the New Game+ with the final mode finally unlocked.
The game overall feels like an update to Arkham City rather than a new one, but that’s not necessary a bad thing for hardcore Batman fans but I must warn you that some parts feel old and repetitive. Once you complete the main story you can go hunt the sub missions and remaining Data Drives along with a few surprises but that’s all about it.
The graphics are somehow update (Playing the PC version) and are nice to look at but nothing groundbreaking although seeing how this is a Game play + Story game that’s normal.
Of course the challenge maps return but in order to earn all upgrades you now must complete a series of sub challenges in story mode. Obtaining them all will require skill and patents as sometimes the game glitch you out of the award. Over all, it is the same game we all played and loved with a few upgrades and a prequel story. The DLCs should be on the way and there is a session pass to get as well.
Hardcore Arkham fans will get it as soon as they can, but for the rest you might want to wait for the game of the year edition or a cheaper version along the line.

Is Linux indeed the future of PC gaming?
Gabe Newell, the founder of Steam the largest digital games distributor declares that Linux is the future PC gaming OS.
Now before we jump the gun and call the man crazy lets consider the following facts:
• Linux is FREE
• Linux is Stable
• Linux is becoming popular and cool
Now I not saying that there is anything wrong with Windows considering I’m a Mac owner but nothing stays the way it is forever. And quite frankly, Microsoft did nothing but kill PC gaming for the past few years so change and the reviewer of PC gaming is needed.
Linux is becoming easy to use day by day and the ability to run it side by side with windows was always there but will people bother?
At the end, I leave the final judgement to you.
Steam announced Family Sharing
sharing is caring, and now Steam surprisingly announced that you will soon be able to share your games with a family or friends. Of course the number will and should be limited but that’s more than enough considering each can get his own achievements and cloud saves. Good move Steam.
