If you are interested in PC graphic performance numbers and charts like me and want to get "geeky" with it then check the reviews out by following the link below.

Twisted Metal PS3

Well I guess tonight is video game news night, might as well keep it rolling. Twisted Metal is one of my all time favorites that I have enjoyed since the PS1. The latest installment for the PS3 features over a dozen new and old characters, 2-4 player split screen and up to 16 online. Also if you pre-order with gamestop you get 30 days early access to Axel (Twisted Metal 2- man with wheels on the end of his arms and a shockwave special attack) and yes I used to play the hell out of the Twisted Metal series, this better be as good or better than Twisted Metal 2. I already got my pre-order in.

The Darkness II

I have the original "The Darkness" for the PS3. But I just now noticed (I am a bit late to the game) that "The Darkness 2" has been released for the Xbox 360, PS3, and the PC. I have already put the game on my steam wish list. When I have the spare bucks I will buy it. First I will play through "The Darkness", the first one for the PS3 then I will buy the second one for the PC on Steam.

Gotham City Imposters (PC, PS3, XBOX 360)

I recently bought and started to play the new "Gotham City Imposters". A team based first person where you play as either batman wannabes or joker wannabes in this fun game. I only played a little bit because I only got 2.5 hours of sleep last night. But from what I played the game had cool weapons and items such as the glider pack where you can jump and glide around then pounce downward from the air inflicting damage. Boomerangs, slingshot bombs, grappling hooks and other nifty devices. I played a quick game online as "The Bats" in team deathmatch and it was a typical first person shooters but with some real fun abilities. I purchased my copy on Steam (link below) for $14.99. Their is already downloadable content (DLC) for the game which already includes a total of 9 items for the game currently totaling $33.91. Yes the DLC total is more than twice the price of the game. But the game is cheap for a brand new game. Gotham City Imposters is available on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Windows 8 Might Suprise You.

Sounds great just wish their was complete compatibility between mobile devices and x86 based PC's.

"Windows 8 is being developed from the ground up to elegantly run on both traditional computers (desktops and notebooks) as well as touch-based tablets. The OS can run on either ARM or x86 processors, though apps written specifically for the x86 desktop environment won’t be able to run on ARM-based mobile devices. "
