An impressive re-creation of San Francisco and a city full of cars to crash. What's not to like?
The creators of Driver San Francisco have digitized the city using a combination of Google Maps and their own photographs. While they did have to redesign some of the less-interesting roads, Marin County, Chinatown, the Castro district and everything in between are all there. I would've liked to have checked out the bridge but everything seemed so big and a few areas were locked that I just decided to play a few missions and mess around in free drive mode.
Watch as the director plows through the garden and rooftop centipede battles. Be sure to click through for the second video!
Batman is back in a sequel that aims to top everything laid out by its predecessor.
Batman: Arkham Asylum was arguably the best superhero game ever made. Never before had a superhero universe been so faithfully re-created in a video game. Everything from the gameplay to production values were done so well that the game won itself over with fans and critics alike. However, Rocksteady Studios is trying to best their last game with Batman: Arkham City. So far, they are definitely on the right track.

E3 happens just once a year, and our hero, Jason Ross, was on the scene!
Jason Ross stopped by the extravagant Disney Interactive booth to play a bit of the upcoming multiplatform title, Disney Universe.
Let me begin by saying the Disney Interactive booth was most certainly one of the most expansive booths at all of E3 this year. There were two main sections aside from the meeting areas, and they were some of the most elaborate and colorful E3 areas here. On one side, was a Phineas and Ferb coffee house, where Disney elected to give away free flavored coffee. Don't ask me how it was, I don't drink coffee, sorry! The other side was made to look like the interior of a house: There was a kitchen, with custom Mickey Mouse and Disney magnets, a computer area, where E3 guests could try out a Disney computer title or two, and then a living room-type area, where Cars 2, Disney Universe, and a few other titles were on display.
Slightly better view of the cutscene.
Humans are involved, but it's not what you think.
WayForward Technologies is remaking the arcade classic on Wii and 3DS with 3D environments and new features. No longer limited by an invisible ceiling like in the original, players can run all around the enclosed arenas with the nunchuk while aiming the Wii remote and blasting away with the B button. Thus far in the game's development, the only other move is a stomp (done with A or C) and the D-Pad is for changing weapons. Whether there will be a jump to aid in dodging or exploration/adventure elements is still undecided at this point. I saw very few mushrooms and destructible barriers; hopefully they'll be added in the next several months of development.
