And I've got to say, as a Marvel fanatic, UMvC3 is pretty impressive. It might keep me from DLing the Robin pack right away actually. As for Uncharted, that's a franchise I always wanted to get into(it always has some great reviews), but haven't yet... HA! Those Riddler trophies... I think I had managed to collect over 200 before I switched over to UMvC3. I finished up all of the side missions except for the advanced VR training, which is insanely hard! But yeah, I've been quite pleased with the comic related video games I've been playing these past two months.<br /><br />After this issue I dropped Detective, JW... It was a tough decision, I mean it's DETECTIVE COMICS!, but I just couldn't rationalize spending the money on something I'm sure to not like. Maybe if we get a writer change, I'll give it another shot, but for now, I'll use that money for other things, like the Robin DLC! :Px-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-84097492508695366692011-11-16T10:21:50.416-05:002011-11-16T10:21:50.416-05:00First, I'm counting down the hours until I can...First, I'm counting down the hours until I can play the Robin DLC. I finished the main plot a week or so ago, so I'm now wandering around Arkham City trying to complete all the sub-plots. (I'm going to have to make some sort of decision about the Riddler Trophies, particularly since "Uncharted 3" just arrived...) It's amazing I'm even going to work at this point.<br /><br />Second, did you read issue #3? If not, you're not missing much. Things get even weirder...in a bad way.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384937330661711685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-49567667742669392742011-10-10T13:50:04.591-04:002011-10-10T13:50:04.591-04:00Ah, so you're an X-Bot, eh? :P It's the P...Ah, so you're an X-Bot, eh? :P It's the PS3 for me. I haven't pre-ordered yet, but I almost definitely will by Thursday this week, and I'm still leaning heavily towards Amazon. I figure if the game runs about 20 hours storywise, plus the challenge maps for Bats and Cats, that SHOULD keep me occupied until they release Tim/Dick as DLC. I mean I REALLY want to pick it up from Best Buy for Robin but for the extra price I just can't do it... That's an extra $10 for comic books! :D But bottom line? I'll be spending TONS of money on DLC for this game I can see!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-59830064756134599142011-10-10T12:11:47.327-04:002011-10-10T12:11:47.327-04:00thanks man!

The art makes the story look dark and ominous, but the names... I'm sorry, I just can't get behind "The Dollmaker" as a serious villain name. Plus we got no Joker here!

I REAL...Well here's an early happy b-day, Cap! I REALLY want to play as Robin, being a Tim Drake mark, but I'll probably be pre-ordering from Amazon just to get the $0.99 same day shipping. You don't get anything special for the game from Amazon, but Amazon is shipping a $10 gift card with the game so it's like paying $51(and tax) to get/play the game on the 18th! I can always buy the DLC(Nightwing, Robin, etc) later on down the road. I've gotta ask, Xbox 360 or PS3?<br /><br />That absolutely made my day, Movieartman!!! I can only HOPE that is exactly what it looks like... Fingers crossed!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-61793036420671292222011-10-07T15:15:54.199-04:002011-10-07T15:15:54.199-04:00DUDE DUDE DUDE

The first two issues have been set-up but I have a feeling that there may be something major going on in this series eventually. If it pans out I will gladly stay for another arch. Its easily not the worst comic im picking up. That honor goes to... None! I drop them when they get bad haha unless its at the very end of the series. I have managed to control my completionist attitude fairly well. I am looking forward to a few light weeks of pulls though because Arkham city comes out on my birthday!

I mean it's not been terrible, but if this issue is an indication of things going forward, I'm not sure if it's worth keeping. Last issue's cliffhanger was better because it seemed more believable than this one... I just can't see that guy at the end really being Gordon, but who knows I guess. And yeah, the Dollmaker makes me think about the Toyman, who is one of my least favorite Supes enemies. Different characters I know, but the name is just too similar, and quite honestly, too childish. But art: good. Story: not quite as good...x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-26958598650222493592011-10-07T00:06:52.162-04:002011-10-07T00:06:52.162-04:00I too am kind of on the fence with this one.

Some of the dialogue was a little clunky aagain but overall it was pretty well written. The art is always good with daniel. A grimacing batman is a winner in my book. THe dollmaker is a dumb name and i feel that they could have come up with something more creative like i dunno... the piecer? haha i dunno anything is better than dollmaker. Anyway he does have a decent design but the typical pretty lady working as a family henchman was a negative for me. Bruce rock climbing and sleeping with the reporter was just sort of awkward to me. I JUST finished reading this so it is really fresh in my mind. ANyway i'm giving this one a first arc look. If the arc comes full circle and is enjoyable I will stay on.cap von trappnoreply@blogger.com
