Batman: Arkham City was easily one of the best presents I got for the holidays. There’s a very good reason that everyone is calling this game the best Batman game ever. Only the Batman game on the original Nintendo Entertainment System comes close to this one in terms of good game play and overall fun.

Modern Warfare 3 Finishes the Trilogy on Target
After Call of Duty: Black Ops was released in November 2010, I was excited for Infinity Ward and Activision to release another Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (MW) title.

I hate it when I’m right about these kinds of predictions, but this time I was wrong. Despite small flaws, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is an enjoyable game that gives my Call of Duty fix a boost.

The Artist Silences Audiences With Nostaglia
While movies have been innovated over the years by how people see them, from eye-popping 3D to awe inspiring IMAX, there is very little reason to regress to old filming techniques.

That is unless you’re a struggling college student because then it’s a bit more difficult. While “Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark” and “Book of Mormon” might be the toast of Broadway, tickets can come at a steep price.
