The official trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins was released, but while there was no gameplay shown the essence that is the Batman Arkham games is still there, Batman kicking ass. Of course Batman is in the game, and it looks like Black Mask will be the main villain unless that's what looks like, it could just be a clever ploy. It looks like Deadshot is also in the game, hunting down Batman thought out. Deathstroke loolks like to be taking over the role of catwoman in this game, but I don't like the fact I will have to pre-order to play as him, I didn't have to pre-order catwoman in Arkham City, she was an online pass feature. Batman Arkham Origins looks amazing, I hope there is some gameplay revealed at E3 this year.</center>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today on Bethesda's official blog, they announced all work with exception to some patches, on skyrim has ended. From the <a href="http://www.bethblog.com/2013/04/15/moving-to-our-next-adventure/" target="_blank">BethBlog</a>-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: black;"><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;">"<span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Skyrim has been a labor of love for us since we started designing it in 2006. We never imagined it would become the phenomenon it has. And that is because of you, the fans. It was all of you who made it a success. We can’t thank you enough for embracing the game, spreading the word, and making it your own.</span></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;"><br /></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;">For the last year and a half we’ve been working on new content for Skyrim; from the game updates, Creation Kit, Steam Workshop, Kinect support, to DLCs. Parts of our team have also been in pre-production on our next major project, and that game is at the point where it requires the studio’s full attention to make it our biggest and best work yet.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;">Even though we’re moving on, we’ll still have minor updates to Skyrim as needed. We’ve invested so much of ourselves into Skyrim and will never truly say goodbye to it.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;">We loved hearing your stories, your in-game triumphs, and your suggestions. One thing stuck out to us through those emails, letters, and postings. And that is – video games matter. They’re as important to you as they are to us. It’s not just about entertainment, it’s about your time. And you chose to spend it with our game.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;"><br /></i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">
<i style="background-color: transparent;">Thank you again for all your support. We hope you stay engaged in the gaming community here and elsewhere. Keep spreading the word. Games are the world’s best entertainment because they can do what other forms cannot – fill you with the wonder of exploration and the pride of accomplishment. We look forward to sharing our next adventure with you.</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 19px;">Skyrim has been both a celebrated and a disappointing game. If you owned the PS3 version, you have the right to be disappointed, with save problems and a long long delay for the release for DLC. That is the reason why I borrowed the Xbox 360 version from the library. Surly Bethesda will release a Skyrim Game Of The Year Edition like they have done with the last two Elder scrolls games, with all the DLC included. The developer is moving on to The Elder Scrolls Online and a new project, most likely a next gen elder scrolls. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The real reason why the next Xbox will require an always on connection may have nothing to do with gaming The next Xbox could connect to a cable box or broadcast TV signals and make you TV more interactive. While I do like the sound of that( This could mean the Next Xbox could have DVR capabilities , the possibility of having consent notification of Xbox live friends coming online while I'm watching TV will get old fast. </div>

EA games once again has become the worst company in america yet again. I'm sure this whole Sim City mess did help them any. I really hope EA works on fixing this because there are surely a better (in this case, a worse) company that deserves this title. </div>

Gameinformer magazine announced on their May cover that Batman Arkham Origins is coming on October 25 to Wii U, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Last week, Minecraft 360 title update 9 was released. The end has come to MC360, you can now take one the ender dragon along with you Xbox live buddies. Along with that, new textures, and new music for the nether. comes spawn eggs in creative mode that allows to spawn mobs (both good and bad) in creative. Sadly there are a few bugs that make the game a pain in the ass to play. Mainly the lighting...</div>

The lighting problem is pretty bad. As you can see in the images above, lighting just won't work right when underground, even with a torch and lava near by this" black hole". But not to threat 4J studios already has TU10 ready to for Microsoft to approve it for release. <a href="http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1274802-mcxbla-title-update-change-logs-title-update-10/" target="_blank">Here are the fixes coming in TU10 </a></div>

40 years ago today, Atari was born. Forever it will be known
as the father of modern gaming. Atari had its high, then its low, but it’s
still around even though it no longer makes consoles, it still makes games and
celebrates its past ones.<o:p></o:p></div>

I’m going to focus on my experience with the Atari 2600, my
very first gaming console. It was pasted down to me by my grandmother and my
mother played it with her sisters and brother when she was young. Also at the
time the one dollar store was selling new 2600 games. In the pic above are a section
of the games I have. I loved q*bert,

not have was Mario bros and endure, which I completed. My Atari 2600 no longer
works, which is sad because I would play these games over and over again. They
are not like today’s games, where it takes 6hrs and you beat it, these games
make you work for it, and the only goal was to get to the next level and
survive<o:p></o:p></div>

overlays had to be put over the TV screen to add color to the games. It also had
a light gun add on. Due to bad marketing, sales were poor. Baer would go on to create

The Atari 2600 is one of the greatest video game systems of
all time. At some point in one’s gaming life, they must have played at least
one 2600 game. Initially called Atari VCS (Video Computer System) along with a variety of names
depending on where it was sold, it would eventually be change to Atari 2600.
The Atari 2600 rode high until the crash in 1983, which after <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="ca8eae90b5fdf1715963357c2d4ce337568f7617" grtype="null" id="GRmark_ca8eae90b5fdf1715963357c2d4ce337568f7617_had:0">had</span> to compete

<o:p></o:p>In 1982, Coleco, well known for cabbage patch dolls,
released Colecovision . It had success from licensing games from Nintendo,
which was touted to have near arcade graphics. Colecovision had 3 expansion modules, one let
you played 2600 games, another was a steering wheel, and the last turned into a
home PC. Much like many consoles of this
era, it suffered from the 1983 crash and was discontinued<b> </b>in 1985.</div>

The Walking Dead, the popular zombie apocalypse comic book
now has a game based off it. I case you don’t know what the walking dead is
about, it follows the lives of a band of survivors as they make their way across
the country now riddled with zombies and other survivors, losing and gain more people
with every “HOLY SHIT” moment that comes. The game follows this formula. As Lee
Everat, you on your way to jail, till the zombie apocalypse provides you with
the greatest get out of jail free card ever. Along the way you meet others and gain a
little girl as your main companion as you know survive in this new world.<o:p></o:p></div>

The game is played much like an adventure game. The left
stick is used to move and the right to look/interactions. The different buttons
offer different interactions, like X <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="78168a96826a6801577e5efced8cc30f51f78a61" grtype="null" id="GRmark_78168a96826a6801577e5efced8cc30f51f78a61_being:0">being</span> the action button, or the triangle being

Gaining their trust or losing it will affect you even after the first episode. You
also have a time limit to make your choices, removing any thinking on your part
and going with your gut more often. Then there’s the “HOLY SHIT BAD STUFF IS

Epic Games and it well know lead designer cliffy b, announced at PAX East that they are working on a PC only title. No details were given but it could be many things. This new "PC only title" could be the next game that put Epic games on the map and it's main graphics engine name shake,<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, this new game will be Unreal 3, and it will be powered by the Unreal engine 4. This is the reason why it's not being made for the current gen on consoles, they don't have the power to run next gen graphics unlike PC games. But don't worry, I'm sure whatever this game really is, it will find it's way to the next PS or Xbox console.</div>

I’ve wanted to do this for a while, a post talking about the
consoles that laid the ground work for today’s gaming systems. Instead of using
generations, I have broken them down into eras (see timeline above), naming the

some eras, PS2 and Xbox for example. Here’s the breakdown of the consoles per

I will be doing each era in its own blog post. Now I’m not
going to be talking about every console show in the list, that’s where you come
in. I’m going to be putting up a pole both on here and on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GeekInTheMiddleOfNowhere" target="_blank">the Facebook page</a> beginning
with the origin era, and the top 3 or 4 consoles will be featured. Why am I doing this? This will lead to a "what is the best video game console of history" post in the future.If there is
a console I left out that deserves to be listed, just let me know on twitter,
the FB page, <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/103379378572313816842/" target="_blank">the G+ page</a>, or by commenting below.<o:p></o:p></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Big Battlefield 3 patch has been released for PS3 and PC users last week, and everyone seems to have an option about it. Some love, many seem to be pissed about it. Me? I like it but do have some things I don't like. I have notice much gameplay wise, I really don't pay that much attention to the guns and the way they handle. I did notice the F2000 was not the same, I'm going to take the suppressor off to see if that helps before i go switching guns. I do notice the amount of USAS user have greatly dropped. And the new map look is great. I do not like that claymores now go away after you die, causing me from stopping using them altogether other than just using them on some maps. I don't care much for the new substitution business, a new way for EA to get more money. EA should give me the $14 for unlocking all the items for the classes I have done that with. And finally the rent-a-sever, I have mixed feelings over it. One, it's is a great thing to have on a console, you can just have a game with you best buds, although you gotta pay for it. But DICE has messed up how to make your sever private (check out the video below to see how to make it private). Also you can get dropped into via quick match a sever where the renter does not want you there and get kicked, this can be fixed with a "join EA/DICE severs only" option on quick match. Some of the non-EA/DICE severs are great, with tickets going into the 1000's. So with the build up and what seems forever for it to be released, the patch in the over all is great, yet with a few missteps. Battlefield 3 has greatly benefited because of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div>This Years Super Bowl ads, well they were weak, but the movies trailers seemed to be the best out of the bunch, lets take a look at a few of them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

</center><center style="text-align: left;">Battleship.....maybe some toys are not good candidate for a movie. This trailer has put me off, well at least till, it comes out on DVD. By the way, they are making a Monopoly movie, I bet that will win an oscar.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br />
</center><br />
<br />

</center><center style="text-align: left;">I really haven't been paying attention to John Carter till this trailer, now I need to read John Carter Of Mars. Great trailer, and great use of Led Zeplin's "Kasmir"</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br />
</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br />

</center><center style="text-align: left;">G.I. Joe Retaliation has made me do 2 things. 1, want to see this G.I. Joe Movie 2. request the first G.I. Joe movie from the library. I wonder how the Rock and Bruce Willis on screen chemistry is going to work out?</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">With the new Batman and Spider-Man movies absent, The Avengers was the sole Hero Movie trailer in the bunch, and is the best one out of all the trailers this year. This movie is going to be amazing. I wonder if the hulk is going to be the same hulk that will be in the new hulk TV show this fall? Would be great if it was.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Doctor Who The Eternity Clock is coming this March to PS3 and Vita via Download. It is a side-scroller featuring of course the doctor and river song. To be honest, I think this game will disappoint. I always envisioned a third-person or a FPS doctor who game where the only weapon you have is you wits and a sonic screwdriver. A side-Scroller? Just don't seem to fit. Well I hope there are a lot of puzzles to solve. I hope it's good enough to make Doctor Who fans happy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">A Sonic the Hedgehog fan favorite has come to PSN (and XBLA), the 1993 classic has been called one of the best sonic games made and of of the hardest. Does this version with some add-on still hold up?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gamesplaynow.info/wp-content/uploads/Sonic-CD-Gameplay-1-4e5d7e9d8cb10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://www.gamesplaynow.info/wp-content/uploads/Sonic-CD-Gameplay-1-4e5d7e9d8cb10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Sonic CD begins with a animated sequence from the old DIC cartoon, having an animated sequence was big for a game back in '93. You don't how the story really starts out, you're out to stop Dr.Robotnik in one of his plans to turn the world into robots. For some reason, he's put up time gates for to to go forward and back in time, oh and a metal sonic steals amy, sonic's lady friend. Over all this is just a regular classic sonic games, run, doge or kill enemies, get at least 50 rings, and get the gem in the special stage. I didn't really find this hard at all till the end, though I did not try to get the gems or find the metal sonic statues. Time attack is great if like to go as fast as you can in a level. A bonus in this version is if you beat the game, you can replay it as tails, which is great but I wish they included knuckles as well. Also include is the English and Japaneses soundtracks, which is far superior ton the English one, only could stand it for 5 minutes. I wish it would let you make multiple save files for the same game you're playing, miss getting a gem, you have to restart the whole game. For $4.99 Sonic CD is a great download, special if like me, you never had a Sega CD. Sonic CD is a great classic that any hardcore sonic fan must play. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Yesterday EA and Bioware released a video showing how the Kinect works in Mass Effect 3. Voice commands are the main functionality for Kinect controls, no motion here. Team commands are the focus with Kinect controls, and looks like the best part. Telling you team to use attacks, move, and cover you with voice commands is much faster and better that using the menu. Even switching weapons is better and faster with voice commands. They do have "shoot" and "throw grenades" commands, which from my experience with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050SYY5E/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ageekinthemid-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0050SYY5E">Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ageekinthemid-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0050SYY5E" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> , is completely worthless and better done with the controller. With no motion controls at all in Mass Effect 3, why use the Kinect at all, why not do it from the headset? I'm sure you use commands via the headset and it will work just fine, you can even extend that over to the PS3 players. It must be a Kinect software thing.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last Night during Microsoft's final CES Keynote, Kinect for Windows was announced, along with it's launch date of February 1st. The problem? It's going to cost $249, more than a stand alone 360 kinect, and more than a packaged 360 + Kinect. Why do you have to pay more? Because Kinect for windows is more than use to play games with, it's more for unfun important adult stuff. At least you get development software and updates to the already releases Kinect SDK. So can you use your 360 Kinect on Windows? Nope, Microsoft says it an entirely different licence, you know, those thing that make if illegal to copy software so your grandma can use word with out having to pay for it. I wonder why Microsoft just make 360 kinect owners pay for the Kinect for windows licence? They just <b>LOVE </b>to bleed money from us, why no squeeze us some more. I predict that the licence will be made available for purchase for 360 kinect owners later on in the year. I also belive PC games will have kinect capabilities some time this year as well</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">With so many classic games being released through online stores like Xbox live games market place, Playstaion store, steam, even good old games, an web site that sells old PC games, there are some that I would love to see be released for download. Recently one game that wanted to play for the longest time, Sonic CD, was released over Xbox live and PSN, hence the reason why I began to think of what other games I would love to be released.. I came up with these 5 games. (note: these games have may already been released for download, I may just not have notice yet)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Panzer Dragon (any of the games from the series)</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2009/04/50%20games%20with%20untapped%20franchise%20potential/Screens/Panzer_Dragoon--article_image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2009/04/50%20games%20with%20untapped%20franchise%20potential/Screens/Panzer_Dragoon--article_image.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have always wanted to play a Panzer Dragon games, but I did not own a Sega Saturn or in the case of Panzer Dragon Orta, a Xbox. This game would make a great candidate for release for download, a HD remake or even a new title!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Metal Gear/Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have played both these games, and did not get very far in them. They are a part of Metal Gear history and have been inserted in to the Metal Gear canter. They even made a appearance in metal gear solid 2. I think metal gear fan would gobble these games up if made available for download.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Unlike most of the games on the list, I believe Mega Man Legends has the highest chance of being released for download vis PSN's PSone Classics. It would make up for Capcom's canceling that Mega Man legends game</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The game was original to be made free to PS3 owners of Battlefield 3 but was pulled. Now after complaints and lawyers, EA was wised up and is giving us the game. <a href="https://help.ea.com/article/battlefield-1943-for-bf3-ps3-customers" target="_blank">here's the info and when you can get </a>yours.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
