It’s the last show before your intrepid heroes set off for PAX and parts unknown. This was originally supposed to be a shorter show but it surprisingly turned into a normal sized one before our eyes as if by magic. Be sure to check out the second half of the show in which we weigh in on the Gamestop used games debate. It made for some very interesting discussion. Don’t forget to stick around for the Batman Superman award!
Apologies for the lower audio quality than usual as we had to use skype to make sure we got out a show for you, the fans! Both of you!

I know someone who’s going to love this news… According to the Hollywood Reporter, talks have begun between Warner Bros. TV and DC Comics (aren’t they the same company?) about developing a series based on Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series:
The author is not involved in the new developments, though since it is early in the process, that may change. In fact, securing Gaiman will prove key for the project to go forward.
This would fill the void of CW’s departing “Smallville” series. The article also made mention of “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke being tapped as the show-runner. This could turn out to be a sleeper hit.

New screens of Batman Arkham City have surfaced today, and they’re real jaw droppers. Head past the break to see the entire gallery. Apparently there are also rumblings that we could see a new multiplayer mode this time around as well. Developer Rocksteady has proven that they know they’re stuff, so it’s easy to say we could be looking at one of the best games of next year.
Batman Arkham City releases in Fall of 2011

There’s been quite a bit of news that affects 360 gamers over the past few days, and it’s guaranteed to make you twist and shout. First the twist: Microsoft has revealed a new 360 controller that supposedly fixes the oft criticized directional pad in the original controller. The solution? A new D-pad that rises up from the controller when twisted 180 degrees. The controller is only available as part of a play and charge kit for $64.99 Those that want to get their grubby digits around said peripheral will have to wait until after November 9th.
As far as that whole “shouting” part is concerned, it seems that the folks down in Redmond have seen fit to raise the price of Xbox Live. Beginning November 1st of this year, 1 month Gold subscriptions go from $7.99 to $9.99, 3-month Gold subscriptions from $19.99 to $24.99 and finally 12-month subscriptions go from $49.99 to $59.99. speculation seems to point in the direction of upcoming ESPN3 integration as the likely culprit of the price hike, but as of right now no one really knows why Microsoft has decided to ransom the collective accounts of Live gamers for more money.

The Divine Comedy is truly a classic work of literature. The epitome of Italian writing according to most critics, writer Dante Alighieri told his tale in three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The first section of this tale is the one most commonly referenced. Does this poem translate into a great action game and an amazingly well written and illustrated comic adaptation? Well… Read on. Welcome to Double Tap 2uesday. Read the rest of this entry »

Summer’s coming to an end, which means we have to say goodbye to our intern, Nick (who you’ll remember from this review). He’s a pretty cool guy, so I decided to do something special for him as he goes off to college. I set out to make him his very own question mark block from Super Mario Bros. Although we were fresh out of mushrooms, fire flowers, and 1-ups, I still managed to throw a few clever items in as well. Hit the warp pipe and read on. Oh, and remember it’s never game over if you hold A when you press start.

Just because this week’s show is shorter doesn’t mean it’s not packed with content! But just why exactly is this episode considerably shorter that usual? Who will take home this week’s Superman/Batman award? Why should you stick around after the closing theme? All these questions and more are answered in Episode 11 of GCPD!

Last week saw the release of both the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, as well as the game on the Playstation network. Since both the movie and the game were both based on the long running comic series, I thought it would be a great idea to do a special edition of our “Double Tap 2uesday” features that covered all 3 versions of the series. So read on as I cover Scott Pilgrim in his comic, film and game incarnations! It’s the Triple Tap-out!

Anyone who as listened to the podcast will know that Matt and I are huge fans of the talented folks at Insomniac Games. After the way Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time ended, we were afraid that it would be quite some time before we saw another R&C game. Well, those fears can be put to rest today as the studio recently unveiled Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One at a Sony event at Gamescom. Although insomniac recently announced that they would be going multiplatform, All 4 One is exclusive to the PS3 and for the first time in the series, sports drop-in-drop-out 4 player co-op play. Players take control of Ratchet, Clank, Captain Qwark and Dr. Nefarious as they try to stop one of Nefarious’ own plans gone terribly awry.
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One is set to release in Fall of 2011.
Check out the first trailer for the game after the break.
