Our very own Casey Lyons has recently posted his Batman: Arkham Asylum review.

The game play is worth the time spent. The whole things takes place in third person, over the shoulder, style. Batman navigates around Arkham island leaping, grappling and crawling through the landscape. The navigation of the levels is fun and well thought out, with much of the combat requiring you to perch atop gargoyles to asses the room before descending on an armed inmate and grappling back up into the darkness.

Today at PAX 2010, Disney Interactive released some new screenshots of Disney's Epic Mickey.  Also the official logo has been released...Look up. Take a look at the new screenshots below.

I've never been a fan of 3rd party controllers, I always think how can you perfect perfection? Say what you will, 1st party controllers are always rock solid.  However there are some companies that take the first party controller and try to improve on it.  The Nyko Wand+ has gotten our attention since it, for the most part, keeps the same design but also includes the Wii Motion Plus for $39.99.  The Nyko Wand+ is available in stores now at GameStop, K-mart, and Amazon.com.  Check out the press release below.

Nyko Technologies®, the leading videogame peripherals manufacturer, today announced that its Wand+™ for the Wii™ is now available at major retailers across North America, including GameStop, and K-mart, and online at Amazon.com. The Wand+ is a wireless controller for the Wii that features Full Motion Technology™ support, Trans-Port Technology™, a sleek custom design and exceptional Bluetooth® communication.

Designed to be the most advanced and user-friendly controller on the market for the Wii, Nyko’s Wand+ includes built-in Full Motion Technology providing 1:1 movement tracking compatible with all Wii Motion Plus™ games. Wii gamers can simply pick up the Wand+ and play, with no need for additional dongles or attachments.

The Wand+ also boasts Nyko’s Trans-Port Technology, which allows key action buttons to be digitally replicated on other devices and pass sound and vibration signals through specially designed accessories and attachments for the ultimate gameplay experience. The Wand+’s custom design features enlarged and highly responsive buttons that enable more accurate and comfortable gameplay. Ergonomically designed for left- and right-handed use, the Wand+ features Nyko’s unique Soft Feel Surface that ensures a better hold of the remote. With Bluetooth® technology, wireless play is available up to 20 feet away from the console.

“When developing the Wand+, we wanted to create an all-in-one remote that offered versatility and convenience,” said Chris Arbogast, director of marketing for Nyko Technologies. “The technology used to create this controller will help our customers eliminate extra accessories and clutter from their entertainment centers while still providing a quality gameplay experience."

The Wand+ is available in black, grey and white/black, for an MSRP of $39.99.
