Penned by legendary comic book artist Joe Madureira (X-Men, Battle Chasers, The Ultimates), Darksiders: Wrath of War is set in a Post-Apocalyptic demon-ravaged world where evil forces have prematurely brought about the end of the time. Originally sent to oversee the destruction of Earth, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been betrayed by their master, stripped of their powers and cast down to Earth. Players take on the role of WAR — the first of the Four Horsemen — as he embarks on a brutal quest of vengeance and revenge against the forces that betrayed him with the help of his phantom steed RUIN. Darksiders features open-world exploration, a deep combat system and a huge arsenal of modern and mythical weapons.
Batman: The Telltale Series — Episode 4: Guardian of Gotham
Release Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2016
- See the full season on Steam for $24.99
- Also downloadable on PS4, Xbox One & Mobile
Enter the fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne and discover the powerful and far-reaching consequences of your choices as the Dark Knight. In this gritty and violent new story you’ll make discoveries that will shatter Bruce Wayne’s world, and the already fragile stability of a corrupt Gotham City.
In Episode 4, Penguin has taken control of Wayne Enterprises, and the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane has a new guest – you – Bruce Wayne. With the Batman removed from the streets of Gotham City, Harvey Dent’s forces and the Children of Arkham are at war, with innocent citizens caught in the crossfire. To escape the ‘comforts’ of your padded cell, you must choose allies to aid in your escape, even if they aren’t the sort to put a smile on your face. How far are you willing to go for justice? For vengeance? What now, Dark Knight?
Kubo and the Two Strings
Release Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2016
From our Review: What’s more entertaining than an animated story of a boy and his quest? A stop-motion animated story of a boy and his quest. From the studio that created ParaNorman, Coraline, and The Boxtrolls comes Laika’s newest film and sweeping 3-D epic, Kubo and the Two Strings. It’s not just the story that’s big either, but also the people behind the camera. From composer Dario Marianelli, to first time director, president and CEO of Laika Travis Knight, to the voices of Academy Award-winning and nominated actors like Charlize Theron, Matthew McConaughey, Rooney Mara, and Ralph Fiennes, Kubo and the Two Strings goes above and beyond both on and off screen.
Hell or High Water
Release Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2016
- See it on Amazon for $20 (Blu-ray)
From our Review: The film opens with quiet aggression. The two leads taking part in their first bank robbery. The motivation is unknown but we’re already interested because cinematographer Giles Nuttgens has introduced viewers to three main elements of the film: brothers Tanner and Toby, bank robberies, and West Texas. With a 360 pan of what appears to be a small deserted town, graffiti tagged on buildings, empty storefronts, and boarded up windows, viewers are immediately dropped into the main characters’ world. A beat up blue sports car drives slowly, thoughtfully through the blank streets until it reaches a bank where a woman is fumbling with her keys to open shop. This is one of a set number of robberies that audiences will witness over the course of the film.
