Review: Batman Realm of Shadows

Published

on

Batman is kinda the hog in Bruce Wayne’s life. We tend to see a lot more of the bat than we do Bruce. What lies under the mask of Bruce Wayne? What makes him tick? Does he like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? What are his political beliefs? Well, Telltale Games latest, “Batman: Real of Shadows” answers some of those questions by putting you in shoes of Bruce Wayne as much as it does the cowl of the caped crusader.

This is the first episode of five. Like other TellTale Games it is built on choices and quicktime events. This time around you are Batman and Bruce Wayne. As the Bat you go around doing Batman things. Thwarting villainy, using bat tech gadgets and being an all around badass. As Bruce Wayne you are attempting to shift power to a Harvey Dent campaign to keep Gotham safe.

The game begins with a brawl with Catwoman, before shifting into a political fundraiser at Wayne Mansion. Bruce is backing Harvey Dent and schmoozing with Gothamites in order to secure Dent a spot in the election. This part has you selecting dialogue to have voters side with your friend, Dent. When mobster, Carmine Falcone makes an appearance at the event both Dent and Wayne are tied to rumors that they are working with the mob.

This entry does a good job at revitalizing the world of Batman. Character models are tweaked and some backstories are shifted in order to give you a fresh look at the characters and story that we are used to.

Fights are a series of quicktime events that are rarely as satisfying as controlling Batman in the Arkham series but they are still fun enough. These are interactive movies for the most part and that is a cool way to merge the two formats together. Dialogue choices again form the world mold the world around you and choices you make impact the story later on.

A new option of group play is available this time around. For, example if you and some friends are sitting around watching you play, they can vote for dialogue choices from their smartphones in order to assist in choices, making this a cool party game for fans of Batsy.

If you are a fan of Telltale Games and Batman you will be a fan of this. While this isn’t a strong episode, it does a good job of setting up the set-pieces, characters and ,of course, a cliffhanger. The story is promising and I’m looking forward to see what is next for Batman and alter ego Bruce Wayne.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
