One thing we’ve learned is there are too many games and too little time to play them all. This also means there isn’t even enough time to give all of them awards, but we try our best. Today we take a look at both the most time consuming efforts of the past year as well as give some awards for games that deserve some notable mentions as well.
Game Most Likely to Consume Your Life: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Two Hundred and Fifty Hours. By most estimates, this is how long it’ll take an average player to explore MOST of the content of Skyrim. To give some perspective, if the average person works a 40 hour a week job, Skyrim would take six and a quarter full work weeks to complete. Now, we realize that most gamers work jobs outside of the gaming industry and cannot devote a full forty hours a week to a single game.

Batman: Arkham City is about to unleash it’s first major DLC, and Warner Bros has just released the pack’s first trailer. The Nightwing DLC gives you a new character to play, exclusive maps and another Batman: The Animated Series skin. The new content adds in the fan favorite Nightwing who began his crime frighting career as the original Robin.
Nightwing as a character brings a few new tweaks to the already stellar fighting mechanics. His history as an acrobat has not been ignored with some incredible agility displayed in the trailer, and his wrist shooter looks to be executed very well. The weapon of choice for the newest hero in this game is his dual batons, these dangerous blunt weapons also appear to have some connective electric properties. Undoubtedly these will be a blast to stick into the faces of random goons for hours and hours.
If there is a single problem I have had with the Batman Arkham games it has been with character design. It took me a long time to get behind the main looks in Arkham Asylum, and only Two-Face really gels with me right now in Arkham City. Principle amongst the new characters whose design I don’t like is Robin, so my excitement level goes through the roof when we see a Nightwing that looks perfect.
The DLC hits on November 1st and you can catch the full trailer after the jump.

Though he may have been considered a joke when a certain former Cailifornaian Governor portrayed him back in the 90s, Mr. Freeze is a pretty bad ass member of Batman’s rogues gallery.
With a touching backstory and awesome gimmick, you could understand why the fine folks at Rocksteady and WB Games would want “the ice man” to be a villain in the upcoming sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum.
From what we can tell, Freeze joins in the fight against Bats with fellow Arkham convicts The Riddler, Hugo Strange, and our old pal The Joker returning for more action.
We’ve got a brand new trailer in which Bats (played by the one and only Kevin Conroy) and Mr. Freeze have some pretty intense words, and even throw a few punches.
Check out the trailer after the jump and be sure to get on the Arkham City bandwagon as the game hits theaters October 21st.
