Best Character: Bayonetta (Bayonetta) When *Bayonetta* arrived early this year it seemed to come out of nowhere to huge critical acclaim. This was undoubtedly helped by its title character, who happens to be a shapeshifting witch with very remarkable hair that she can use as a weapon. It’s no exactly uncommon for the Japanese to use hot female characters in video games, but *Bayonetta *seems to have a charm that makes her as memorable as she is unique.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is widely considered to be one of the best multiplayer experiences on the current set of consoles. With crisp graphics, a deep set of customization options, destructible environments, and gameplay that actually encouraged teamwork, B Company’s second outing was no slouch. Unfortunately, with developer DICE’s current status as EA’s workhorse, there was not much time in their schedule between Medal of Honor and Battlefield 3 to actually expand upon the juggernaut they had created. Finally, after months of waiting, the first significant expansion to the game has been released. Is it worth the wait?
Ubisoft recently confirmed the rumors that they would be porting three of last generation’s best stealth games to the PS3. Splinter Cell Trilogy HD, which would presumably consist of Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory, will release on the PS3 at a date yet to be specified.

No further information has been made available, but we will keep you updated.

The super hero MMO will go live January 11th in North America, and January 14th in the UK. A Sony representative confirmed the date in an interview with IGN, in which a $199 “lifetime subscription” option was also detailed. This one-time payment, equaling just over 13 months in the game’s normal $15/month subscription fee, would allow players unlimited access to the game for as long as they want. Do not feel pressured to make a payment decision right away, though; new copies of the game will ship with a free month of play as a sort of “Thank you” from SOE.
As is becoming the tradition these days, Crystal Dynamics has announced that they will be releasing some of their back catalog on the PS3 in the near future. The last three Tomb Raider games, Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld, will be released together under the name Tomb Raider Trilogy. This actually marks a significant event for fans of Lady Croft and the PS3, as the former two games have never appeared on Sony’s console before. Unlike Ubisoft’s similar efforts with Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider Trilogy will be disc-based and not available for download.
