The upcoming flight simulator/air combat game tagged with the moniker of Tom Clancy (Rainbow Six Vegas, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, EndWar) has given you more to look forward to. GeoEye has partnered with Ubisoft to provide high-res images taken from it's IKONOS satellite for use as backdrop in the game. What's that mean for you? Authentic, accurate settings of over 16 international location, including Rio de Janeiro, Cape Canaveral, and the Middle East.
"High-resolution satellite imaging is moving from the black world of intelligence to the white world of commerce and Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X will bring that reality to gamers," said Mark Brender, vice president, corporate communications and marketing at GeoEye. "With video game graphics becoming more realistic, the use of high-quality photographic ground textures in H.A.W.X adds true photo-realism to the air combat experience."

With rumors swirling about a Batman movie tie-in game getting a Gotham City womb knifing due to inadequate gameplay, Eidos and their Rocksteady Studios dev team have begun their own efforts to bring the caped crusader to a console near you. Batman Arkham Asylum has been in the works for some tme now and the group have released-then-unreleased a boatload of screenshots on their Web site. But because we all live on the Internet, we know that once something goes into the wild, it stays there forever, which is why we got our hands on them before they went mysteriously missing. More on the game from their site:
"Based on the core BATMAN license, experience a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that will take you to the depths of ARKHAM ASYLUM. Move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst your enemies and confront The Joker and GOTHAM CITY's most notorious villains who have taken over
the asylum. Use a wide range of Batman gadgets and abilities as you
become the invisible predator and attempt to foil the Joker's demented
scheme."

The guys and gals over at Atom release a funny short every Thursday and this week they've thrown their lovable protagonist Neil into the world of Zelda with their new video, "Legend of Neil, Episode 2: First Blood." After finding himself lost in The Lost Woods, Neil comes across an Octorock and the Old Man and finds out the real meaning of life—or, at least, the world of Zelda is one mean and cruel place. Who knew Link was such a potty mouth?
