GAME SYNOPSIS
Batman: Arkham Asylum is a third-person action game casting you as -- you guessed it, chum -- the Dark Knight himself. The title opens with Batman racing back to Arkham, Gotham's home for the criminally insane, with the Joker in tow. Seems the Clown Prince of Crime broke out a few weeks ago, but Batman was able to track him down and re-apprehend the baddie. However, things are never what they seem with the Joker, so after getting the wiry maniac back into the building -- a building stocked with hundreds of the Joker's goons after a "mysterious" fire at their prison -- Mr. J breaks free with the help of Harley Quinn, takes control of the penitentiary, and releases all the inmates.

assains creed 2
Assassin's Creed II is the follow-up to Ubisoft's 2007 hit that attracted a mass audience if not unanimous critical acclaim. The sequel is an expansive and bloody romp through Renaissance Italy that plays up every popular aspect of the first installment while righting many of its flaws. Assassin's Creed II has evolved from an ill-defined action game into a fully featured open world experience. Everything from the new monetary system to the ability to buy armor and weapons makes it a richer, and ultimately more satisfying game than its predecessor.
The plot of Assassin's Creed pulls together a bit of The Matrix, a lot of historical fiction, and throws in elements of the madcap conspiracy theories found in a Dan Brown novel. The series also has the benefit of being crafted by some of the most talented hands in game development. With only a handful of exceptions, the environments, animations, and art are beautifully portrayed. In addition to its good looks, the sequel's gameplay builds so much upon the foundations of the first game, that in retrospect, the first Assassin's Creed looks like little more than a technical demonstration.

Synopsis:
L.A. Noire follows Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective and World War II veteran who is haunted by his actions in the war. Phelps is from San Francisco, California, and is a Stanford University graduate who commissioned into the United States Marine Corps in 1942. He often clashed over matters regarding military procedure with his fellow Marine Jack Kelso. The events of L.A. Noire largely take place after the end of the war, following Phelps' career as a police officer, although flashbacks document events during the war which have a direct influence on the present.
Phelps served as a Second Lieutenant in the 6th Marine Division in the Battle of Okinawa. During a battle on Sugar Loaf Hill, he witnessed his fellow Marines being slaughtered by Japanese soldiers. The trauma of this caused Phelps to go into shock and he hid in a fox hole, until Kelso found him the following morning. For his actions, Phelps was awarded the Silver Star and promoted to First Lieutenant, achieving status as a war hero. However, Phelps was branded a coward by his fellow Marines. Phelps was shamed by the event, and became determined to prove himself.
Near the end of the battle, Phelps was given orders to clear out any houses or caves that might be housing Japanese soldiers. Phelps and his unit came upon a large cave that he suspected to be holding soldiers, and he requisitioned a flamethrower from another squad in order to clear it out, wanting to "do it by the numbers". Flamethrower Corporal Ira Hogeboom was assigned to incinerate the cave. Upon investigation, Phelps and his squad realized the cave was a makeshift medical hospital for wounded Japanese civilians. Phelps, he and his squad in a panic, ordered the execution of the civilians to "put them out of their misery." Pushed to the breaking point by Cole's orders, medic Private Courtney Sheldon shot Cole in the back. Kelso ordered for Phelps to be taken to an Army field hospital and then told the men to never speak about the event.
The game begins with Phelps on the Patrol Desk at the Wilshire Division 7 Police Station as a new member of the Los Angeles Police Department in Los Angeles, California, in 1947, investigating a murder with his new partner, Officer Ralph Dunn. After catching the killer, Phelps discovers a pay-out notebook, which contains the name of the Homicide detective in charge of the case, Floyd Rose, whom the two dislike. Phelps decides not to reveal this, even though he thinks that the detective might be corrupt, and continues to work as a patrolman. After successfully interrogating a murder suspect and bringing him to justice, Captain Donnelly of the Homicide Desk gives Cole a promotion to the Traffic Desk.
Now a detective, Phelps receives his new partner, Detective Stefan Bekowsky. The two solve a case involving a man who faked his own death, catch a double-homicide suspect involved in a hit-and-run, and finally bring to justice a film producer responsible for statutory rape and attempted murder. Phelps is then promoted to the Burglary Desk. Phelps also meets the corrupt Vice Desk Detective Roy Earle on the desk, who introduces Cole to an emotionally damaged German lounge singer, Elsa Lichtmann, at a Hollywood jazz club.
After six months at Burglary, Phelps is once again promoted, this time to Homicide, where he and his new veteran and old school partner, Detective Finbarr "Rusty" Galloway, solve a series of very similar and gruesome murders committed by a serial killer: the same man who killed Elizabeth Short in The Black Dahlia murder that same year. At first, Galloway believes all the murders to have been committed by the victim's husband or boyfriend, suspecting that each is only a copy-cat of the previous, with no connection at all. Finally, however, they realize, after arresting five innocent men, that the murders were committed by the same man. The two track him to an abandoned church catacombs, following a trail of notes and clues left by the killer. They discover the killer is one of the bartenders Cole spoke with while investigating one of the first murders, who strung the two along. Once he is killed, Captain Donnelly dismisses the case and releases the innocent quietly, explaining that the killer is a relative of one of the most powerful politicians in the country, and releasing the information could cause a massive scandal.
Phelps is then promoted to the Vice Desk. He and his new partner, corrupt Chief Detective Roy Earle, succeed in halting Los Angeles's government-issued morphine and marijuana drug trade, and bringing down several drug dealers, including associates of real-life mobster Mickey Cohen. However, Phelps's past comes back to haunt him when a U.S. Marine from his former unit is found brutally murdered. Phelps discovers many of his former squad members are being assassinated as well, and after meeting with his old comrade, Jack Kelso, Phelps deduces that the men in his unit were selling morphine on the street after stealing a large supply from the U.S.S. Coolridge, the ship that carried the unit back to Los Angeles at the end of World War II. The men are being killed by the mob, who currently controls the drug trade and refuse to have competition. At the same time, Phelps begins an extramarital affair with Elsa. Because of the corrupt actions taken by the LAPD, Roy agrees to disclose Phelps' affair to get the public eye away from the corrupt members of city hall and the LAPD, including the mayor, police chief, and himself. Because of this, prior to the revealing of the drug trade by the members of his former unit, Phelps is removed from the case, suspended, and later demoted to Arson.
On the Arson Desk, Phelps partners with cynical World War I veteran Herschel Biggs, an expert on fires. Trying to reattain his former glory, Phelps investigates a series of house fires which he believes to be caused by an arsonist working for a company called Elysian Fields Development. Elysian Fields is running a program known as "The Suburban Redevelopment Fund," which hopes to build houses for homecoming American servicemen while obtaining more land. However, many of the houses made by the Suburban Redevelopment Fund keep burning down, and Phelps believes that Elysian Fields is behind the fires as part of an insurance scam.
Initially, Phelps makes progress with Herschel on the case, but he is warned off by Roy Earle, who is on the Elysian payroll. Realizing there is no way to investigate further by himself, Phelps manages to get Jack Kelso to work with him and Herschel, Kelso having become an insurance investigator for California Fire and Life. Through their work, they manage to not only topple Elysian Fields, but also the morphine case from Vice (the money made from selling the morphine was being invested in the Suburban Redevelopment Fund.) They also discover that the Suburban Redevelopment Fund is much more than an insurance scam. It is a scam in which poorly-built houses are overly insured by California Fire and Life, then cleared to make way for a new highway, resulting in complete recompense for the owners and a turnover of millions of dollars for the members of the fund. Eventually, Kelso finds out that the identity of the mysterious arsonist is Ira Hogeboom, the flamethrower in Phelps's squad. After the war, Hogeboom suffered from extreme guilt and mental anguish due to his actions in the war. Elysian used him as an arsonist, but he eventually got out of control, burning down houses that he was not told to burn and sometimes with the families still in the house. Hogeboom believed that by burning houses, he was helping people be together, and uniting them with God faster.
While hunting down the arsonist, Kelso finds out that Hogeboom has taken Elsa to the Los Angeles River Tunnels where he is trying to hide. Phelps and Kelso race to the River Tunnels and fight their way through corrupt policemen and thugs trying to stop all of them from uncovering the Suburban Redevelopment Fund scam. Due to a heavy rain, the waters in the sewer continue to rise to a dangerously high level. Eventually, they find Hogeboom and Elsa hiding from the thugs in the tunnels. Phelps, Kelso, and Elsa flee from the tunnels after Kelso puts Hogeboom out of his misery. Eventually, the trio finds an open manhole that Hershel uses to lift Elsa up from the surface. As the water begins to rise, Phelps voluntarily lifts Kelso to the surface as well; as there is no one else to help Phelps, he says a final goodbye to his comrades as a current sweeps him away, killing him.
A few days later, Phelps' funeral and memorial service takes place and all of Phelps' partners attend along with Kelso, Elsa, and his ex-wife and children. As Roy Earle delivers the eulogy, it is shown that many of the corrupt police officers and politicians are in attendance. Elsa stands up and berates Earle for belittling Cole's memory before storming out. Herschel tells Kelso that Kelso was never Cole's friend. Kelso replies that they were also never enemies. Hershel tells him that Cole knew that and then leaves to go after Elsa.
An end credits sequence shows the members of the Sixth Platoon on the way home from Japan on the USS Coolridge, during which Courtney Sheldon encourages his fellow Marines to participate in the morphine theft. While reading the paper, the soldiers learn of Cole's success as a police officer, and become jealous that they are not thought of as heroes. Kelso tells the other Marines that no matter how anyone else views them, he will always remember them as heroes, but if they steal the morphine and go down a path of crime, they will become nothing in his eyes. Unfortunately, the theft goes as planned, laying the foundation for much of the following story.

Synopsis:L.A. Noire follows Cole Phelps, an LAPD detective and World War II veteran who is haunted by his actions in the war. Phelps is from San Francisco, California, and is a Stanford University graduate who commissioned into the United States Marine Corps in 1942. He often clashed over matters regarding military procedure with his fellow Marine Jack Kelso. The events of L.A. Noire largely take place after the end of the war, following Phelps' career as a police officer, although flashbacks document events during the war which have a direct influence on the present.
Phelps served as a Second Lieutenant in the 6th Marine Division in the Battle of Okinawa. During a battle on Sugar Loaf Hill, he witnessed his fellow Marines being slaughtered by Japanese soldiers. The trauma of this caused Phelps to go into shock and he hid in a fox hole, until Kelso found him the following morning. For his actions, Phelps was awarded the Silver Star and promoted to First Lieutenant, achieving status as a war hero. However, Phelps was branded a coward by his fellow Marines. Phelps was shamed by the event, and became determined to prove himself.
Near the end of the battle, Phelps was given orders to clear out any houses or caves that might be housing Japanese soldiers. Phelps and his unit came upon a large cave that he suspected to be holding soldiers, and he requisitioned a flamethrower from another squad in order to clear it out, wanting to "do it by the numbers". Flamethrower Corporal Ira Hogeboom was assigned to incinerate the cave. Upon investigation, Phelps and his squad realized the cave was a makeshift medical hospital for wounded Japanese civilians. Phelps, he and his squad in a panic, ordered the execution of the civilians to "put them out of their misery." Pushed to the breaking point by Cole's orders, medic Private Courtney Sheldon shot Cole in the back. Kelso ordered for Phelps to be taken to an Army field hospital and then told the men to never speak about the event.
The game begins with Phelps on the Patrol Desk at the Wilshire Division 7 Police Station as a new member of the Los Angeles Police Department in Los Angeles, California, in 1947, investigating a murder with his new partner, Officer Ralph Dunn. After catching the killer, Phelps discovers a pay-out notebook, which contains the name of the Homicide detective in charge of the case, Floyd Rose, whom the two dislike. Phelps decides not to reveal this, even though he thinks that the detective might be corrupt, and continues to work as a patrolman. After successfully interrogating a murder suspect and bringing him to justice, Captain Donnelly of the Homicide Desk gives Cole a promotion to the Traffic Desk.
Now a detective, Phelps receives his new partner, Detective Stefan Bekowsky. The two solve a case involving a man who faked his own death, catch a double-homicide suspect involved in a hit-and-run, and finally bring to justice a film producer responsible for statutory **** and attempted murder. Phelps is then promoted to the Burglary Desk. Phelps also meets the corrupt Vice Desk Detective Roy Earle on the desk, who introduces Cole to an emotionally damaged German lounge singer, Elsa Lichtmann, at a Hollywood jazz club.
After six months at Burglary, Phelps is once again promoted, this time to Homicide, where he and his new veteran and old school partner, Detective Finbarr "Rusty" Galloway, solve a series of very similar and gruesome murders committed by a serial killer: the same man who killed Elizabeth Short in The Black Dahlia murder that same year. At first, Galloway believes all the murders to have been committed by the victim's husband or boyfriend, suspecting that each is only a copy-cat of the previous, with no connection at all. Finally, however, they realize, after arresting five innocent men, that the murders were committed by the same man. The two track him to an abandoned church catacombs, following a trail of notes and clues left by the killer. They discover the killer is one of the bartenders Cole spoke with while investigating one of the first murders, who strung the two along. Once he is killed, Captain Donnelly dismisses the case and releases the innocent quietly, explaining that the killer is a relative of one of the most powerful politicians in the country, and releasing the information could cause a massive scandal.
Phelps is then promoted to the Vice Desk. He and his new partner, corrupt Chief Detective Roy Earle, succeed in halting Los Angeles's government-issued morphine and marijuana drug trade, and bringing down several drug dealers, including associates of real-life mobster Mickey Cohen. However, Phelps's past comes back to haunt him when a U.S. Marine from his former unit is found brutally murdered. Phelps discovers many of his former squad members are being assassinated as well, and after meeting with his old comrade, Jack Kelso, Phelps deduces that the men in his unit were selling morphine on the street after stealing a large supply from the U.S.S. Coolridge, the ship that carried the unit back to Los Angeles at the end of World War II. The men are being killed by the mob, who currently controls the drug trade and refuse to have competition. At the same time, Phelps begins an extramarital affair with Elsa. Because of the corrupt actions taken by the LAPD, Roy agrees to disclose Phelps' affair to get the public eye away from the corrupt members of city hall and the LAPD, including the mayor, police chief, and himself. Because of this, prior to the revealing of the drug trade by the members of his former unit, Phelps is removed from the case, suspended, and later demoted to Arson.
On the Arson Desk, Phelps partners with cynical World War I veteran Herschel Biggs, an expert on fires. Trying to reattain his former glory, Phelps investigates a series of house fires which he believes to be caused by an arsonist working for a company called Elysian Fields Development. Elysian Fields is running a program known as "The Suburban Redevelopment Fund," which hopes to build houses for homecoming American servicemen while obtaining more land. However, many of the houses made by the Suburban Redevelopment Fund keep burning down, and Phelps believes that Elysian Fields is behind the fires as part of an insurance scam.
Initially, Phelps makes progress with Herschel on the case, but he is warned off by Roy Earle, who is on the Elysian payroll. Realizing there is no way to investigate further by himself, Phelps manages to get Jack Kelso to work with him and Herschel, Kelso having become an insurance investigator for California Fire and Life. Through their work, they manage to not only topple Elysian Fields, but also the morphine case from Vice (the money made from selling the morphine was being invested in the Suburban Redevelopment Fund.) They also discover that the Suburban Redevelopment Fund is much more than an insurance scam. It is a scam in which poorly-built houses are overly insured by California Fire and Life, then cleared to make way for a new highway, resulting in complete recompense for the owners and a turnover of millions of dollars for the members of the fund. Eventually, Kelso finds out that the identity of the mysterious arsonist is Ira Hogeboom, the flamethrower in Phelps's squad. After the war, Hogeboom suffered from extreme guilt and mental anguish due to his actions in the war. Elysian used him as an arsonist, but he eventually got out of control, burning down houses that he was not told to burn and sometimes with the families still in the house. Hogeboom believed that by burning houses, he was helping people be together, and uniting them with God faster.
While hunting down the arsonist, Kelso finds out that Hogeboom has taken Elsa to the Los Angeles River Tunnels where he is trying to hide. Phelps and Kelso race to the River Tunnels and fight their way through corrupt policemen and thugs trying to stop all of them from uncovering the Suburban Redevelopment Fund scam. Due to a heavy rain, the waters in the sewer continue to rise to a dangerously high level. Eventually, they find Hogeboom and Elsa hiding from the thugs in the tunnels. Phelps, Kelso, and Elsa flee from the tunnels after Kelso puts Hogeboom out of his misery. Eventually, the trio finds an open manhole that Hershel uses to lift Elsa up from the surface. As the water begins to rise, Phelps voluntarily lifts Kelso to the surface as well; as there is no one else to help Phelps, he says a final goodbye to his comrades as a current sweeps him away, killing him.
A few days later, Phelps' funeral and memorial service takes place and all of Phelps' partners attend along with Kelso, Elsa, and his ex-wife and children. As Roy Earle delivers the eulogy, it is shown that many of the corrupt police officers and politicians are in attendance. Elsa stands up and berates Earle for belittling Cole's memory before storming out. Herschel tells Kelso that Kelso was never Cole's friend. Kelso replies that they were also never enemies. Hershel tells him that Cole knew that and then leaves to go after Elsa.
An end credits sequence shows the members of the Sixth Platoon on the way home from Japan on the USS Coolridge, during which Courtney Sheldon encourages his fellow Marines to participate in the morphine theft. While reading the paper, the soldiers learn of Cole's success as a police officer, and become jealous that they are not thought of as heroes. Kelso tells the other Marines that no matter how anyone else views them, he will always remember them as heroes, but if they steal the morphine and go down a path of crime, they will become nothing in his eyes. Unfortunately, the theft goes as planned, laying the foundation for much of the following story.
