NL: PC Game Reviews Roundup

Here is a couple PC games to making the PC gamer pretty happy.

Risen (PC) Game Review @ Technic3D

"A sweeping story captivates players from the start! An epic story in an authentic world hand-crafted with an eye for detail and populated by "real", plausible characters. A Mysterious Volcanic Island The heavy tremors on the island bode ill for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have risen from the ground recently, bizarre creatures are terrorising the area. Fear and terror is spreading among the population. The End of All Hope? See you in the following Review from Technic3D the better Version from Ghotic 3." 

Batman: Arkham Asylum - PC review, performance and PhysX evaluation @ Elite Bastards 

"If the gameplay isn't enough to convince you that this is a worthwhile gaming experience on its own, then mixing it together with the narrative that Arkham Asylum weaves might just change your mind. Put simply, it's sensational... We've often heard talk of "cinematic computing" from the major GPU manufacturers, but this is the first PC title that I would genuinely care to label as "cinematic" in every meaning of the word with regards to its presentation. The story and the way it develops is compelling, polished and professional (while also doing the necessary when it comes to making actual gameplay entertaining), the voice acting is above and beyond your average PC game (we'll discuss that a little more shortly though), and the visuals are stunning throughout. Assuming that you don't loathe Batman with a passion, I can't think of any way I can fault the overall presentation of Arkham Asylum as a body of work at all."
