Recently published in the Georgia Straight were reviews of some of the big-ticket games being released this fall.

Here’s Uncharted 3:

One word describes the Uncharted games better than anything: peril. While becoming Nathan Drake, the Indiana Jones–like explorer, you’ll find yourself in constant danger. And just when you think you’ve escaped, you’ll find the floor—sometimes literally—falls out from under you.

And Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, from Capcom Vancouver:

Finally, Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, and Dark Souls:
