Here's a preview of our first 3D game, fully developed with Minko, our flash 3D engine.
It it still a technical preview, so all you can do for the moment is walking around and look at the level design.

You can shoot and throw a flare (with E) to see better
You can't shoot at anything for the moment, but this is a technical preview. Don't worry it will come later.

The 10 games just popped on my eShop

It only took me 3 or 4 game sessions to complete the main storyline. When I completed it I was like "what ? already ? But when I started playing, I was only at 15% or so of the game ?". But when I think about it, I played something like 5 hours each time, so it really took me 15 to 20 hours to get to the end, and I still had 40% of the game completed.

I got to say though, it looks like they rushed the end a bit. I was disapointed that you can't *SPOILER* visit properly the area around the Wonder Tower. I"m a bit skeptical on the Joker dying... *SPOILER*.I'm enthusiastic on the sequel they'll make though. The "prophecy" told by Azrael is promising, I'm hoping for a "Batman : Gotham City" with the whole Gotham City available, some kind of GTA-like or say, Assassin's Creed-like Batman. You'd take the batmobile, patrol in the streets, etc... With the gameplay and the design quality they put in those two first games, that would be the best superhero game ever !

As for Arkham City, I still have to complete the Hush secondary misson, and I believe I still have one to do with Freeze too. Then, getting all of the Riddler's trophies, to free all of the hostages, but I doubt I will get them all.

The day has come ! Batman Arkham City is the first game that made my computer show its limits. Like with every other game, I maxxed everything and assumed it would run fine, but I get an average of 18fps. I lowered some stuff in the parameters and still only gets an average of 30fps with major framerate fallings on some scenes of the performance test.

My computer :
i7 2600k
nVidia 570GTX
8GB Ram

Anybody knows what will most significantly increase the fluidity without making the game too ugly ?

I've just got Mario Kart 7, and one thing is striking me : the 3D effect is close to inexistant... What is the use of putting a slider to deactivate 3D if there is no 3D at all ?
