Comic Book Reviews for September 16, 2015
DC COMICS
Written by Peter J. Tomasi | Drawn by Allison Borges
"DC's ongoing Arkham Knight prequel comic has a lot going for it, but the series often feels aimless in its attempts to set the groundwork for the events of the game. This spinoff comic doesn't have that problem. This series has one goal - fleshing out the tragic history between Bruce Wayne and and the Arkham Knight - and it does it well." -Jesse
Persona 5 Has Been Delayed
Persona 5 has been delayed until “Summer 2016."
That’s the news coming out of this year’s Tokyo Game Show, where a trailer - which we've embedded below - revealed the new date.
Curiously, Persona 5 was missing from this year’s E3. Before that, the publisher’s official website indicated a 2015 release window.
We’ve reached out to Persona 5 publisher Atlus for comment and will update the story should we hear back.
In the meantime, feel free to console yourself with the latest Persona 5 gameplay trailer.

Team17 and Self Made Miracle have announced that Penarium will be coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on September 22.
Penarium is a fast paced 2D arena arcade game where you guide protagonist Willy through a wicked circus show designed to kill its participants. It comes from Dutch developer Self Made Miracle in a partnership with indie developer and label Team17, most known for its Worms franchise.
It features 30 single player challenges, a single player arcade mode, as well as local co-op versus and co-operative multiplayer modes.
Penarium will cost £7 / $10 / €9, and there will also be a free trial version available for download. IGN played a bit of an early version last year, which you can check out right here.
Why We Already Love Metal Gear Online
Metal Gear Online is the only competitive multiplayer game I can think of that actively rewards players for not killing each other.
I played my first round of the Bounty Hunter mode like I would any other team death match mode. I focused more on depleting enemy respawn tickets as quickly as possible, running around and firing a machine-gun like a madman. This did not work, because Metal Gear Online is smarter, better, and deeper than that, and I'm already in love with what I've played.
Each kill I earned increased my bounty, making me a more meaningful target for my opponents. Likewise, my teammates in their Gear Walkers racking up the kill count became a huge priority for the enemy team, who focused on using Fulton devices to extract our KO’d bodies out of the battlefield.
The Evolution of PES
As Konami celebrates 20 years of its enduring football series, we look back at the key games and moments during its two decades in the spotlight.
Here’s where the PES story really began. ISS wasn’t Konami’s first attempt at a football game, nor was it the first to be viewed from an isometric perspective: EA Sports had got there on the latter count with the original FIFA in 1993, while this shared as much in common with its 8-bit side-scrolling predecessor, Konami Hyper Soccer. It lacked some of the presentational pizzazz of FIFA, not to mention the official licences (these would become familiar points of distinction as the two series became fierce rivals), but while Konami made up names for all the players, they more closely resembled their real world counterparts. This showed a commitment to authenticity for which Konami’s games would soon become renowned.
