This weekend, many Canadians will sit down at the dinner table and feast on turkey. Everyone will share what they are most thankful for; from the great weather to having such loving family and friends. I am no different, but my thanks goes beyond the dinner table.

Let me start off by admitting something: I have never played any of the Battlefield games. None. So this is my first look into the Battlefield universe.

I have, however, played Call of Duty since World at War. I’m use to the Counter-Strike feel in first-person shooters, if that makes any sense. I’m use to picking a custom load-out to go shoot bad guys that are unlucky to be in my way. No special classes like a medic or engineer but it was actually really easy to get the hang of them in BF3.

The  Battlefield 3 Beta (which came out on Thursday, September 29) tries to capture Call of Duty players by introducing a small map with no vehicles.

Alas, I digress; I played the game for what it is.

Joker is one of the most iconic bad guys in superhero history. To have a Batman movie or video game, Joker must be involved; Batman Arkham City is no exception. A new trailer shows us another glimpse at Batman’s smiling headache but I’ll show it off at the end of this post.

First, let’s have a bit of fun and take a look at the Joker in other video games.
