Gauge - Batman: Arkham Asylum, Taking Woodstock, Bayonetta, BioShock movie, and Laser Tag

Monday, August 31st, 2009 – running time 52:14

We go insane over Arkham Asylum! Is Taking Woodstock worthy of Oscar-winning director Ang Lee's talents? Spielberg doing a pirate movie? Bioshock's new helmer? Plus, we play Laser Tag!

Movies

Ang Lee's career has been as varied as it has been critically acclaimed, with titles like Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Brokeback Mountain. Alex, Dan, and Jeff take a look at his latest, Taking Woodstock, a family drama played against the backdrop of one of history's most important cultural events.

The guys also respond to some interesting film news of the week, including Steven Spielberg taking on another pirate movie, and the director of 28 Weeks later stepping into the BioShock movie.

Raised on Rad: Laser Tag

Alex, Dan, and Jeff loved playing Laser Tag growing up, but is the toy still around? Has it changed? It is time to find out as the guys head to the park for some Laser Tag action!

Video Games

Batman has had a long, and not particularly stellar history as a lead character in video games. But Eidos and Warner Bros aim to change that with the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Alex, Dan, and Jeff play both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game and come away very impressed with what they see.

Upcoming action title, Bayonetta will feature a "Very Easy Play" mode, the demonstration of which has stimulated a heated online debate. The guys weigh in with their thoughts on a game mode that virtually plays itself!
