Skrullwatch Review: Mighty Avengers #12

Secret Invasion is hitting full stride now, with multiple tie-ins releasing each week. This week saw the release of Mighty Avengers #12, as well as Ms. Marvel #26. I’ll be reviewing both of them (as well as a few other un-Skrully titles that hit this week), but Mighty Avengers is up first with a story that is comprised entirely of a very welcome flashback and the return of a much missed Marvel character.

Burnout Paradise Adds Bikes and Night

Today Criterion Games announced the upcoming addition of motorcycles and nighttime driving to Burnout Paradise. The additions will be part of a new “Davis” expansion, following the “Bogart” and “Cagney” ones but before “Eastwood.” Here’s what Criterion had to say:

“This is the biggest news in Burnout history!

For the first time, we’ll let you loose in a Burnout game on motorbikes!

And because we’re dedicated to bringing you game-changing new Burnout Paradise content all year, bikes will feature their own game modes, challenges and even some new locations tailored to fit their unique performance and handing characteristics.

The other big news relating to bikes is that we’ve introduced night-time to Burnout Paradise for the first time.

We wanted to clear the traffic out a little to give you the chance to learn how to ride in safety, and we’ve always wanted to cruise the streets of Paradise City with incredible night-time visuals.

We expect to ship bikes as part of our Davis software update, due for release sometime in August.”
