Warner Brothers Animation has a new Batman animated film coming out late this month, and it's one that you should make a point to see. I received the Blu-ray version of the film, which has the coolest box art I've seen in a long time, and was thoroughly impressed with the film and the presentation quality.

One of my favorites of 2007 was Crackdown from Ruffian and Microsoft. In this futuristic sandbox game, gamers got to play as one of the elite members of The Agency.
