xl_batman_arkham_origins_logo

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released five new screenshots from the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins, which will be available Oct. 25th, 2013. The game, which is the third in the Arkham series of Batman games is being developed by WB Games Montréal and takes place several years before the first two games, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, which were developed by Rocksteady Studios.

As the title implies, the game will focus the origins of Batman’s encounters with several of his Rogues Gallery members, including The Joker, The Penguin, and the main villain of the game, The Black Mask as they try to take him down on Christmas Eve. Batman: Arkham Origins will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, the Wii U, and PC.

Injustice: Gods Among Us – Ed Boon Interview [VIDEO]

edboon

Last week in Toronto, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon was showing off his recently released title Injustice: Gods Among Us. Friend of the site and gaming biz renaissance man, Justin Amirkhani (@Keadin) had a chance to ask some questions covering his view on the resurgence of the fighting genre, characters that he would have liked to have seen in the game that didn’t make the cut, and trying to figure out if there would be a certain someone as a hidden playable character.

TMNT: Out of the Shadows – Michelangelo Trailer and Screens

tmnt_logo

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were a “cool” thing when I was younger… twice. Kind of weird how that happened, but the original black and white comics were incredible and then years later, the goofy “Cowabunga!” Archie Comic version of the Ninja Turtles and Saturday morning cartoons were pretty damn cool too.

So now many, many, …oh god so many moons later, it seems that the Ninja Turtles are on another comeback with a new cartoon series and a new game entitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Activision has released a new trailer that shows off some of Michelangelo’s in-game moves, as well as a few somewhat frightening screenshots of the nunchucking turtle in his newly realized visage.

Thunder Wolves Teaser Trailer [XBLA, PSN, PC]

THUNDERWOLVES_LOGO

Coming soon to the PSN, PC, and XBLA from Bitcomposer Games and Most Wanted Entertainment is the helicopter title, Thunder Wolves. It is labelled as a arcade shooter but other than that, there really isn’t all that much else to go on. The trailer, which can be seen below, shows–well, some helicopters flying. Provided it is actual gameplay, it sure does look nice, but we’ll have to see when more gameplay is shown.

I was given a preview copy of the game, but it needs a key to unlock and e-mails to the PR asking for the key haven’t been answered. I’d like to give you more info about the game, as helicopter games like Choplifter and Thunderblade are among my favorites, but I guess we’ll just have to wait for more information.

[UPDATE] Key received and will hopefully have a preview posted soon!

Bioshock Infinite’s Reversible Cover Art is Gorgeous

reverse-bioshock

Did you know that there was an alternate cover for the recently released Bioshock Infinite? If you did, well you’re smarter than me because I sure didn’t. The default cover, which can be seen here, took a lot of flak when it was first revealed for being way too generic, too similar to the Uncharted covers, and not featuring either the Song Bird or Elizabeth, two of the game’s main draws.

So when I saw a twitter post saying that the reversible cover was way better than the original, I just assumed that people were joking that the blank white paper that is usually on the reverse side was better than the image of Booker with a shotgun slung over his shoulder.

Silly me! The reversible art can be seen above if you haven’t checked it out before.

Garrett the Thief is back with this announcement trailer for Eidos-Montreal’s next title: Thief, which is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4 and “other next-generation consoles.” Although the trailer is purely pre-rendered and doesn’t feature any gameplay whatsoever, it’s still nice to see Garrett back in action and looking even better than ever.

Creepy Watson is Creepy

creepywatson

In the previous Adventure of Sherlock Holmes games, Dr. Watson had an uncanny knack of being one creepy bastard. He would appear closer to you whenever he was off screen and it was actually a little unnerving having him suddenly appear next to you. With the release of The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, Watson’s weird behaviour was corrected and he no longer would sneak up on you when you weren’t looking.

Due to the outcry of the ever fickle internet, and being ever the vigilant company to fans demands, Frogwares upcoming Sherlock Holmes game, Crimes & Punishments will have the option to let you have Watson behave in his old sneaky ways from the 2006 title.

Of course, if you haven’t realized, it is April Fools Day, but the Creepy Watson video included was too hilarious and we just had to post it with some explanation for it. We have even included a few screenshots of the upcoming game for good measure.

DC Universe Expands Gaming Market With Infinite Crisis

WB Games and Turbine have announced today that there is a new DC Universe title on the way entitled “Infinite Crisis“. The game will be one of those fancy MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) games, like League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth, that is all the rage with the cool kids these days. Not much has been said about the game as of yet, and the press release announcing the game gives a scant few details such as “puts players in control of twisted incarnations of their favorite characters throughout the Multiverse such as Nightmare Batman and Gaslight Catwoman” and that the Free-to-play game will be released sometime in 2013.
