Rocksteady Studios is an amazing game development house, that can’t be denied by anyone. With only three games to their name (and a fourth on the way!) I have yet to play a game produced by them that I didn’t enjoy. Even their first effort, Urban Chaos: Riot Response, was a pretty great debut effort,…
In leading up to the inevitable downpour of awesome merchandise that will be unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con this month, DC Collectibles released some of the action figures and collectibles you’ll be able to get your hands on in the future, including products inspired by next year’s Batman: Arkham Knight. Figures in the first line…
E3 has come and gone for some time now, but the Game Critics Best of E3 list for 2014 has just made its way online.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long for something like this to surface. Amazon Germany has posted a listing for a complete edition of last year’s Batman: Arkham Origins for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC to be released on August 21st. Though the listing doesn’t provide any details, one can safely assume it…
Yesterday marked one of the most important dates for super heroes in cinematic history: It was the 25th anniversary of the cinematic debut of Tim Burton’s Batman. That film was one of the progenitor super hero films, along with Richard Donner’s Superman, and it showed the world that The Dark Knight could be more than just a…
Long time voice actor Kevin Conroy dropped a bomb shell recently when he implied that the anticipated and recently delayed into 2015 Batman: Arkham Knight would arrive in January. According to recent listing on the Microsoft store, Conroy missed the mark…but not by that much though. Microsoft has listed the release date for Batman: Arkham…

Taking something that you think wouldn’t fit into the racing genre and making it work is not something uncommon in the video game world: Last month saw the launch of the 8th iteration of the Mario Kart franchise on the Wii U and has helped greatly in bolstering the sales of the struggling console; Diddy…
