Fallout 4 - First Official Trailer



Bethesda has finally released the first post-apocalyptic trailer for Fallout 4!.... "War never changes."



I really appreciate that Bethesda chose to use in-game graphics rather than trying to wow us with pre-rendered cutscenes. It gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the game, such as the familiar aesthetics we've come to expect from the series, and the huge open world. Kudos on getting Ron Perlman to come back as well.

Bethesda promises to show more at their E3 Showcase on Sunday, June 14th at 7pm PT.

No release date has been announced, but Fallout 4 will arrive for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "All Who Follow You" Trailer



Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman join the fight in the latest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



The new trailer is showing off the new "Dual Play" mechanic, which Warner Bros. says allows players to "switch seamlessly between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat." Sounds like developer Rocksteady Studios is working very hard to make this an amazing last entry in the Arkham series.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 23rd for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Mortal Kombat X - Official Launch Trailer



Check out the bone-crunching launch trailer for Mortal Kombat X, featuring music from System of a Down.



The trailer was directed by Shavo Odadjian, a member of the band System of a Down. He did a great job putting the imagery from the game together with his band's hit song, "Chop Suey!" The trailer definitely got me pumped for the game.

Here's a synopsis:

"Mortal Kombat X is NetherRealm Studios' next highly-anticipated installment in its legendary, critically acclaimed fighting game franchise that propels the iconic franchise into a new generation. The game combines cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever, offering a new fully-connected experience that launches players into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy. For the first time, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting strategy and fighting style. Players step into an original story showcasing some of the game's most prolific characters including Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while introducing new challengers that represent the forces of good and evil and tie the tale together."

Mortal Kombat X will arrive on April 14th for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - "Gotham is Mine" Trailer



Batman must protect Gotham from Scarecrow in the newest trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



Each trailer looks better than the last one. It appears Poison Ivy is returning along with The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and The Penguin. Could not help but notice the heavily armed thugs as well. Each Arkham game has raised the stakes and this one looks to do the same. However, Rocksteady Studios appears to be pushing the envelope even further than before, seeing as this is the first Batman game to be rated M for its mature content. Nonetheless, considering how good Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were, this is a game that should be on almost everyone's radar.

Here is a short synopsis:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Mortal Kombat X - Kitana and Kung Lao Gameplay Trailer



Kitana and Kung Lao return in the newest gameplay trailer for Mortal Kombat X!



It is nice to see Goro brought back into the mix, though it is too bad he is pre-order DLC. Nonetheless, there seems to be a nice mix of old favorites and new fighters for the newest iteration of the gory fighter.

Mortal Kombat X is set to release on April 14 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4.

This is just the first part of 3 trailers, with the remaining 2 set to debut next week. The second will arrive on December 1, and the last will be shown on December 6 during Sony's keynote at PlayStation Experience.

Batman: Arkham Knight - E3 Gameplay Trailer



In case you missed it, Warner Bros. and developer Rocksteady Studios debuted an impressive new gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight at Sony's E3 press conference. Check it out now!


It makes sense that this game is only for current-gen consoles since the game features highly detailed but expansive environments. The Batmobile is not just for show, as it serves an important function for traversing the streets of Gotham and dispatching enemies. The ability to launch Batman out of the cockpit is also a really nice looking and practical feature.

What little has been shown looks great so far. Rocksteady has a proven track record with the Batman franchise as they always aim to make each game bigger in scope, while adding gameplay elements that are both fun and help overcome the new challenges that arise from creating a larger game.

Batman: Arkham Knight is set to release next year for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT Delayed Until 2015, Batmobile Battle Mode Revealed



As previously thought, Batman: Arkham Knight is being pushed back until next year. According to Rocksteady's Dax Ginn, the reasoning behind the delay is because "Awesome takes time." To assuage fans, Rocksteady has released this reveal trailer teasing the Batmobile Battle Mode.



The Batmobile looks great, and Rocksteady has the track record to keep their promise of making a truly awesome game. More will be shown at E3 so keep this one on your radar.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released next year on the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight - Gameplay Trailer



Check out gameplay footage from Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Knight!



There sure is a lot of detail for such a dark game. Furthermore, while it does appear in just a few snippets, there is definitely some Batmobile gameplay shown off, including driving on the walls and ceiling. Ultimately, the trailer only gives us a taste of what to expect, and just that little bit looks great.

Interestingly, the trailer only mentions that the game is coming soon, though previous trailers suggested a worldwide 2014 release. Hopefully, the release date will be clarified soon. Expect to hear more about the game at E3 next month.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released on the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

Microsoft Announces HALO TV series and Xbox Originals



Microsoft has finally announced their first slate of original TV programs, dubbed "Xbox Originals." Like Netflix, they are putting a lot of money and effort into their programming, such as with the previously announced Halo TV series, with Steven Spielberg as executive producer. Meanwhile, Ridley Scott is producing a separate Halo project, a "digital feature," which is to be released later this year.

Other video game properties are being looked at for possible development as well, including Fable, Age of Empires, Forza Motorsport, State of Decay, and Gears of War.

Could we see a Gears of War program in development soon?

Microsoft is not only looking at video games for ideas, such as with Every Street United, an unscripted series that is focused on searching the globe for gifted soccer players. The program is slated for eight thirty-minute episodes, with a one-hour finale in July, around the same time as the World Cup.

The plan is to build more value for the Xbox brand with premium, interactive content that includes dramas, comedies, documentaries, animation, unscripted shows, and live events. For more information and a more complete list of programs in development, check out Xbox Wire.

Xbox Originals launches this June and will be exclusive to Xbox 360, Xbox One, and other Microsoft devices.

Batman: Arkham Knight - New Villain Announced, plus New Pics & Info, and an Interview with Rocksteady

Rocksteady announced an original character, the Arkham Knight.

More info has emerged for the upcoming Batman game, and Rocksteady will be introducing a new adversary called the Arkham Knight, created specifically for this game. Not much is known so let the speculation begin on whether it is a brand new character, or a previously known character in disguise.

For more info on the game, check out this great interview with Dax Ginn from Rocksteady.



The new game sounds huge. I really hope navigating Gotham with the Batmobile feels as satisfying as it looks in other media. I'm really liking the look of the new character as well. He looks like he might be a good match for the Batman universe.

And now for some awesome new pics!

"I'm sorry Batman, but your princess is on another rooftop." 

The Arkham Knight stands over the Dark Knight.

Rocksteady promises the biggest Arkham game yet.

The Batmobile looks very similar to the Tumbler from the Nolan films.

Did I remember to turn the stove off?

The Arkham Knight in action!

What little has been shown definitely has me excited. I like the Tumbler-like design for the Batmobile, which will be the primary method of transportation around Gotham City. I'm sure that also means plenty of side missions to keep us busy while we tackle the main story. Can't wait to see more.

Batman: Arkham Knight is scheduled to release later this year for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Batman: Arkham Knight Announcement Trailer



Hi everyone!

Here is the first trailer for the newest game in the Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Knight.



Unlike Arkham Origins, this iteration is being developed by Rocksteady, the studio responsible for the first two games in the series. The main antagonist appears to be Scarecrow this time around, with appearances from many other familiar villains expected, such as Two-Face and the Penguin. Rocksteady also promises an open-world Gotham larger than Arkham City, along with a drivable Batmobile! I can't wait for more info.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be available later this year for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Preorder the game to get an add-on pack featuring 4 exclusive challenge maps, and a playable Harley Quinn.
