Last Year's Portable Batman Hits Consoles and PC in April
Two Batman games came out last year. The big console version, Batman: Arkham Origins, came from a new development studio. That game's overshadowed, on-the-go semi-sequel Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate came from Armature, a collective of creators who helped make the great Metroid Prime games.

Well, well. That LEGO The Hobbit rumor this weekend is true after all. Warner Bros. just announced the game but not a specific launch date for it next year. And it will release for Xbox One and PS4 as well as Wii U, 360, PS3, PC, 3DS and PS Vita. The game is based on the first two films of The Hobbit trilogy.

Marauding Maniac Meets Mournful Madwoman In Injustice Annual #1
Who would win in a fight, Wolverine-clone Lobo, or the Joker's unhinged girl Friday? The answer might be a lot more clear if this showdown weren't happening in the Injustice universe.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: The Kotaku Review
What took so long? I'm not talking about a LEGO Marvel game. LEGO getting the Marvel license is a relatively new development, all things considered. They announced it in 2011, video game in 2013 — that's fairly quick turnaround for a game as massive in scope as LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
What A Strange Place For A Batman: Arkham Origins Crossover
With the recent release of the third game in the award-winning Batman: Arkham series upon us, there are plenty of places I'd expect the Dark Knight and friends to be showing up this week. As collectible characters in mobile sensation Puzzle & Dragons was not one of them.
Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate: The Kotaku Review
The worst thing Batman: Arkham Origins: Blackgate has going for it is its mouthful of a title.
This Fake Trailer Would Make Aquaman a Superstar. Maybe.
Sure, you all laugh at Aquaman now. But when his non-extant movie crosses over with a beloved Pixar franchse, Arthur Curry will show you. He’ll show you all.
Batman's Next Portable Game Has Some Castlevania, Metroid and Mega Man
The Dark Knight's return to handheld gaming will feature multiple endings in an homage to classic old-school games of bygone eras.
The first trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate for the 3DS and Vita is rather snazzy, showing off comic book-style cutscenes and some interesting 2.5D interpretation of the console game's moves. What's with the big guy at the end, though? Wasn't Batman's first encounter with him during Arkham City, some six…
Mad Max’s First Gameplay Trailer Looks Hopeless, in a Good Way
The thing about the Mad Max movies is that it looks like somebody already tried to save the world and failed at it. And what we see are the terrible remains. The newest trailer for Avalanche Studios’ Mad Max puts its headbutting, car-combat action smack dab in the middle of that world. Thank goodness. Granted, it's…

Today Is A G'Day: Mad Max Will Have Aussie Protagonist After All

The New Mad Max Game Will Be Vast, Violent and Not Sound Australian
I detected nary an Australian accent from the characters in the new Mad Max game that made its surprise debut at E3 earlier this week. There will be no Australian voices, one of the game's creators told me. OK. At least Max's steering wheel's on the right. What else have they got here?
