So many cool looking things, my eyes can’t take it So, the newArkham Knighttrailer has managed to climb out of the shadows and has left us unconscious face down in a pool of water. Man, there’s a lot of cool spoiler type stuff to see here. Nightwing, Red Hood, Catwoman, Commissioner Gordon, explosions, lasers and tanks. Robots, armies, Two Face, gadgets, flames, desparation and hope. The Arkham Knight and Batman, Wow, I’m kind of excited after watching this trailer....

Now, as season 1 comes to an end, it’ll head into season 2 with loads of cool new abilities and updates. Here’s what we know so far: New gadgets and abilities in The Finals season 2 If you’ve played The Finals, you’re familiar with the weight-based player classes and abilities that come with them....

Obsidian’s take on the survival genre is refreshing Before today, I thought thatGrounded, a shrunken-kids survival game from the RPG powerhouse Obsidian, had decent potential. It’s not exactly the studio’s bread and butter, but the pitch – a solo/co-op adventure in which you’ll chop down blades of grass and fend off monstrous spiders – drew me in. After trying the30-minute Steam demoand digging it enough to go through it twice (and even consider a third run-through), I’m sold on this surprisingly fresh angle....

60 bucks?! When it comes to the Ouya, all I can think about is that horrendous, embarrassing “60 BUCKS?!” commercial. Not all of the work that went into its Kickstarter, its promises, the several good exclusives in its early days — but that damn marketing folly. It was just one drop in the barrel though, even if it beats out “anime fans on prom night,” as the Ouya campaign just made missteps on top of missteps on its way to the bottom....

Truly a match made in heaven In yetanotherbehind-the-scenes video forTearaway, the fine folks at Media Molecule today explain the importance of the array of options the PlayStation Vita offers that make the game what it is today. Since it acknowledges the player in a big way, things like the system’s front-facing camera will show the player’s face within the world (creepyTeletubbiesbaby-in-the-sun style). Other things like the back touch panel will show the player’s fingertip within the world as well....

Roughly $71 Next March, X-Plus Toys will be producing a new Mega Man statue, and the project is coming along pretty great. It’ll be 13-inches tall, and is made of soft plastic. It’ll run you 8,424 Yen, which is roughly $71.00. There is no shortage ofMega Manmerchandise, and with the amiibo coming out and his latest appearance inSuper Smash Bros., the Blue Bomber is still alive and well. I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but I can see some amazing things coming from selling the IP to Nintendo....

We are a little more than four months away from the release ofNo More Heroes 3, which is more than enough time to drive intoTravis Strikes Again: No More Heroesif you haven’t yet. I can understand if you’ve avoided it thus far. I mean, I’ve seen its Metacritic score and as somebody who bought it day one, it’s a bit of a tough recommendation. If you haven’t tried it by now, you’re probably not going to at this point, but it’s clear the people at Grasshopper Manufacturer think you’re missing out by not giving it a go....

It will come with her Pulse Pistols, as well as the Pulse Bomb used for her ultimate....

‘But doing everything is close to 100’ Do we still care about game lengths? Really, truly care? (I say “we” as if we’re some sort of hive mind, which obviously and thankfully isn’t the case.) Probing forWatch Dogsinformation on Twitter, a fan asked how long it would take to clear the game’s story mode. “I would say the average player which does free roam a bit [tends] to reach the end within 35-40h,”repliedcreative director Jonathan Morin....
