Let's start the morning off with a bang, shall we. Here's your first official trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins. Batman is in rare form, Deathstroke is out for blood and... it's best if I let the trailer explain. --- Courtesy of Games News Network

A rumor has started that states Rocksteady's next Batman title will take him back in time to the Silver Age. Warner Bros. and Rocksteady are taking Batman back to when he first encountered the Joker and may also include the Justice League in some form. I'm an fan of both Batman games from Rocksteady but we've had two game already with the Joker being in the forefront--how about someone new for the next installment. While just a rumor I look forward to what's next for our caped crusader. 

The second game of an EPIC RPG saga makes it way to the XBOX 360. The Witcher 2 elevates itself about your conventional RPG and offers a brilliant story and other elements. Lets take a look at what the critics had to say about The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. MetaCritic:   89/100 GameInformer:   9.5/10 There are very few differences between playing this on 360 or a high-end PC. The graphical gap is noticeable but trivial, load times are short and infrequent on both, and the game plays equally well on mouse/keyboard and gamepad. Several complaints I had about the original – horrid inventory management, punishing early difficulty, targeting problems – have been patched away since launch, and those improvements are incorporated here (thus the slightly higher score). The few flaws I take issue with should in no way discourage anyone from playing this fantastic, unique RPG. So long as they’re over 18, anyway, because this is the most deserving M rating I’ve ever personal...

The news about there being a Harley Quinn DLC headed to Batman Arkham City wasn't too far off. In a trailer released today for the Game of the Year Edition, Harlye Quinn's Revenge DLC was confirmed. Along with this added piece of DLC you also get the Catwoman, Nightwing, and Robin DLC packs; the Arkham City Skin and Challenge Map Pack and a Batman Year One Movie Download (only redeemable on XBL or PSN). This can all be yours when the Batman Arkham City: GOTY Edition drops on May 29. You can expect the Harley Quinn's Revenge standalone DLC to be release around that time as well.

A list of trophies have appeared on PS3trophies.org  revealing that we'll be headed back to Arkham City sometime soon. Going by the trophies it seems we'll be playing as both Harley Quinn and Robin. This is a mini-campaign mission and will most likely be called Harley Quinn's Revenge--if you go by one of the trophies. Stay tuned for the official announcement and release date.

Lollipop Chainsaw is another departure from a standard game but if you've played any of Suda 51's games you can appreciate the unique takes on gameplay. Today we take a look at the voice cast behind Lollipop Chainsaw. Tara Strong, who has had several notable roles including Rikku (FFX), lends here talents to the game as Juliet herself. Michael Rosenbaum, Lex from Smallville, plays Juliets bodyless boyfriend Nick. Along with other talented individuals Lollipop Chainsaw will be revving to go come June. [via IGN ]

Gamers waiting to get their hands on Lollipop Chainsaw and it zombie beat-em up heroine Juliet will be glad to know that the game is scheduled for release on June 12th in the US and June 15th in Europe. [via IGN ]
