Batman: The Telltale Series: "Guardian of Gotham" arrives on November 22

After sporadic teases and a month since the last episode was released, Telltale Games has revealed the full trailer and release date for the fourth episode of "Batman: The Telltale Series". Entitled "Guardian of Gotham" - the trailer shows that after the series of events that transpired in the previous three chapters, Bruce Wayne is committed to the one place he did not expect - Arkham Asylum, leaving Gotham in the hands of Oswald Cobblepot (aka The Penguin) and open to chaos. In order to get back into action as Batman, players must guide Bruce and determine his actions on how to get out of the madhouse. Unfortunately it's easier said than done... And a certain smiling villain makes his debut in the new video game interpretation of The Dark Knight and his world.

Debuting last April and since then cementing its legacy as one of the top superhero fighting games of all time, WB Games and NetherRealm Studios' "Injustice: Gods Among Us" was a living testament to how a great brawler based on DC Comics' epic roster of heroes could be made... And no less by the creators of Mortal Kombat to boot!

Street Fighter X Tekken: PS Vita version to feature 12 more characters

Street Fighter x Tekken comes out in a few weeks time for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and the Capcom devloped brawler is generating a lot of buzz from its respective fans to show that it's a highly anticipated title nobody can wait for! Still, while those looking forward to the console releases will get it early, their stomachs may churn over the latest news to come out related to the game... And it's looking good right now for those investing on Sony's newest handheld, the Playstation Vita.

Via a report from Andriasang.com, the Vita version of SFxT will be getting a big bonus to compensate for its delayed release to Fall 2012. Twelve new characters will be added to the roster, with six entries on each side, and fans who have been loyal to both franchises will be happy to know who's making the cut.

Street Fighter:
- Elena
- Guy
- Cody
- Sakura
- Dudley
- Blanka

Tekken:
- Lars
- Alisa
- Christie
- Jack 
- Bryan
- Lei

This kinda puts a damper on those getting the game early for the big machines, but it's a good bet Capcom will eventually release the Vita exclusive fighters someday, as either DLC or an "upgraded" version of SFxT in the future. Time will tell for sure. For now, take comfort in seeing the new "Features trailer" for the upcoming console version of the game.

E3 2010: Mortal Kombat Gameplay Footage!

It's been another intense weekend thanks to numerous activities, but gaming is still at the heart of things this week, and what probably caught most peoples' eyes is the recent Electronic Entertainment Expo, which showed a plethora of titles that's just too exciting to anticipate for the next year. One of them happens to be the best reimagining of a fighter that fans of bloody games have been hoping for... A new Mortal Kombat! As the 9th installment of the series, Ed Boon, one of the legendary creators of the series, and NetherRealm Studios (formerly Midway Games) are set to deliver a new game that takes the franchise back to its old school roots - full of blood, brutality, and action! In fact, Gamespot has gone up to Mr. Boon and set up an video interview that talks in depth of what Kombatants can expect from the new MK, featuring gameplay insights and actual footage from the game to boot! Check it out, and watch out for Scorpion and Kung Lao's fatalities!

E3 2010: Microsoft Keynote Press Conference

At last, this year's installment of the Electronic Entertainment Expo has begun, and I couldn't be more excited about it. I'm fresh off listening and watching the first chapter of the 3 day major event via game sites like Kotaku covering the event, and I think a lot of people would agree on me that if you truly adore all things gaming, you need to pay attention to this in every detail. No excuses.

Starting things off was none other than Microsoft, developer of Windows and the Xbox 360 gaming console. In their Keynote presentation, they introduced the audience to a slew of beautiful game trailers, beginning with Activision's latest entry to their highly successful COD series, Call Of Duty: Black Ops. If any of you enjoyed playing the Modern Warfare games, this one is definitely up your ally, and will feature more covert operations and missions that are strictly off the record and have plausible deniability written all over it. After the gameplay demonstration, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima went into the stage and showcased his new trailer for Metal Gear Rising - a game he's producing and which features MGS2's lead Raiden as the main character, garbed in his Cyborg Ninja suit in MGS4 and cutting his opponents up like watermelons (There's a big emphasis on "Cut" and Watermelons, so when the trailer's officially out online, go and see it). More shooter madness came about with the trailers for Gears Of War III and Halo:Reach, and they're much anticipated titles by the 360 crowd, especially Reach, whom fans literally went apeshit over after seeing the gameplay trailer with their own eyes. Couple those with the debut trailer for Fable III, and you've got one heck of a line up coming for Xboc 360. Looking forward to it.

Next up, Microsoft showcased their long awaited motion control device - the Kinect. Originally known as "Project Natal", it was given a new name just a day ago, and everyone was anticipating its appearance in E3. MS lived up to their promise and demonstrated the new peripheral and its capabilities, which included full motion sensor range and activity through a plethora of games and titles like racing and sports. Speaking about sports, MS and ESPN made a deal together to deliver exclusive programming and content to Xbox Live, further expanding the online service's content and activities for its audience. Focus was still on the Kinect however, and plenty of Wii-like games were being promoted, from sports to exercises, where the player fully interacted with the game itself. The Kinect wasn't limited to that alone though, as there was another program introduced where a little girl came up on stage and used the peripheral to play and interact with a baby tiger... yes, a "baby tiger". It was cute and fun, but I could see how this product was aimed at attracting the kids and casual audiences. However, that's not to say that there's no fun to be found here... quite the opposite. There's a new dance game by Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band, coming out called Dance Central, and it's absolutely fascinating to think of the songs you could move to with this game. Not only that, Your Shape takes physical fitness exercises to a whole new level, and Lucas Arts has just started developing a new Star Wars game with the Kinect in mind, showing a Clone Wars like gameplay trailer that's just full of possibilities to explore. With Voice and Motion Control also possible through it, I don't think the Kinect is a bad thing at all, and it may just make the 360 experience even more interesting when it gets released on November 4 with 15 launch titles.

Finally, after all the trailers and demonstrations, we came to the final and key moment in this press conference - the unveiling of a new Xbox 360 model. The redesign is slimmer and clad in black, and features built in wifi and a 250 gb Hard Disk Drive. Pretty neat unit, and it goes on sale immediately, priced at the same $299 price tag as its predecessors. Not a bad presentation and end to Microsoft's Keynote. Now, I'm looking forward to Nintendo and Sony. Be sure to watch out for more feedback soon. In the meantime, check out the gamesites like Kotaku and 1up for more fantastic E3 coverage!

Prepare For Hard Corps Uprising!

Most of you all know and remember the side-scrollin' shooting game Contra. Do you remember Contra: Hard Corps for the Sega Genesis though?

I was reminiscing about this game a few days ago with some friends. It was the one and only Contra installment to feature four different types of characters to choose from. Also, players could carry and select four different types of weapons they pick up as they progress through the game, and branching paths led to a number of different scenarios the player could explore, unlocking multiple endings in the process. Yeah, this game was good for it's time, and being more of a Genesis owner during the 16-bit Console War, it was a nice addition to the collection I had back then.

Contra: Hard Corps Gameplay
Now the latest word is that a sequel is coming up... A spiritual sequel to be exact!

As you can see from the pic above featured in a post by IGN, a new Contra game is coming! Announced by Konami, Hard Corps Uprising is the latest Run N' Gun shooter to be coming from the minds behind Contra, and is set to be released for the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network in fall this year! Colonel Bahamut, who was one of the main baddies of the original Hard Corps game, is now in the side of good and one of the main characters the player will control alongside a partner to combat alien forces in this game of machine guns and spreads! Only two characters have been confirmed for the game so far, but Konami may put up downloadable content that features more characters eventually! The artsyle of the game is anime inspired - primarily because Arc System Works, the guys who did the Guilty Gear and Blazblue series, are developing the game! That sounds like a lot of fun to my brain to contain, and I'm really looking forward to playing this baby already!

For more info, check out IGN's post! Hard Corps Uprising is a downloadable game due for Xbox 360 and PS3 on Winter 2010!
