They're really pushing the Slade/Batman conflict pretty hard with the marketing of "Arkham Origins," this October's prequel to Warner Brother's pair of "Arkham" games. Even if the initial announcement out of the publisher was that Black Mask would be the main heavy, one-eyed super assassin Deathstroke has been the one featured most prominently up to this point.
Which is weird, because he's better known for spending his time trying to murder the Teen Titans.

It's coming this fall to the PC, Wii U, and 3DS, and it's going to let you draw in just about any DC Comics character you can think of.
Probably even this guy.

"The Novelist," a new indie stealth-adventure game by Ion Storm and 2K Marin veteran Kent Hudson, has one of the saddest, most melancholy premises I've encountered: you play as a benevolent poltergeist haunting novelist Dan Kaplan and his family.
Supernatural nightmare notwithstanding, the Kaplans' ectoplasmic best friend can read people's thoughts, eavesdrop on their conversations, and thumb through their journals -- all the better to keep the family from coming apart at the seams. Dan's career is stalling apparently, but it's nothing a ghostly presence can't fix. "The Novelist" is kind of like the last episode of American Horror Story: Murder House, but with more humanity and grace and less campy gore and trashy gossip-mongering.

Wherever you fall in the gender spectrum, you probably know what proceeds "GTFO" when you're playing online. There's a weird trigger for some male gamers out there, a bizarre response to finding out that the player on the other end of an infinite number of connections happens to be female: they want--nay, demand--to see skin. Maybe, to these gamers' minds, there's no serious reason that a female gamer is online, so why not troll and harass them until they either A., show some skin, or B. GTFO.
New York-based filmmaker Shannon Sun-Higginson takes a look at this phenomena in her recently fully-backed documentary, "GTFO," which has exceeded its $20,000 goal by a cool $13k.
