The super sequel to LEGO Batman: The Video Game is suiting up for its big release next month, and and so, it's time to get better acquainted with some of its stars. These parody portraits of The Joker, Catwoman, and Robin should look familiar, particularly to Arkham City fans (or anybody to visit a games blog in the past year, really).
With them comes a bit of new character info, including abilities; Catwoman will Double Jump and The Joker will be immune to poison. Robin will have the Magnet Suit, meant for use on certain walls, the Ice Suit, which makes him immune to the effects of ice, and the Acrobat Suit, which -- in tandem with the Zorb Ball -- allows him to solve puzzles.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes comes out on PC, Wii, 3DS, DS, PS3, Xbox 360, Vita and a partridge in a pear tree on June 19. 2012.
Good evening, gentle Dtoiders, here's today's Tuesday-newsday Destructoid Show.
Batman Arkham Origins has been announced in the places where all games are announced, the cover of Game Informer magazine. EA has been voted the... You monster. Outside of the casual and educational spheres, violence abounds in games. Even Mario is violent, albeit not gratuitous. Combative, at least. Much of the game is purely avoiding obstacles, but eventually some form... The week's Xbox Live Arcade sale continues on, with 50% off Dishonored, Borderlands 2, and many more games. You may be able to find these titles cheaper at retail, but if you must play these games now -- and you really shou...
In another casual conversation from Destructoid's news room, Jordan Devore, Daniel Starkey and and I discuss the possible futures of Batman and Fallout. Plus, we marvel at how spectacularly wrong Aliens: Colonial Marines went. [Update: According to the rumor mill, Rocksteady won't be involved in this one. According to my Twitter feed of random people saying random things, the less-spectacular Spark Unlimited may take the helm. Hmmmm.]
Warner Bros. ... Here's today's Destructoid Show, in all it's fabulous, timely glory.
For starters, there was that thing about how they added a gay planet in Star Wars: The Old Republic, which of course went over like a fart in Church. ... [Update: It seems Nintendo has given the deleted post in question further review and decided that it was okay.
"We have checked the reported content and determined that it is not in violation of the Miiverse Code of Con... For most of this generation, Nintendo existed as its own entity in the market. The Wii couldn't match the technical prowess of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while third-party publishers famously struggled when attempting to... I hate DRM with a passion, but I feel I owe its creators a fruit basket. After all, it gives me more free target practice than the rest of this industry's bullshit. Take what's been happening with Arkham Asylum -- new purchas... One of the best parts of Rocksteady's Arkham series is how expertly the games exploited Batman's greatest asset -- the greatest rogue's gallery in all of comic books. Many of Batman's opponents are as enthralling, if not more...
