When it rains, it pours. Apparently Square Enix have realized there's a new Kingdom Hearts Remix coming out in the next few months, and that they ought to start advertising it.

Batman Arkham Origins was met with slightly more mixed reviews than its predecessor, Arkham City, but it was still a very capable entry in the Bat's franchise. For those that missed out, it might be worth holding on just a little longer, as Amazon's German branch may have just leaked the existence of a Game of the Year edition.

Games for Windows Live wasn't something most people liked, and those same individuals were only too happy to see it go the way of the dodo. PC Gamers have been talking about the service shutting down for quite some time, since a patch to Batman Arkham City effectively ditched its DRM. Microsoft have been pretty definite in what they've been saying as well... until now.

Fancy picking up a Wii U but aren't sure enough to walk into a brick and mortar store and shell out over $350 on one?
