New Batman Title to be Announced Soon?
Last year's Arkham Origins was always going to be a filler game. As good as it was, it had the unpleasant task of being stuck between Arkham City and whatever Rocksteady are building for next-gen consoles. How could it compete with one of the best rated games of this generation and the sheer hardware of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One? Soon we'll get to see exactly what we're holding out for - it seems Rocksteady are gearing up for a big announcement.
Konami Comments on Ground Zeroes Length
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes was always something of an oddity. A prologue to a game that might not be out for a couple of years, at almost the cost of a full game?

Sometimes called 'Japan's Beethoven,' Mamoru Samuragoch claimed to have written some of the most iconic music in gaming history - while completely deaf.

Ninjabee is Bringing World of Keflings to Wii U

In A World of Keflings, you play as a giant who controls a village of little people, tasking them to collect specific resources - wool, wood, stone, precious gems - and use these resources to build houses, workshops, towers, etc. The game has an easy progression system built into it: you chop lumber which you bring to a sawmill; when the sawmill produces a board, you use the board in the workshop to build a piece of a building you need, and so on. It may sound confusing, but within twenty minutes of playing, you'll get it.
