Check out this awesome Arkham City-inspired Lego Batman 2 concept art

Posted on May 17, 2012 by John Scalzo

We don’t know if these Batman: Arkham City-inspired character models will make it into Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, but they definitely should. The striking white-on-white art style of Arkham City really works when applied to Lego minifigs.

You can view the three pieces of concept art (featuring Robin, The Joker, and Catwoman) in a gallery after the break.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes will be in stores on June 19 for the 3DS, DS, PC, PS3, Vita, Wii, and Xbox 360. (more…)

Darksiders II continues the apocalypse on August 14

Posted on May 16, 2012 by John Scalzo

THQ has used their quarterly financial report to give Darksiders II an August 14 release ate. Originally set for a June 26 release, the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 game was pushed back two months to allow for more polishing.

“We look forward to launching Darksiders [II] beginning on August 14 in North America,” CEO Brian Farrell told investors. Let’s hope he’s equally looking forward to the release of the Wii U version, which will be a launch title for Nintendo’s next system.

Screw you guys… the South Park RPG is coming home in early 2013

Posted on May 15, 2012 by John Scalzo

THQ has announced that the Obsidian-developed South Park RPG (which may, or may not, be titled South Park: The Stick of Truth) has been delayed.

The PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 game, which was previously scheduled for a Fall launch, will now be released in early 2013. No reason was given for the delay, but it likely has something to do with THQ’s continuing money woes.

THQ plans to release the South Park RPG in a very crowded quarter for the company. Metro: Last Light and Company of Heroes 2 are both already scheduled for an early 2013 launch.

Diablo III launches with a growing list of errors

Posted on May 15, 2012 by John Scalzo

Perhaps Blizzard overreached with Diablo III. In development for over four years (and possibly as far back as 2001), the game is more ambitious than anything the series has seen before.

Naturally, that has lead to a variety of error messages plaguing players on the game’s launch day.

Blizzard currently lists five errors in the game’s official forum, with Error 3006 being the most serious. Joystiq describes it as a game-breaking bug that occurs if a player swaps an equipped item with a Templar. After the error occurs, players are unable to log back in to Battle.net, even if they restart the game.

Blizzard is looking into to these errors and will hopefully have a fix ready soon.

Crystal Dynamics buries Tomb Raider until early 2013

Posted on May 14, 2012 by John Scalzo

Darrell Gallagher, the Studio Head at Crystal Dynamics, has revealed that the developer’s long-awaited reboot of Tomb Raider won’t make it out this Fall as previously planned. Instead, the game’s release has been pushed back to early 2013 for “polish” and to implement some “finishing touches”:

We’re doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice and I guarantee it will be worth the wait.

You know, the game looked pretty darn polished when Crystal Dynamics showed it off at last year’s E3 Expo. But speaking of E3, the developer once again plans to make Tomb Raider the showpiece of the Square Enix booth. To get the gamers of the world excited, they’ve released a new screenshot dubbed “The Reach,” which supposed to offer a hint as what the E3 demo will look like. Hit the jump to see Lara Croft make “The Reach.” (more…)
