Arleen Sorkin not voicing Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City

Posted on May 21, 2011 by John Scalzo

Bad news, Batfans.

Arleen Sorkin will not be voicing Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City. Sorkin, who was actually the inspiration for Quinn’s apperance on “Batman: The Animated Series,” has been replaced, for unspecified reasons, by prolific voice actress Tara Strong.

While there’s definitely some disappointment in losing Sorkin, Strong has quite a history with the various Bat-cartoons as well:

  • She played Barbara Gordon (AKA Batgirl) on “Batman: The Animated Series”;
  • She voiced The Huntress on “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”;
  • She stepped into the shoes of Vicky Vale on “The Batman”;
  • And she had a small part as a Shock Trooper from Apokolips in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.

To further assuage fan’s fears, the Batman: Arkham City Community Manager recently sat down with Strong to discuss her thoughts on Harley Quinn and the voiceover process.

And it sounds like the character is in good hands.

New Releases: Dirt 3, Dead or Alive Dimensions, Kung Fu Panda 2, More

Posted on May 21, 2011 by John Scalzo

An eclectic quartet of games highlights this week’s new release slate.

First up, there’s Codemasters’ rally racing simulation Dirt 3 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Then, Tecmo Koei takes 2D fighting into the third dimension with the “in your face” Dead or Alive: Dimensions on the 3DS.

More fighting fun can be had with THQ’s Kung Fu Panda 2 game adaptation. The publisher has done something interesting with the game and targeted each version towards a different peripheral. The Wii version requires the uDraw Tablet while the Xbox 360 edition requires the Kinect add-on. DS and PS3 versions are also available, though they use more traditional control schemes.

Finally this week, the Duke is back in Duke Nukem: Critical Mass on the DS. And that means we’re only three weeks from his glorious return on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Check out the full list of the rest of this week’s new releases after the break. (more…)

Modern Warfare 3, Gears of War 3 trailers to premiere during NBA playoffs

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

As video games become further enmeshed in pop culture, we’re seeing a lot more marketing campaigns tied to some of the biggest sporting events of the year. The NBA postseason is coming to its climax, and some of the biggest games this year are looking to capitalize on the excitement.

Modern Warfare 3 has had little info on it other than the teaser we posted last week and a sparse official website. The Facebook page promises that will end soon, advising us to tune in for the “World Premiere” during game four of the Western Conference Finals on May 23 on ESPN. This is fairly late in the year for a CoD game to debut, but hopefully the wait will be worth it.

Epic Games is also shooting for a NBA-attached reveal, as Gears of War 3‘s newest trailer debuts a couple days later on May 28 during Game 6 of the NBA playoffs on TNT. The new trailer “offers a riveting look at the epic-scale campaign.”

We’ll have to see if these trailers live up to the hype, but if one thing’s certain, it’s that Xbox 360 owners are going to have a packed holiday season this year.
