Eidos Teases Three Major E3 Titles

Ninjas, superheroes and exotic tropical locales are all in the mix for this year's expo.

With parent company Square Enix already having laid out its wares for this year’s E3, British developer Eidos Interactive took the opportunity to do the same on Friday, outlining the three “major” titles it will exhibit at E3.

Batman: Arkham Asylum will bounce off the persisting popularity of last year’s Batman movie, pitting the superhero against all the villains he has locked up when he must fight his was through Gotham’s psychiatric asylum. Highlights will include a new combat system dubbed FreeFlow, and several maps that allow gamers to play as the Joker.

On a cutesier note, Mini Ninjas will put a playful bent on feudal Japan, allowing gamers to take control of a ninja clan of mini ninjas on a (hopefully less mini) adventure to restore order in a chaotic world.

Eidos hopes to give gamers a little vertigo with Just Cause 2, which will have them using a grappling hook and parachute to sling and glide all over a tropical sandbox environment in the same vein as Crysis.
