The first three DLC packs will be available on November 11:

The Dark Knight Pack recreates the most exciting moments from Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, letting you play as Commissioner Gordon, Bane, Catwoman, and of course the Dark Knight himself.
The Man of Steel Pack casts you as Jor-El and Lara, trying to save the infant Superman from the fall of Krypton and the invading forces of General Zod–perhaps you can retcon Zack Snyder’s hot mess of a film into something worthwhile.
Lastly the Batman 75th Pack lets you play as the Joker and Harley Quinn in a celebration of Batman’s long history.

The rest have yet to be revealed. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is one of the largest games in the series, covering an extensive swath of the DC universe that should make any fan excited. It will be released on November 14.

Lenovo’s $99 280Hz gaming monitor is built for the ramen-budget crowd

Lenovo is selling a 280Hz monitor for less than GTA 6 Ultimate Edition

Lenovo gaming monitor render

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been

Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?

Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.
