Batman: Arkham Knight is set to arrive worldwide on June 2, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One.

Along with the release date for the next chapter in the Dark Knight’s increasingly-open world saga, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive also revealed two collector’s editions. The Limited Edition includes an art book, a SteelBook case, a comic book, an exclusive New 52 character skin pack, and a Batman statue (plus the game), all for $100. The Batmobile Edition includes all of the above, but substitutes a transforming Batmobile for the Batman statue, for $200.

This capstone to the trilogy that Rocksteady Studios began with 2009’s classic Arkham Asylum will finally deliver on the promise of an open and complete Gotham City. Expect bone-crunching melee combos and gadgets aplenty. The Batmobile will also finally take center stage as a versatile keystone of Batman’s high-tech arsenal that will help you quickly traverse Arkham Knight‘s huge map and send baddies scattering along the way, along with a variety of other interesting uses.

The best Lego games of all time
best lego games featured

Although most associate the term "Lego games" with the licensed titles released by TT Games in the past decade or so, the company has been producing video games since 1997 (1995, even, if you include the Japan-exclusive Lego Fun to Build). Today, Lego is still making games from its own properties but is best known for its work with other brands, namely LucasArts, Marvel, and DC. Movie tie-in or not, here are the best Lego games of all time.

There are a lot of Lego games, though. We've narrowed our list to 10 options, but there are plenty more for you to play. If you're interested in a particular franchise, there's probably a Lego game for it. Lego Indiana Jones, for example, is an excellent game, but it feels a lot like Lego Star Wars. We tried to make our list as diverse as possible, so if you don't see your favorite franchise, it doesn't mean the Lego rendition is bad, just that it doesn't stand out from the pack.

This month's updates mostly include quality-of-life improvements and major bug fixes. December introduces fresh features like supply lines, a Ridden Practice area, and a solo offline mode with campaign progression. This winter update also incorporates new card types and cards into the game's card system, which should mix up the meta as it is now.
