Screenshots for Batman: Arkham Knight show of the Dark Knight’s newest enemy

By Ryan Fleming Published April 24, 2023

Rocksteady’s upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight may be the developer’s last foray into the world of Batman, but the studio seems to be planning on going out with a bang. Where the previous Arkham games, including WB Montreal’s Batman: Arkham Origins, all took established pieces of the Batman DC universe and crafted a new story around them, Arkham Knight is trying something different.

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces an original character in the Arkham Knight, one of the game’s main antagonists (although we still don’t know much about him yet). According to Rocksteady, this character is unique to the Arkham universe, and is a completely original creation from the developer. For a closer look at the game and how the new character is introduced, check out our recent preview.

Along with shots of the Knight in action, you can also check out some new looks at Batman from the upcoming game, as well as the newly remodeled Gotham City designed for next-gen systems. Batman: Arkham Knight hits PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 14, 2014.

The best Zelda dungeons, ranked

Link and Zelda under Hyrule Castle in "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."

There are a lot of metrics I could use to rank the best Zelda games. I could talk about the best Zelda bosses, the worlds, items, and more, but I believe the dungeons are the biggest individual factor in deciding how each game stacks up to the others. These are the meat of every Zelda game. All the combat and puzzle solving happens here, and the excitement of exploring each one is what pushes us to want to explore these worlds. The boss is the icing on the cake, but a good dungeon can be the highlight of the entire game. Looking back at all Zelda games, I have made some tough calls to bring you a list of the best Zelda dungeons, ranked.

We need to start having real conversations about AI in gaming

Copilot Quake II game.

AI has become a dirty word across almost every discipline over the past few years. As big corporations keep pushing this technology forward, a vocal resistance among creatives, critics, and passionate communities has risen up in opposition. While every creative medium is at risk of AI influence now, gamers are particularly sensitive about this technology sucking the creativity and human element from our beloved medium. Even the mere mention of AI being used in game development triggers a massive backlash, but we need to start being more nuanced in how we talk about the ways AI should and should not be used. Because, like it or not, AI is going to become more ubiquitous in gaming. We can't keep talking about AI as though it is a black-and-white thing. It is a tool, and like any tool, there are ways it can be used appropriately.

The question we need to ask ourselves now is, when is it ethical to use and what crosses the line?

Mecha Break is the closest I’ve felt to piloting a real Gundam outside Japan

Key art for Mecha Break.

In 2015, in a mostly-empty arcade in Fukuoka, I slid into the pilot seat of a Gundam.

I pulled the door down, watching as it seamlessly merged with the rest of the wall and turned into a display of my surroundings. As I pulled the earpiece down, the radio crackled to life as other pilots greeted me through comms.
