The video shows off the one of the Combat Maps entitled ‘Blind Justice,’ pitting Batman against wave after wave of enemies and awarding points for dispatching them in chains of combos. Batman’s combat is familiar to anyone who played through Arkham Asylum, but you might be surprised at just how different the action feels when painted with the blue and yellow brush of Batman’s 1970’s comic style. We know that there are plenty more costumes coming, so hopefully each one will have a similar effect on the look and feel of Arkham City....

What Is EA Play Live? Electronic Arts (EA) chose to skip this year’s E3 conference in favor of hosting its own series of mini-presentations throughout July. The main showcase will be broadcasted on July 22 and will include updates on high-profile releases like Apex Legends and Knockout City. In the lead up to this, there will also be four supplementary livestreams called “Spotlights” that concentrate on particular topics. For instance, there will be one next week on the future of indie gaming and another on July 19 about how community feedback is helping to inform the design of Madden NFL 22....

[HTML1] For Battlefield 3’s final DLC package, appropriately titled End Game, developer DICE is pulling out the stops. Yes, they aren’t giving us the dinosaur-filled expansion we’ve been clamoring for since launch, but they are introducing some new and exciting modes, vehicles, and maps. Among the creamiest of the crop is the Air Superiority Mode, which is returning from a brief hiatus, and promises to do away with the riff raff and focus purely on the aerial experience....

Considering how well it did in the market the past two years, this is quite a lofty goal. Mocking demos aside, Call of Duty is now, after all, the best selling game of all time. So how do DICE and EA plan to topple the most established franchise in years? Well, they designed it specifically for that purpose. Says John Riccitiello: The details of the next Call of Duty are still hazy however, it remains one of the most anticipated imminent announcements among the gaming community....

DICE confirmed that players who pick up the game on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 will be able to carry over their stats to the next-gen consoles. The transfers will only work from Xbox 360 to Xbox One or PlayStation 3 to PlayStation 4. No crossing the streams, folks. Players who can handle that restriction will be able to bring over their stats, unlocks, and rank to their Xbox One or PlayStation 4....

To that end, it’s clear that everything possible is being done to make sure that Hardline makes up for the poor experience that many fans had with Battlefield 4. To that end, EA and Visceral Games are launching a broad community feedback program called ‘Game Changers’, which they hope will help steer development in the right direction. Selected participants of the ‘Game Changers’ program have been invited to spend time looking in on the progress being made on Hardline, testing the game out at various stages over the course of its development....

John Roderick has issued an apology in response to the immense backlash that he’s received, after he shared a story about a time when he withheld food from his daughter. In a lengthy open letter shared on his website on Tuesday, the musician—who was recently dubbed “Bean Dad” by the internet—explained that he deactivated his Twitter account on Monday “in a panic” and took a moment to “reflect on what I’d done and the hurt I’d caused....

It is understood that Olunga’s future with Chinese club Guizhou Zhicheng is now hanging in the balance after the arrival of Spanish duo Mario Suarez and Ruben Castro from Watford (England) and La Liga side Real Betis respectively. The Gregorio Manzano-coached side has already struck out Olunga and Egyptian Aly Ghazal from the 40-man first team list and relegated them to the reserve squad. Pressure is also mounting on Chinese football chiefs to change the foreign quota rule....

To recap the controversy, Turtle Rock Studios’ cooperative shooter came under fire at launch for not sufficiently catering to its solo audience. Among other things, fans were displeased with the quality of its A.I. bots, the fact that you must always be logged in (even if you are not using the online functionality) and how the game does not track your progress unless you join matches with other people....

The Wales international has endured another testing campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu, with injuries and tactical tinkering limiting his impact. With Zinedine Zidane having taken to benching the 28-year-old at times, it has been suggested that a summer move could be made – with Manchester United reported to be long-standing suitors. Bale’s representatives have, however, sought to curb the transfer talk at regular intervals and McManaman believes that a three-time Champions League winner would prefer to remain in Spain....

DICE’s shooter was supposed to be the next online phenomenon to rival the likes of Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone. Yet it simply has not taken off the way it was intended, with its concurrent player count dropping precipitously and fans being unhappy with the direction it took the franchise in (to the point where older Battlefield installments are actually more popular on Steam right now). It was simply riddled with technical errors, network issues, lag, and an assortment of balancing problems that made it difficult to enjoy....

Game Rant’s Rob Keyes reviews Battleship. While films based on Hasbro toys exist to push merchandising to a wider audience, they are not immune to the obligatory movie tie-in treatment either. Both G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and the entire Transformers film trilogy received release-date-focused video games that were better off not existing. Can veteran movie-tie-in developer Double Helix Games overcome this stigma in their attempt at delivering a modern spin on the Battleship series, with a game that doubles as a shooter and a naval strategy game?...

Batwoman Episode 8, titled “A Mad Tea-Party,” ended with a scene that saw Harrison “Nash” Wells (played by Tom Cavanagh) crossover from The Flash into its sister CW show. In the scene, he was seen in Central City, outside of the Eternium door, behind which is The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett). The character had been on a mission to kill The Monitor, but decided he could not go through with it....

The highly-rated midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch to the reigning Bundesliga champions for some time, while the likes of Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool have also been reported as admirers Schalke spotted his potential early when acquiring the 22-year-old from Bochum, but face losing him as a free agent at the end of his contract next summer. Former Germany international Thon believes “a minor miracle” is required to prevent that from happening, with Goretzka destined to be heading for the Allianz Arena....

In the second minute of injury time, the 31-year-old intercepted a pass just outside the box, beat four men before placing his final effort beyond goalkeeper Sean Johnson for the last goal of the game. Four days later, the strike has risen to utmost importance as it effectively handed Crew passage to the final on a 4-3 aggregate as the Black and Gold fell 2-0 away in the second leg on Sunday....

Live feed viewers also claim both Jackson Michie and Matthews have used the N-word to describe the first eliminated houseguest, David Alexander. A video of the controversial conversation surfaced on Twitter by user @powerofcheeto1. The specific wording used by both houseguests has not been clarified, and CBS has not yet made a statement. This is far from the first time a Big Brother contestant has used the N-word on the live feeds....

Butler reached down and, desiring to show his satisfaction at making the shot, put on a sometimes-common display among NBA players—he mimicked a certain part of the male anatomy, a gesture known as, “big cojones,” pioneered by one of the game’s all-time most confident players, Sam Cassell. The NBA considers this obscene and fined Butler $15,000 for it Wednesday. It fined Andray Blatche for the same gesture a few days earlier, and last year, fined guard Marco Belinelli for it during the playoffs....

Research has shown that young novice drivers are at more risk of being involved in automobile accidents than older motorists. A 2002 study by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation concluded that teen drivers were more prone to either underestimating risk or failing to recognize dangerous situations on the road. Accidents on the road can and will happen, particularly with younger motorists, so it’s essential that they are fully covered against any and all eventualities....

It’s unlikely that any fans who already have their calendars marked for the game’s release need any more convincing that it will give them their money’s worth. Aside from the already sizable singleplayer campaign, players will have the completely separate Challenge Mode. These maps and tasks can be attempted as Batman, Catwoman, or even a newly-redesigned Robin (in a multitude of costumes). But when demonstrating the Challenge Mode at this year’s Gamescom, G4TV noticed something intriguing....
