As a huge fan of Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series on home game consoles, I've been one of the many fans eagerly anticipating the release of the gritty prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, coming up at the end of the month. But in a much-welcomed and surprise move, NetherRealm Studios has graced us with a mobile tie-in version of Batman: Arkham Origins. Coming from the same developer who gave a similar mobile treatment to other big-time superhero games like Batman: Arkham City and Injustice: Gods Among Us, how would this latest touchscreen brawler hold up to the expectations of excellence that Batman has brought to the gaming world at large in recent years? Spoiler alert: it holds up well, very well. The fully voiced and animated opening cinematic of Batman: Arkham Origins is simply astounding, and it made me feel like I was watching a full-fledged console game right there in the palm of my hands. The graphics elsewhere in the game are also up to the highest of caliber, from the fluid combat animations to the nice variety of thug types and environments, and the dark and ominous tone of the Batman Arkham console games has been revitalized here quite gloriously. Much like its upcoming big brother console game, the story of Batman: Arkham Origins involves a number of deadly assassins all vying to be the one who kills Batman once and for all, in order to win a substantial monetary reward. This allows the game to incorporate some wonderful and frightening boss fights against these assassins, like Deadshot, Copperhead, and my personal favorite, Deathstroke. The actual gameplay of Batman: Arkham Origins is extremely top-notch, and should be familiar to anyone who's ever played . In each combat mission, players simply tap on the screen to pummel oncoming hordes of street thugs and other devious villains, while holding down two fingers on the screen to defend against blowbacks and other cheap shots. What's great about this is that the control scheme is so easy to get into, but offers just as much depth for those players who really want to make the most of it. Batman is capable of holding two different battle stances, an Assault Stance and a Guarded Stance, and activating each one opens up a number of additional special attacks or healing boosts that you can activate mid-fight. |

| Batman: Arkham Origins (iOS/ Android): How to unlock every batsuit
Added: 22.10.2013 3:17 | 10 views | 0 comments
WP - "There are loads of adversaries to fight in Batman: Arkham Origins, including at least 8 different supervillains such as Electrocutioner and Copperhead (labeled "assassins" in this game). You need to gain power in order to beat them, and your primary method of doing that will be buying new batsuits. Luckily, there's an entire wardrobe worth in here, spanning the entire Batman archive all the way from the 1960s to Injustice: Gods Among Us (the most recent brand new one, aside from this game)."

| Batman: Arkham Origins (iOS/Android): How to get more Upgrade Points and free Waynetech Points
Added: 20.10.2013 10:17 | 9 views | 0 comments
WP - "Batman: Arkham Origins is a new brawler for the iOS and Android that's loosely based off of the console game of the same name. Gameplaywise, it can best be described as a successor to Injustice: Gods Among Us, as the fighting mechanics are very similar, but you'll be facing a whole host of different villains in this game that are more unique to the Batman franchise. Upgrade points are the primary currency in the game, while Waynetech points are the premium currency."

WP - "Batman: Arkham Origins is a new game for the iPhone, iPad and Android based on the console game of the same name. The console version is an action adventure game; this, on the other hand, is a beat em up fighting game, much like the mobile version of Injustice: Gods Among Us as far as gameplay goes, except that you play only as Batman, but with a huge inventory of batsuits, special skills and upgrades."

| Six Months Later... Injustice: Gods Among Us

Ian Fisher writes: Upon its release in April of this year Injustice was met with mostly good praise for what it did, both in presenting a rather complex story and in refining the game mechanics as well. With the initial shock of a NetherRealm made DC game being out of the way now, I thought it would be cool to take a look at Injustice: Gods Among Us once again with the return of Shogun Gamers Six Months Later feature to see if the game truly is a classic or if people merely got aboard the hype train faster than Barry Allen could.
