The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City is out in October. And it’s shaping up pretty nicely.
Inspired by the Half-Life video games, Beyond Black Mesa centres around Adrian Shephard and a band of resistance fighters struggling to get out a warning about impending invasion. Directed by Brian Curtin.
Though the film was somewhat flawed, Michel Gondry’s Be Kind, Rewind brought into the world the quite brilliant swedeing. After film has taken a fair few YouTube remakes, Greg Borenstein and friends instead hit the iOS game The Incident. It’s one of the best video game-to-film adaptations yet.

Back for a second season, HBO have put out this iPhone game too, and though it’s not available outside the States, which is more than a little irritating, it is 8-bit brilliance, and free to boot. There’s insults galore as you strive to get Kenny Powers’ career back on track, and while you might complete it in 30 minutes, it’s still more than worth the space on your iPhone. Get it from the iTunes App Store.

Don’t you just hate it when random stuff starts falling from the sky? Yeah, us too. Handily, Big Bucket Software captured this every day problem in a game. And it’s amazing.
What with running a magazine and all, it’s hard to find the time to play games, but this. looks. awesome. Out now on the Xbox Live Arcade.
