NEWS: Gauntlet Reboot Revealed

Warner Bros. Interactive has announced a reboot of the arcade classic.

The newly established publisher WB Games Vault is to release a revamped version of the 1985 arcade game, featuring all four character classes players have come accustomed to over the years. A release date has not yet been specified, but the game is expected to hit Steam during the summer.

Each character has their own respective traits, strengths and weaknesses - the Wizard has the ability to cast powerful magic whilst lacking the high defence of the Valkyrie, who is able to sustain large amounts of damage. 

The Warrior can deal the most melee damage, whilst finally the Elf can maneuver through the game at rapid speeds, making him the fastest member of the group.

As seen in the video below, the game will provide numerous procedural dungeons equipped with tons of enemies, all taking place in a hack n slash environment. 

PREVIEW: Batman Arkham Origins - TV Ad Trailer

A 53 second long video has been released, showing the Bruce Wayne to Batman transformation.

We all know Batman is really Bruce Wayne, and vice versa - if you don't, where have you been all this time? Warner Bros have released a short TV ad portraying Bruce as a child, in which he eventually grows into The Dark Knight persona.

A young Bruce Wayne looks happy for a few seconds, until the shooting of his father becomes apparent - now throughout the rest of the ad the expression on Wayne is that of anger and sadness, craving the vengeance he rightfully deserves.

Watch the ad below, it's definitely moving and really makes you feel for Batman.

NEWS: Batman Arkham Origins - Season Pass Details Surface

Details regarding the Batman Arkham Origins season pass have surfaced, and could save you a considerable amount of you cash if you're planning on playing all of the DLC content.

Warner Bros. announced that those with a season pass will have access to "an all-new story campaign", amongst other goodies. 

The season pass will be available on PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC, and will retail at a one off payment of £15.99 - if the DLC packs are bought individually, it will cost you £27.99. If you're serious about getting the 5 upcoming packs, I'd go with the season pass. I'm not a sales person, I swear.

Straight from Warner Bros. themselves, the pass will grant you access to the following:

• Arkham Origins Initiation: Play as Bruce Wayne before he became Batman, and face his final test to prove himself worthy to his greatest teacher, Kirigi.
