Last week we were teased with a quick battle between Batman and central villain Deathstroke, and today Warner Bros. Montreal have released the full trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins.

OriginsThe next highly anticipated title in Rocksteady’s Batman series has been revealed to be Arkham Origins, a prequel to Asylum focusing on a younger Batman and his first encounters with famous allies and villains.

It will be developed by Warner Bros. Montreal rather than Rocksteady but they have access to the modified Unreal engine so that it will play and look similar to previous installments.

It used to be your gaming experience ending when the credits rolled but nowadays, downloadable content is the norm. New content comes in a variety of forms from powerful weapons and armor to lengthy side missions that can extend your playing experience considerably.

This year’s nominations for BEST DLC are…

Contrary to popular opinion, voice acting can be an extremely stressful job, and painfully difficult to sustain a livelihood from. However, a handful of talented people make the job look (and sound) easy, and their extensive portfolios are a testament to their skills. This week, PS3 Attitude is paying tribute to five of our favourite voice actors, and taking a look at their established careers.

Batman: Arkham City is without a doubt an epic adventure filled with the most illustrious villains to cross paths with the caped crusader. Harley Quinn plans to step up as a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming Harley Quinn’s Revenge DLC. Is she a real psychopath or just misunderstood?

We’ve moved on from 2011, but what a fine year it was. It was a year packed with many highlights: Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Portal 2, Skyrim, L.A. Noire and Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City, to name just a few.

But we now turn our collective eyes towards the gems 2012 will bestow on us, and it looks set to be another fantastic year.

Over two articles, the PS3 Attitude’s writers are selecting their three most anticipated games of 2012. Staff writers Stefhutch20 and Ryanmoto3 put their votes forward in part 1 and editors DolphGB, Majiesto and Seanoc are following up now.

So without further ado, here are the hottest PS3 games of 2012, selected by Team Attitude.

Now that I’ve had some time to look back at the year that was 2011 (technically still is in fact), it’s no longer hyperbole to declare it one of the industry’s best since the dawn of Pong. Nearly every highly-anticipated game made good on its potential (except for you, Dragon Age II), making it nearly impossible to widdle this embarrassment of riches down to a solitary game.

News of near perfect (sometimes perfect) Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 scores has exploded across the internet today. The high ratings follow on from the incredible critical success of Batman: Arkham City last week. But which do the critics love most?

In 2009 Rocksteady Studios rescued the superhero genre from the depths of mediocrity and disappointment with Batman: Arkham Asylum. Making it safe for fans everywhere to thrust themselves into Bruce Wayne’s cape and cowl without hesitation.

While in development, the narrative surrounding Batman: Arkham City (BAC) evolved to whether or not it could surpass the lauded achievements of the original. Having spent considerable time with Arkham City we can lay to rest any and all reservations concerning Rocksteady’s second tour with the Dark Knight with a decisive yes.

Last year, PS3 Attitude brought you Pure Platinum, our guide to the best classic games on the PlayStation 3. In the PAL region, if a game sells at least 400,000 copies, then it qualifies for Sony’s Platinum range, giving it a swanky new case and, more importantly, a big price cut.

Since our first Pure Platinum feature, many more AAA games have joined the range, so, with December just around the corner, we thought it was about time we updated the list, in the hope of helping new PS3 owners sort out their Christmas lists.

Thus far a bounty of characters from both the Batman and DC universes have been announced for Batman: Arkham City.

The inclusion of lesser known villains like Solomon Grundy is great but we’d be remiss if the Joker didn’t get his proper due.

Good news: it looks like Mr. Freeze has officially been added to the ever-growing list of characters to be featured in the forthcoming (October 18) Batman: Arkham Asylum. Better news: he looks and sounds nothing like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, the plump and pompous Batman villain better known as the Penguin, will be making his presence felt this October in Arkham City.

The flightless one will no doubt engage in his fair share of mayhem however a strange alliance with a certain undead individual makes him a far more formidable foe.

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment today unveiled the Batman: Arkham City Collector’s Edition for UK release. The special edition will launch alongside the standard version on 21 October 2011.

It includes all the usual stuff that you expect to see in a Collector’s Edition: a figurine, music album, artbook etc. but it is a nice package and should appeal to Batman fans.

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment have released a bio and artwork for Harvey Dent AKA Two-Face. The acid-scarred criminal is set to appear in Batman: Arkham City, and we can’t wait to take him on. We consider Two-Face to be one of Bob Kane’s most interesting creations. This is why:

In the Batman universe The Riddler has always (with the exception of the Hush series) been somewhat of a punching bag. A swollen bag of hot air, consistently talking a big game only to fall well short of fulfilling his grandiose diatribes.

In Batman: Arkham City, Rocksteady’s anticipated sequel, however Edward Nigma will be taking on a darker, more sinister role.

Press releases are important, screenshots are nice and trailers are exciting but uncut gameplay footage is where it’s really at. The crème de la crème of pre-release content.

In anticipation of Batman’s return to the PS3 Rocksteady Games has supplied a hearty chunk of uncut gameplay footage to tide Dark Knight fans over until the time comes for Arkham City’s release. Go on take a look and validate your excitement.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum the Riddler constantly mocked the Dark Knight as he solved all of the riddles hidden in and around the confined prison. In Arkham City, however, Edward Nigma will be coming out from the shadows and play a more pronounced role in the game.
