For those unfamiliar with Telltale&#8217;s games, they&#8217;re somewhat of a throwback to the storytelling point-and-click adventures of yesteryear, albeit with modern gameplay twists.<\/p>\n<p>So don&#8217;t expect another Batman Arkham game here, but rather a slower-paced look into the dual-life of Batman\/Bruce Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>In this second episode, the Dark Knight must uncover the truth of what Thomas Wayne was up to and why he was murdered. In order to learn more about his father, Bruce will have to investigate Gotham\u2019s criminal past. The question is who is going to ask the questions: Bruce Wayne or Batman?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XLCR0OMgZaU?rel=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>NBA 2K17<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>20 September 2016 (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NBA 2K17 gives players a chance to return to the court.
