This week is a pretty big week for games, with the release of Batman: Arkham City swooping down on us this friday – but beyond the Dark Knight, there are a few other titles to grab your eyes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Batman: Arkham City (360\/PS3)
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably the biggest release this week – and quite possibly the entire month – Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to 2009’s hugely successful Arkham Asylum which was way better than anyone actually expected it to be.<\/p>\n

Developers Rocksteady Studios set a name for themselves with Arkham Asylum, and if the first reviews for Arkham City are anything to go by, it looks like they’re living up to it.<\/p>\n

Featuring some of Gotham’s greatest villains, such as Mr. Freeze, Hugo Strange, Two-Face, Penguin and The Joker, my nipples are literally perked up in anticapation for this.<\/p>\n

You can find me at the head of the queue when this game launches on Friday, 21 October 2011<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record (PS3)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We featured Dead Rising 2: Off The Record<\/a> last week, listing the new additions and changes the game would bring to the zombie-slaughtering action sequel.<\/p>\n

No matter how much we loved Dead Rising 2 (or cried at the obscene difficulty of its bosses) – bringing back Frank West and adjusting things to suit his perspective of the events; well that’s just awesome.<\/p>\n

With more ways to dispose of the zombie hordes, and new game modes and tweaks added to the mix – it might just be worth it to take another trip into Fortune City.<\/p>\n

Get yo’ slaughter awwwn this wednesday, 19 October 2011<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Blizzard Gold Classics (PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harken ye gamers of olde and nostalgia!<\/p>\n

If you happen to be feeling broody about BlizzCon happening this Friday and not being able to be there yourself, why not satiate your needs by taking a step back into the past with some Blizzard Classics.<\/p>\n

The Gold editions of Warcraft III, Diablo II and StarCraft go on sale Friday, 21 October 2011<\/span>, for a RRP of R99.<\/p>\n

Each title comes packaged with its expansion, so you’re getting the whole deal and get to relive the greatest Blizzard of yesteryear has to offer – all at a pretty decent price.<\/p>\n
