developers, <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/84163-the-best-games-of-2015-according-to-the-game-awards.html\" target=\"_blank\">having awarded the best games of 2015<\/a>, it\u2019s also a key opportunity for publishers to unleash some big game announcement and trailers.<\/p>\n<p>While we\u2019ve covered a few of these announcements in greater detail, we thought we&#8217;d round up all of the trailers and reveals, so that you don\u2019t get left in the dark:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Batman \u2013 A Telltale Game Series<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/84155-telltale-games-is-working-on-a-batman-game.html\" target=\"_blank\">Telltale has revealed that they\u2019re working on a Batman game. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>During The Game Awards 2015, Telltale premiered a brief teaser trailer that acted as a tone piece for the series.<\/p>\n<p>This iteration of Batman will give fans a first-hand opportunity to dive deeper into the complex life and mind of Bruce Wayne, the duality of his own identity and the struggle of responsibility in saving a city overcome with corruption and villainy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hrG_GfF_wWk?wmode=opaque\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\"

things about The Game Awards is the way it gives a platform for indie titles just as much as mainstream games, particularly in the case of new release from <em>Gone Home<\/em> and <em>BioShock 2<\/em> developer Johnnemann Nordhagen.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s set in the American Deep South in the early part of the 20th century and is described as \u2018a bleak American folk tale about travelling, sharing stories, and surviving manifest destiny\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an intriguing concept, to say the least, and the artwork is just sublime.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\"

in the next DLC pack for <em>Mortal Kombat X<\/em>, with the headliner of the group being the alien from\u2026 <em>Alien<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The Predator was already added with the first DLC, making a match-up between the two a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, the end of the trailer implies the alien is perhaps some sort of hybrid with Baraka, with Predator style wrist blades.<\/p>\n<p>The other three characters are Leatherface from <em>Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em>, Bo Rai Cho who was briefly featured in the story mode, and new character Tri-Borg \u2013 a merged version of Cyrax, Sektor and Robot
