Batman-The Telltale game series First look

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., June. 12th, 2016 -- Leading developer and publisher of digital entertainment, Telltale Games, with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment, today unveiled the first look at BATMAN - The Telltale Series ahead of its worldwide debut this summer.

The episodic game series will premiere digitally on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices, and will be shown to guests attending the annual E3 Gaming Expo this coming week in Los Angeles. The series will also be available on game consoles as a special 'Season Pass Disc' which will be available at retailers across North America, Latin America, and Europe later this summer, granting access to the five episode season as it becomes available for download.

"We've been hard at work at Telltale creating an all-new iteration of the iconic Batman story that puts players in the suit of billionaire Bruce Wayne, just as much as it will put them behind the mask, deciding how to carefully navigate a complex drama, rich with action, crime, corruption, and villainy lurking around every corner of Gotham City," said Kevin Bruner, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. "The complex life and fractured psyche of Bruce Wayne has lent itself to becoming a bold evolution of the signature 'Telltale' role-playing experience, and we couldn't be more excited as we prepare to debut the series to players across the world this summer."

Rendered to look like a living, breathing comic book, Telltale's vision of Batman will feature an award-winning cast of talent, including Troy Baker in the role of Bruce Wayne, Travis Willingham as Harvey Dent, Erin Yvette as Vicki Vale, Enn Reitel as Alfred Pennyworth, Murphy Guyer as Lieutenant James Gordon, Richard McGonagle as Carmine Falcone, and Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle. Additional cast and characters will be revealed as the season progresses.

Playcrafting Spring Expo 2016

Over 100 game developers will be showing off their latest games one-on-one to a crowd of 700 people. For developers, this is a great opportunity to show off their games (finished or unfinished) and get direct feedback from players. For everyone else, it's a unique opportunity to try out the biggest collection of games made in and around NYC all in one place. Each game gets its own booth as players meet the developers and try out their games. Throw pizza into the mix and you get Playcrafting's biggest event!

May 4th Otakus and Geeks join a crowd of gamers to check out what playcrafting had in store. The atmosphere was great with good food, good people and some really great games. After I stuff my face with the pizza provided it was time to hit the showroom floor. The first game I visited was a beat em up game for mobile and tablet devices called "Justice Royale." This 2d beat em up with a very simple but effective art style was a lot of fun to play. It brought me back to my days when I use to play beat em ups religiously on my genesis. The controls were easy and effective with the use of the touch screen. Tap to attack and swipe in different directions to evade enemy attacks, block and more. The game is really fun to play and with its stick figure art style it's sure to please gamers in the 2d beat em up.

After that I went to another booth that had a cover art of a monkey in space. I was immediately drawn to it. The game is called Major Chimp. A 3D space game created in unreal engine. It features a fully animated astronaut chimpanzee, and players will play him as he goes on his missions to space. You can check my gameplay impressions below.

Next I journey to a booth with a bunch of Space Cats. Animals in space seems to be a recurring theme in gaming. Space Cats in Space is an arcade space shooter game that was cool to play. Using the XBOX controller was easy and effective.  This brings back the classic arcade flight shooters that I like so much. The sound had great production, the gameplay is old school. You can check out the official video from the developer below.

Next was Antipole which is coming for the Nintendo DS. Command gravity in Antipole DX! Antipole DX is a remake of Antipole featuring a variety of improvements including all new graphics and music, extra levels, online leaderboards, Miiverse stamps, and more. Look for Antiople DX in the Nintendo eShop later in 2015.
