Lego Batman: The Videogame

"The adorable Dark Knight is back to defend Gotham City from blocky, plastic ne'er do-wells. But this time he's brought a few pals from the Justice League to help with his war on the stackable building blocks of evil. He'll be joined by several of DC Comic's top-tier characters in Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes. Other Justice League characters confirmed are Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern."

OnLive announced today that it is bringing console-class gaming to mobile devices with the OnLive app for tablet and mobile platforms. The latest top-tier games will be available for instant play via the free OnLive app on over 500 million mobile devices over Wi-Fi or mobile networks in the US and UK for iPad, iPhone and Android devices.

"Probably the best thing about number 4 on our list is that she's not a good girl. She's naughty. She's a little bit crazy, but then again, aren't they all? She dresses in a leotard, a schoolgirl outfit, or some combination of black and red goth attire. She paints her face a little more obviously than most women -- all of this while still maintaining some kind of innocence that makes her seem sweet even while threatening you with an oversized mallet. How does she do it? I don't know, but..."

"With Traveller's Tales and Warner Bros locking down the rights to create Lego-based video games at least until 2016 and a stable of instant hits released and upcoming titles like Harry Potter on the way, we wanted to look at the licenses we'd most like to see teleported into the popular Lego Universe."

With LEGO Batman - the Action and Adventure game - releasing just three days ago, a new trailer has been put out, which is showing the evil villains, such as the Joker, doing dastardly deeds!

In addition, there will also be game ads. A specific one that is being used will be the popular music game titled Rock Band 2.

"Before this week, developer Traveller’s Tales had released a total of four Lego games which covered only two licenses: Star Wars and Indiana Jones. It is with some relief then that we greet the arrival of Lego Batman: The Videogame. Not only does the game feature improvements over the late-Spring disappointment that was Lego Indiana Jones, it also finally takes on a license which wasn’t created by George Lucas. While Lego Batman: The Videogame still falls short in many ways to the superio..."

List is in the source.

"Traveler's Tales is putting in some nice work on their upcoming release Lego Batman: The Videogame (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, DS, PC) as seen in these screenshots. We've grabbed hold of them in a recent press release, and we were pleasantly surprised with what we had to see.

The villains, as shown in these shots, look pretty cute in their blocky glory. Icons of the series like Mr. Freeze and The Scarecrow look diabolically delightful, making us more excited to see them come to lif..."

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. The same saying goes for the PSP. It's already made big waves this year with God of War: Chains of Olympus and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, but don't think for a second that it's done pulling the punches yet!

PSP Blogger takes a look at some of the titles still planned for the PSP in 2008. Among these are a few new games, but there's also a few older ones coming out via the Playstation Store.
