BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT

The Batman’s back and you’re gonna be in trouble (hey-la, hey-la, the Batman’s back!) Well, you’re going to be in deep guano should you be any of Gotham City’s ne’er-do-wells. The Scarecrow’s the leader of this particular nefarious gang (voiced by ace Aussie John Noble, aka Dr Walter Bishop from Fringe ), but if you’ve a hankering for bataranging old faves like Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, then you’ll be plenty satisfied as you step

into the boots of the one and only Dark Knight. If that’s not honour enough, there’s a new toy for him to play with – at least in this fourth instalment of this particular video game universe – the Batmobile. Yes, the legendary Bat-wheels are at your disposal as basic transport or in the infinitely more enjoyable guise of weapon. This is, of course, on top of your usual arsenal of wonderful toys, which has been expanded for this occasion, as has Gotham – it’s about

five times bigger. This outing takes place a year after what went down in Batman: Arkham City , which we won’t spoil as we reckon spoilers are a dead-set Joker, erm, joke. Gotham’s denizens have been sleeping more comfily, but not for long as threats and an evacuation leave a simple equation... Batman versus baddies! If you liked this, you may also like.. .

THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE: TAMRIEL UNLIMITED

All the thrills, spills and copious knee scrapes of MotoGP hit home at breakneck speed, bringing everything that the dedicated motorcycle racing nut could want – and likely some stuff that they hadn’t even thought of. Boasting an official licence, all the teams, riders, tracks and bikes of the 2015 MotoGP season are included, from all three racing classes. Or you can create your own team, livery and all. The career mode’s been seriously bolstered, including everything from managing your team to schmoozing sponsors. Relive real events, do time trials, race up to 12 others online and... We’d mention more, but we’ve gotta get on our bikes and ride.

Come, back in time (imagine twirly, swirly visual effects here)... We’re in the fabled land of Tamriel, but long before Skyrim , Oblivion and even Morrowind happened. New for loyal ES fans is that Tamriel Unlimited offers a completely connected MMORPG experience, so you can keep tabs on friends, journey with them or just go about your business solo. You start on a quest for soul, as that slave-driving slimeball Molag Bal has nabbed yours. If that’s not enough, there’s also the matter of preventing the worlds of Nim and Oblivion becoming one seriously hellish collision AND a power struggle for control of Tamriel. You’re swamped!
