Several standalone story episodes have been released for Batman: Arkham Knight in the months since it was originally released.  Most of them follow a simple formula with a linear pathway, but the DLC pack titled “A Matter of Family” is different. In it, you control Batgirl in a mission before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

This DLC pack is not only longer than the other ones, it has its own collectibles, trophies/achievements, and more.  Take a look and watch us play it. All game footage is provided with video commentary.

Batman: Arkham Knight is out now for PC, Xbox One and PS4.

The mythical Pokémon Victini is being distributed online for free starting today to all Pokémon Trainers. You might remember Victini from the Gen 5 titles Pokémon Black and Pokémon White.

You will need to have your 3DS system connected to the Internet and patched to the latest version of the game from the Nintendo eShop to receive your Pokémon, but if you don’t have access to Wireless Intetnet you can bring your 3DS online at any Nintendo Zone location.

To get your own Victini, simply fire up any copy of a Generation 6 Pokémon game, select Mystery Gift from the main menu, and select the option to receive a gift from the Internet.


Once you have Victini downloaded, you can pick it up from the mail lady at any in-game Pokémon Center.

Victini and all of the other Mythical Pokémon offered this year are banned from competitive play in official Pokémon League matches.

Pokemon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are out now on Nintendo 3DS platforms.

We finished up our Let’s Play of Batman: Arkham Knight on the PS4 last weekend but sadly all of the game’s final mission and ending is censored.  So to make it up to everyone who has not had the chance to check out the game for themselves, we decided to look at some of the game’s DLC content.

First up, we’ll be looking at the Scarecrow AR missions which are exclusive to the PS4 version of the game, and then we will be moving on to some special Batmobile tracks you may remember from the earlier Batman films and television series.

All footage is provided with video commentary.

If this isn’t enough for you, don’t worry. We will be taking a look at Batgirl’s DLC expansion pack “A Matter of Family” next time.

Batman: Arkham Knight is out now on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV Out Now on Digital Platforms August 31, 2016

KINGSGLAIVE: Final Fantasy XV was first announced at the Final Fantasy XV Uncovered event several months ago. It is an entirely CGI film which tells the story of what happened to Final Fantasy XV’s secondary characters King Regis and Luna during the events of the game. It saw a very limited but successful theatrical run and it is getting a home video release.

If you’re like me and lived nowhere near a theatre that was showing Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV you’re probably anxious to see the film for yourself. Today, I’m happy to announce that the film has been released for purchase on various digital only services including iTunes and On Demand.

Don’t know if you want to see it yet?  Here’s a preview the first twelve minutes of the movie!

Personally, I’m going to to wait for the Blu-Ray Disc release in October.  Copies of the film on Blu-Ray Disc are also being bundled with all physical premium versions of Final Fantasy XV at retail.

Throughout the history of the franchise, Final Fantasy titles have included special minigames to enhance the game’s universe and add to the fun of the game.  Final Fantasy XV is no different, as Square Enix announced Justice Monsters Five, an interactive pinball game, would be the playable minigame at the game’s preview event several months ago.

The developers promised to offer special Final Fantasy XV bonuses for anyone who downloaded the standalone game. It was expected to launch a month or two ago, but it was delayed until late August.  Well, we now have a firm release date for the game. The service is expected to go live at 11:00 tomorrow, but you can download the game right now.

You can download it right now using an iOS device from Apple’s App Store and Android device users should also be able to find it on the Google Play service. A Windows 10 version was also announced but it has been delayed.

Justice Monsters Five is free to download.  Just be aware the game supports in-app purchases.

Final Fantasy XV is coming November 2016 to Xbox One and PS4.

If you want to see players compete in the Pokémon Trading Card Game then subscribe to the Twitch.TV Pokemon TCG Channel.  The Pokémon TCG has been played at Worlds since these tournaments began, even before players were battling in the Pokémon video games, so it has a long history of great players.

If you would specifically want to watch the Pokkén Tournament um…Tournament, check out the Official Pokken Tournament Twitch Channel.  This is the first year the final version of Pokkén Tournament is being played at Worlds and there’s great potential for this event.
