Lego Batman 2 rises to the top of the June 2012 bestsellers list

Posted on July 12, 2012 by John Scalzo

With editions on seven different platforms, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes rose to the top of The NPD Group’s monthly list of bestselling games. The remainder of the list was split between new releases, May holdovers, and Fall 2011 games that are still popular.

There were only a handful of new games available in June with Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (#2), Pokemon Conquest (#7), and The Amazing Spider-Man (#10) all earning spots in the top ten. Grasshopper’s Lollipop Chainsaw didn’t make the cut, continuing Suda 51’s lack of success at the register.

An astounding four games from Fall 2011 continue to sell strongly enough to make the top ten: NBA 2K12 (#5), Batman: Arkham City (#6, boosted by the newly released Game of the Year Edition), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (#8), and Battlefield 3 (#9). I’m sure it helps that all were among the best-reviewed games of last year.

As a whole, game and hardware sales are down 29% from June 2011, according to Joystiq.

A complete list of last month’s best-selling games can be found after the break. (more…)

PS Store Today: Ghost Recon Future Solider, Lego Batman 2, more

Posted on June 19, 2012 by John Scalzo

It’s Tuesday afternoon, so that means gamers across the country are about to receive another massive PlayStation Store update from Sony. This week’s theme appears to be sequel-related.

For example, there’s the latest entry in the Ghost Recon series, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (PS3). There’s also the most recent Lego game, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (Vita). Rounding out the Full Games update is Two Worlds II: Velvet Game Of The Year Edition (PS3), which took its name from the velvet case it originally came in. Kind of hard to replicate that on the PS Store.

On the PSN front, there’s Magic: The Gathering – Duels Of The Planeswalkers 2013, which is a sequel to the equally tongue-twisting Magic: The Gathering – blah blah blah 2012.

Finally, the PSone Classic Tomba! is now available to download from the PSN. It’s not a sequel, but it did eventually receive a sequel and maybe that game will make an appearance in a future PS Store update.

For more information on all of these games, hit the jump. And for a complete list of this week’s new game add-ons, including the Battlefield 3 “Close Quarters” expansion, head over to the PlayStation Blog. (more…)

Check out this awesome Arkham City-inspired Lego Batman 2 concept art

Posted on May 17, 2012 by John Scalzo

We don’t know if these Batman: Arkham City-inspired character models will make it into Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, but they definitely should. The striking white-on-white art style of Arkham City really works when applied to Lego minifigs.

You can view the three pieces of concept art (featuring Robin, The Joker, and Catwoman) in a gallery after the break.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes will be in stores on June 19 for the 3DS, DS, PC, PS3, Vita, Wii, and Xbox 360. (more…)

Rumor: Lego Batman 2 also includes Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman

Posted on November 28, 2011 by John Scalzo

Warner Bros. President Martin Tremblay confirmed that Lego Batman 2 is in development for a 2012 release last month. But it looks like the Brick Knight’s next adventure will include some help from a few of his super friends.

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice…

A teaser poster for the game has appeared on Lego fan site BrickTuts showing the title as Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. The poster features the Caped Crusader and his Batmobile battling The Joker alongside Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.

BrickTuts doesn’t cite a source for the poster, but this rumor is likely no joke as Lego has already announced plans to release a DC Super Heroes line of Lego sets in 2012.

Rumor Twin powers activate!

WB doing The Hobbit, Lego Batman 2, more in 2012; Mortal Kombat 10 on track for 2013

Posted on October 18, 2011 by John Scalzo

Have you caught Batman: Arkham City fever yet? The Los Angeles Times sure has as the newspaper’s business section interviewed Martin Tremblay, the President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, to coincide with the game’s release today.

While Tremblay talked a bit about Bruce Wayne’s battle against the denizens of Arkham City, the real focus was on WB’s future, including their 2012 slate of games. Currently, the publisher plans to release The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey right around the same time as Peter Jackson’s movie of the same name, Lego Batman 2 and a game starring an unnamed DC Comics superhero.

Tremblay said he couldn’t talk about the game just yet, but who wants to start guessing who might be WB’s next video game star… Will it be Superman? The Flash? Wonder Woman? All of the above (AKA a Justice League game)? Your guess is as good as mine, but my money’s on Wonder Woman, she’s due for a gritty video game adaptation (plus, Rocksteady already has the whip animations down thanks to Catwoman’s appearance in Arkham City).

Oh, and a sidebar to the article revealed that the next Mortal Kombat game, Mortal Kombat 10, is expected to be released in 2013. Flawless news!
