It has already been announced that the upcoming Batman prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, is coming to PS Vita and 3DS (as a sort of Metroidvania style sidescroller with Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate). Now however, it has been announced that yet another spin-off title to the soon to be released game is coming to iOS and Android. Make no mistake however, this will not be a port of Blackgate, this will in fact be an original game. It is currently in development by the esteemed Mortal Kombat team at NetherRealm Studio, whose previous mobile efforts include the mobile version of Injustice: Gods Among Us as well as the iOS beat-’em-up, Batman: Arkham City Lockdown. The game promises “quality gameplay”, “stunning graphics”, and a free-to-play business model. It will be released within Batman: Arkham Origin’s console launch window for iOS, with an Android version to follow shortly. Batman: Arkham Origins is set for an October 25th release on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC.

Playing Paranormal is the latest feature here at Paranoid Gamer. The idea is simple: to profile all of our favorite video game monsters/creatures and the creative minds behind them.

Pyramid Head makes its first appearance in the 2001 horror classic Silent Hill 2, and has become something of a trademark of the series ever since. His imposing stature and large bladed death-dealing instrument allude to the series’ titular town and its dark past as a grounds for execution. The very iconic pyramid shaped head piece was designed to obscure the monster’s face, adding mystery and dread to his various on screen appearances.

Review – Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Starbreeze Studios makes first-person shooters. You already know who they are if you have ever played one of the surprisingly good Riddick games or last year’s FPS Syndicate revival. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, then comes as a pleasant surprise from this previously gun-crazy Swedish studio, not because it is a great game (Starbreeze has always made good games), but because Brothers could not be more different from anything the company has previously done. This game is simply fantastic, weaving an emotional and very human narrative through a beautiful bed-time story world full of magic, wonder, and true abject horror.
