Previously we had reported that the upcoming Batman First Person Shooter, Gotham City Impostors would be released on January 10th, but an announcement from Warner Brothers today has changed the release to sometime in February.
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.
This week on Digital High we go over our top three games of 2011, look forward to what 2012 has in store and discuss what games we just cannot wait to get our hands on that are due out in the coming year.

A recent post on Siliconera adds further fuel to the fire that God of War 4 is on the way. This most recent development comes from Timothy Williams having the game listed on his resume, the title is displayed as “upcoming” so we know this isn’t in reference to any of the PSP titles that came out. Timothy has worked on several films, such as Conan The Barbarian and many of Zack Snyder’s productions, like 300, SuckerPunchand Watchmen, as well as video games in the past. The score for the God of War series has always been a crucial part of the series. So in light of this being true, this aspect of God of War 4 is in experienced hands.
Couple this with the news that surfaced not long after God of War 3’s release regarding new positions being available on the God of War team and it’s looking pretty likely that we will see another game in that series, beyond the obvious logic of it being a huge franchise for Sony. The story of Kratos is a very detailed one to say the least, and there’s really only one timeframe left to fill in, so it will be interesting to see how this develops whenever we finally see God of War 4. Who knows, maybe it will be on the Playstation 4, or to get even crazier, the Vita!
As inevitable as the Reapers return from their 50,000 year sleep, so comes the pre-ordained pre-order bonus items for Mass Effect 3. As we all surmised, there are retailer-specific bonuses as well.
Xbox Live won’t let your avatar have a gun, but as of today you can get your virtual self inked with your choice of twenty three different tattoos. One can only hope that nipple rings and tongue-studs hit the market in the near future as well.
An old patent for a version of the console we now know as the Xbox 360 was discovered by tomsguide.com recently about a year after the release of the console in 2005. This patent seems to hint that Microsoft originally was looking at DVR capabilities for the 360, but ultimately scrapped them.
Microsoft has always been ahead of the game when it comes to streaming content, whether live TV or movies, but this newly unearthed piece of video game history unveils their plans to allow owners of their console to record live television WHILE they were playing a game, watching a video, or even when their console was powered off.
