 "New Batman: Arkham Origins trailer gives us our first look at gameplay")
WB has finally given us our first proper look at its upcoming new game in the Batman: Arkham franchise, dubbed Batman: Arkham Origins. The company has released a trailer for the game that gives us the first chance to listen to the new voice actors, namely Roger Craig Smith as Batman and Troy Baker as Joker. Check it out:
Roger Craig Smith seems to be doing a decent enough job as the Batman. His voice goes well with the younger version of Bats that we’ll be seeing in Arkham Origins. Troy Baker, who we earlier saw in Arkham City as a bunch of characters, including Harvey Dent and Robin, is tasked with filling in the big shoes left behind by Mark Hamill as The Joker. Baker also had a critically-acclaimed role as the protagonist of BioShock Infinite—Booker DeWitt.
Batman: Arkham Origins will feature a lot of foes from Batman’s rogue’s gallery, including Black Mask, Deathstroke, Bane, Penguin, Anarky and The Joker. The trailer also shows off Batman’s new toy—the remote claw. After firing at a target, it lets you continue the shot on to another target.

There is also the new Enhanced Detective Mode that is much more powerful than the Detective Mode of previous games. For example, Bats can start off detective mode to examine a corpse, which will then give him a brief idea of how that corpse came to be.
Batman: Arkham Origins will be hitting store shelves on October 25 and will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
