Batman cracks skulls in this new Arkham City gameplay trailer

By

Batman really isn’t a guy you want to trifle with. If you got into an argument with him over a parking spot, it would probably be best to just let him have it. And if you like to wander around the streets of Gotham with a weapon, you should probably double check your health care to make sure you are covered for having your head kicked in by a bat-boot.

The original Batman: Arkham Asylum was a breakout hit, and the sequel is among the most eagerly anticipated games of the year. The upcoming game takes place about a year after Batman cleared out Arkham Asylum, and kinda destroyed it in the process. The inmates of the asylum have been placed with inmates from the maximum security prison, Blackgate, in an area of Gotham City that has been quarantined and dubbed, Arkham City. The prisoners are allowed to go on and do their thing as long as they don’t attempt escape, but when Catwoman is captured by Two-Face and threatened with execution, Batman moves in.

Kill Order gameplay in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Ever since Modern Warfare, Call of Duty fans have been obsessed with finding every tip and trick they can to level up faster. Now that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has arrived with a refreshed Prestige system, the drive to grind levels is again at an all-time high. While everything you do does earn you XP, they are not all created equal. Just like picking your Wildcards or Perks, earning XP as fast as possible takes a bit of thought and planning. If there's a piece of equipment you have your eye on at a high level, or just want to grind through some Prestige ranks as fast as possible, here are the fastest ways to grind XP in Black Ops 6.
Do your dailies

We'll get the most obvious tip out of the way first. Daily challenges are back and work just as they always have. Every 24 hours you will be given a handful of small optional tasks to complete for a heap of bonus XP. These can be things like getting Scorestreak kills, getting Point Blank Kills, and getting kills with a specific weapon type. Most daily challenges are worth 2,500 XP, which is already a nice bonus, but there is also a fourth one that can be worth between 3,000 and 5,000 additional XP. Each day you log on, you should prioritize your daily challenges.

For the 20th anniversary of Halo 2, Xbox is releasing many of the game's multiplayer maps in Halo Infinite on November 5.

For example, Beaver Canyon will be listed in the playlist as Beaver Creek. The developers have also tweaked the gameplay so it feels more like Halo 2, with higher jumps and friendly player collision, and added a new starting weapon: the MA5K Avenger.
