Gamers will be able to play as the vigilante Red Hood in a number of Batman: Arkham Knight DLC story missions when the game arrives in 2015, thanks to an exclusive pre-order bonus from GameStop. This new content is in addition to the Harley Quinn DLC and exclusive poster already on offer for GameStop customers that pre-order the game.

Red Hood was originally introduced as the leader of a criminal gang, but he became known as the Joker after coming into contact with toxic chemicals that disfigured him. The version of the character that we see here in Arkham Knight has more in common with Jason Todd, who was once Robin, then the villain Hush, before assuming the mantle of Red Hood.

As an antihero who fights for justice, Red Hood wants to cleanse Gotham City of corruption. The problem for Batman is, he does it by any means necessary, killing criminals (and anyone else who gets in his way) without a second thought.

The previous games in the Arkham series have seen their fair share of downloadable content, and it seems that Arkham Knight is no exception. We had a chance to play the game at this year’s E3; take a look at our hands-on preview.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be released sometime in 2015 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The fastest ways to gain XP in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

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.

Halo 2 multiplayer maps are making a return for 20th anniversary

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

Halo Studios (the new name for 343 Industries) announced Monday that the seven maps will be featured in a playlist called Delta Arena. The maps -- Ascension, Boulevard, Canopy, Conjurer, Inquisitor, Serenity, and Beaver Canyon -- have been recreated in Forge by community members, so they feature some nice visual upgrades, along with new names. 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.
