The so-called “Arrow Pack” won’t only include Oliver Queen; it’ll also include Diggle, Felicity Smoak, Helena Bertinelli (Huntress), Slade Wilson, Roy Harper, Sarah Lance (Black Canary), and Malcom Merlyn. Additionally, it’ll include a whole level exclusive to the DLC pack, as well as some brand-new vehicles.
LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham launches in exactly a month from today, on November 11th, 2014. For more on the game between now and then, read our most recent preview, gander at some screenshots and videos, and, for some context, browse our complete history of Batman video games.
]]>The new characters revealed at the panel are: Condiment King, Darkest Knight Batman, Green Loontern, Man Bat, and Solar Suit Superman.
The new characters already revealed and playable on the show floor are: Detective Chimp, Mat Hatter, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Kalibak, Polka Dot Man, and Music Meister.
Additionally, Conan O’Brien – yes, that Conan O’Brien – will make an appearance in the game as a sort of guide, showing up every so often to help you on your way. Strange, but true!
]]>2K Support created a dedicated status page for NBA 2K15, and currently the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions all read the same two error messages. The first states that the MyTeam service is unavailable, while the second warns of "temporary service interruptions."
Meanwhile, its Twitter account is giving auto-replies to service tickets, with complaints ranging from invalid codes to lost in-game currency. It recently acknowledged trouble with the international redemption site, but the support system appears to be overwhelmed as users complain about long wait times and repeated submissions.
]]>The responses we got were as varied as the game's cast (but obviously Claptrap is on the list).
@IGN Claptrap. I would go to his birthday party.

]]>"As you might remember, it leaked from LucasArts that we were working on a trilogy compilation, and that was actually for the
Xbox," he said. Containing Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, and Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, this trilogy was meant to be one massive collection of all three games, all honed and re-worked to run on then-modern consoles. The team had completed nearly fifty percent of this trilogy when a reportedly rocky and unstable environment at LucasArts led to its early cancellation.
]]>Destiny players who haven't been able to jump into the Crucible will be able to do so, as almost all Gold benefits, including multiplayer, will be unlocked. Microsoft notes that Deals of the Week, as well as Games with Gold, aren't included with the free weekend.
It may also be a good time to revisit Halo 4, as 343 released a patch today that has fixed a handful of broken achievements.

]]>New areas for Destiny’s upcoming expansion The Dark Below have potentially been uncovered thanks to a bug and endeavouring players.
The new zone for The Dark Below expansion, due in December, was uncovered and posted on YouTube by the se7ensins collective. It was achieved by riding a Sparrow around in an area that is only accessible through the final story mission. Those interested can check out the spoiler heavy video on YouTube.
A bug surfaced late last month where some players reported a number of visible but inaccessible zones on the in-game map. Revealing new story missions, strikes, raids and Crucible content, the leaked content referred to planned expansions The Dark Below and House of Wolves.
]]>TMZ reported late last year that Lohan was prepping a lawsuit over a minor character in GTA V she believes uses her likeness. The suit was later confirmed in July this year. Filed in publisher Rockstar’s hometown of New York City, the original suit claims that GTA V "used her image and created a character based on her without her permission" and cites in-game character Lacey Jonas as an "unequivocal" reference to Lohan.
]]>Mir Kubinov, a chain of LEGO franchise stores in Russia, has given the world its first glimpse of what's in store for the forthcoming LEGO Minecraft sets.
According the Mir Kubinov online store, there are six new sets due for release in November. One of the sets features an underground mining complex, complete with minecart, rail track, and of course, a leaking hole with water pouring through.
There's also a crafting kit pack, which instead of creating set pieces, allows builders to design whatever they want out of a selection of different pieces, be it a home above ground, a cave below, or a hideout on top of gravel.
]]>Posting on the developer's forums, Bungie's community manager, "Deej," asked players the following:
"Tell me about your experience. Please stay on topic. Were you detecting an advantage attributed to your more powerful gear and weapons? Did the experience feel different than standard Crucible combat? Talk to me, Guardians."
Many players responded that, even though in Iron Banner, high-level gear is supposed to give you a distinct advantage, they could not feel a difference from standard multiplayer. Two of IGN's Destiny experts, Alfredo and Destin, discuss their thoughts in the video below.
]]>Data provided by From Software reveals that the Fume Knight from Crown of the Old Iron King is statistically the most punishing boss in Dark Souls 2, defeating challengers almost 93 percent of the time. The Fume Knight's toughness is consistent with a general increase in boss difficulty after Dark Souls 2's main campaign. Of the five bosses most likely to defeat players on a per-encounter basis, four originate in the Lost Crowns DLC: Elana the Squalid Queen, Sir Alonne, Sinh the Slumbering Dragon, and the dreaded Fume Knight.
]]>The live event will be hosted on Google Plus and will begin at 7pm Central Time (midnight GMT). The guests scheduled to join the Hangout are:

Natalie Burke, a character technical artist at Bungie, released a 60-page document that gives a behind-the-scenes look at how "Bungie's Hair Salon" was used to create Destiny's futuristic hairdos. It touches on art direction goals, differences in platforms, animation, hair in cinematics, and much more.
The language and screenshots are technically dense, like something that would be shown off to a room of developers at GDC, but it's still neat to take a quick look behind the curtain.
We combed through it all and found some of the most interesting images, which you can see above. But feel free to look at the whole PDF, found by Kill Screen, as well.
