Batman: Arkham City
Batman: Arkham City is the upcoming sequel to action-adventure stealth video game Batman: Arkham Asylum. Players will once again take on the role of Batman, making his way around Arkham City to complete mission objectives. The original title was a rather surprising hit, both with comic fans and gamer audiences alike. If this sequel is able to live up to expectations, we'll have alot more sneaking and kicking to look forward to.

Taking the action to the city of New York, Crysis 2 looks to set a new graphical standard on consoles while also pushing the technological boundaries on PC.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (previously Deus Ex 3) will be the third game in the first-person role-playing game Deus Ex series, and a prequel to the original game. Human Revolution is primarily a first person game, but will feature a contextual third person viewpoint when using the cover system, certain augmentations, or closeup instant-kill moves. Given the classic cult PC following that the original game has, it will be interesting to see what the new developer and publisher will be able to do with the franchise.
