So it seems that after release and DLC, Crystal Dynamics wasn’t quite done with their Tomb Raider game yet, but the only thing left to do was to look back and pick the top ten moments from their own game. What better way to showcase these moments, than a trailer to show exactly what they love about them.

Narrated by Game Director Daniel Bisson, the trailer of moments is more than just a simple top ten, as he explains why these moments were so important to the team and for Lara as well. Obviously this contains spoilers for those that haven’t played the game yet, so if you’re one that still plans on checking it out, it might be best to pass on by.

Players that aren’t worried about spoilers, and want to see how their own personal top moments compare with those on the actual development team, can watch the trailer embedded below. Tomb Raider was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Check out our review for the game here.

After the announce of the new prequel for the Batman: Arkham series, players haven’t had much to really see of Batman: Arkham Origins. But, now it seems WB Games Montréal and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment want to show off more of the Arkham Universe when Batman was just getting his start with this set of five screenshots.

Showing off villains like Black Mask (above) and Deathstroke (previously seen on the back cover of GameInformer), the screenshots show off the not-quite-yet Dark Knight in a bit more detail than the cover shot. Batman also seems to still be at it holding cronies upside-down, stalking the shadows, and going toe-to-toe with supervillains. The only question the screenshots really leave is, will Batman be at odds with the Police at this point in his career leaving him to remain unseen or is he simply about to meet up with his fellow do-gooders?

Players can check out the full-sized screenshots by clicking on the images in the gallery below. Batman: Arkham Origins will be releasing October 25th, 2013 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC.

Kodansha USA have now confirmed through their official Tumblr page what many had speculated for quite some time now, they will no longer be rescuing any more Del Rey manga titles. Kodansha USA took over publishing under Random House’s manga inprint replacing Del Rey in 2010.

After the take over, Kodansha USA rescued popular Del Rey titles such as Air Gear, Fairy Tail, Genshiken, Negima, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, Shugo Chara!, and The Wallflower. It seems now that the time for rescuing titles has long passed.

Kodansha USA look to be setting out to make their own mark, already having revived the Sailor Moon manga series in the West, a move which received wide-spread acclaim. Unfortunately a number of Del Rey titles will not be rescued for further release under the Kodansha USA brand, but that doesn’t mean that other companies can’t reach out to make the save should they choose to.

Imagine-nation, the anime/manga/game spotlight show, recently had an episode where they featured the the Spring Anime release Attack on Titan. They discussed a great deal of things like; the context of the series, it in relation to the Japanese industry of Anime and Manga, a look at the series from behind the scenes and more.

The two videos below focus on the behind the scene segments of the show and really give a good insight into Attack on Titan. It also shows the amount of work and dedication that goes into making a series of this caliber.

The only thing you must keep in mind before watching either (or both) of these two videos is that some of the stuff that will be spoken of or shown will most likely be spoilers for the Anime so view at your own risk, guys and girls.

Last week Bandai released a video showing off the newest item in it’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure line. It’s called the Ora Ora Border T and with a little help from a smart phone app you could be the owner of your very own Star Platinum Stand!

Pretty sweet designs huh?
Pretty sweet designs huh?

The shirt and app combination uses AR Technology (much like what Nintendo does with the 3DS) to give off the illusion of activating a Stand like the characters in the series. When you shoot video of the shirt through Bandai’s Nextpets app (iOS and Android) the virtual star platinum appears and proceeds to yell his signature “Ora Ora Ora” shout. This can all be seen in the video.

Last month Bandai’s Beams Online shop began selling the shirt in black-on-white and purple-on-black for 5,040 yen or about US$50. A brand new colour, green-on-black, will go on sale this month.

Check out both the Gallery section and the Featured Video section below to fill your “Ora Ora Ora” needs and don’t forget to drop us a line in our comments section.
