The last time Infinite Crisis offered up video profiles the focus was on two male Champions, so this week it seems that Turbine and Warner Bros. wanted to give the spotlight to a pair of fan favorite feminine Champions, namely Gaslight Catwoman and Poison Ivy. Players wanting to get a jump on understanding the fundamentals of these two can watch the videos below to see what they’ll be bringing to the game.
Gaslight Catwoman hails from the same universe as Gaslight Batman, a steampunk Victorian Era, but instead of a background in burglary this Selina Kyle was trained by the League of Assassins. Unlike her co-universe-compatriot Batman’s focus on Sonic Pistols, Catwoman utilizes melee with steam-powered claws to give her some extra power. Built more for stealth and low health targets, Gaslight Catwoman excels at tracking down those enemies fleeing combat and taking them down for the count.
Poison Ivy is from the Prime DC Universe gaining her flora based powers from a biology experiment gone wrong, infusing her with plant DNA and twisting her to side with plants above all else. Using her plant powers Poison Ivy can be a terror on the battlefield, able to strike from a distance and provide areas that heal allies and hurt enemies. Even worse for those going against her, the thick plant life will also slow them down, making them easy prey.
Players interested in getting a chance to see how these and the other characters play for themselves can sign up to join the closed beta set to start May 8th by checking out the website HERE.

Black and white getting a little boring? Astro Gaming announced the release of the new A40 Neon Series today with a flashy trailer in the style of an old cheesy kung-fu action flick. The Neon Series uses the Astro A40 2013 Edition design and is available in neon pink, yellow, orange, and red.
The Astro A40 Pro Gaming Headset features an updated Quick Disconnect cabling system that plugs in at the headset for durability, a media controller cable for use with smartphones, a removable boom mic, and custom speaker tags to personalize the A40. Astro have re-tuned the drivers on the A40 2013 model to provide better bass and less distortion at high volume compared to the older 2011 model.
Publisher Anuman has previously shown off the heroine Ellen Cross for the newest Dracula game under the Microids label, Dracula 4: The Shadow of the Dragon, but this time around they’ve gone ahead and released an entire trailer. Focusing on the events that lead Ellen from Budapest to eventually getting face to face with legendary vamp, the trailer is supplemented with new screenshots from Budapest as well.
Most people will generally think things are looking bad when paintings thought to be lost at sea start to pop up at auctions in remote countries, but almost anyone will know it’s going bad when the seller winds up looking like the guy up top. Ellen doesn’t seem one to shy away from a mystery though, so where ever the clues lead her, she’ll more than likely follow.
Players wanting to get the intel on the twists and turns Ellen will be having to confront in Budapest and beyond can watch the trailer embedded below and can check out the full sized screenshots by clicking on the images in the gallery below that. Dracula 4: The Shadow of the Dragon will be releasing Summer 2013 for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Android.
As the major event this weekend is the wide release of Iron Man 3, Gazillion Entertainment is taking the time to cross-promote the movie by holding an open beta for this weekend for the upcoming Marvel Heroes. But of course, it wouldn’t really be a cross promotion without major ties to the movie itself, which is why they have released a trailer to show off all the options that Iron Man fans can choose from.
The trailer, titled “Specialty Suits”, shows off some of the different suits that players that choose Iron Man can pick from including those from the comics and apparently even more from the movies. Featuring plenty of different armor suits each with different abilities, especially all those suits produced in the gap from The Avengers to Iron Man 3, the trailer does a great job showing off the versatility that makes Iron Man so unique.
Players can watch the trailer embedded below to see all the different Marks and what they do, while those interested in checking out the open beta for Marvel Heroes can get in this weekend by registering at their website HERE.
The fast-paced demo will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network on May 8 and will let players jump online with up to four players or via split-screen.
In the upcoming demo, players will assume the roles of special agents Dalton Brooks, Izzy Sinclair, Jacob Kimble, and Naya Deveraux as they set out to protect mankind from a deadly alien energy source known as the Fuse. Raven, a rogue paramilitary organization, has taken it and the consequences could be devastating. Characters will have their own unique “Xenotech” weapons and special skills that grant a unique play experience for each.
Fuse will mark Insomniac Games’ (makers of the acclaimed Ratchet & Clank, Spyro, and Resistanceseries) first multiplatform release when it drops on store shelves on May 28 in North America, May 30 in Australia and Europe, and May 31 in New Zealand.
