There’s been a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming Saints Row sequel but up until now there have been no actual gameplay videos.

Well, that’s all changed now as this developer commentary blows the lid on all the ridiculous stuff you can get upto in this over-the-top sandbox shooter.

Check out more than 10 minutes of gameplay video from Batman: Arkham City featuring the Catwoman, Two-Face, Riddler, and of course, Batman.

Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City is an action adventure that builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

It sends players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum-security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters, and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe.

These include the likes of The Joker, Two-Face, Catwoman, and many more. Batman: Arkham City also adds a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight. Batman: Arkham City will be playable for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii U.

Korean ratings board suggests monochromatic Summer of Arcade platformer making the jump to Sony’s console.

Last year’s Xbox Live Summer of Arcade standout Limbo might be headed for a new destination, as Game Set Watch has spotted a Korean Game Rating Board listing for Danish developer Playdead’s debut downloadable game on the PlayStation 3.

A 2D platformer, Limbo put players in the shoes of a small child who must find his way through a black-and-white world filled with puzzles and dangerous, often deadly obstacles. The game won critical acclaim upon release, which was followed by a small avalanche of award nominations that yielded multiple Interactive Achievement Awards and a Game Developers Choice Award.

This would not be the first time a Summer of Arcade hit’s PS3 migration has been leaked by a foreign ratings board. The German rating body Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK) leaked word of Braid’s PS3 port in August of 2009. The time-manipulating 2D platformer launched on Sony’s downloadable service three months later.

Ubisoft’s Chicago-based survival game given classification by Down Under ratings group; publisher mum on title.

Despite Ubisoft only sharing a few details on the project since it was first announced at the 2008 Electronic Entertainment Expo, survival game I Am Alive appears to be just that…alive.

The Australian Government’s Office of Film and Literature Classification board has added a listing in its classification database for Ubisoft’s I Am Alive. The game was rated yesterday, June 28, and received an MA 15+ classification for strong violence.

As of press time, I Am Alive has not yet been rated by the United States’ Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB), and Ubisoft has not responded to GameSpot’s request for comment or clarification on the matter.

The last official word concerning I Am Alive came in 2009, when Ubisoft announced that development duties on the game had shifted from Paris-based Darkworks to Ubisoft Shanghai, in China.

I Am Alive is expected to arrive sometime in the future for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Little is known about the title, though it will apparently be a survival horror game set in an earthquake-ravaged Chicago. For more on the title, check out its debut trailer, embedded below.

Captain America: Super Soldier is a third person action adventure set during World War II.

The First Templar draws you in with interesting characters and rhythmic combat, but technical foibles can lessen your fun.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus drank from a cup. Such a commonplace action may seem trivial, but it transformed an ordinary chalice into the Holy Grail. This sacred object has fueled the desire of countless historians through the years and has wormed its way into just as many fictional tellings of its supposed powers.

The First Templar uses the unimaginable delights promised by the Holy Grail to push you through this action-focused role-playing game. The Knights Templar, sworn protectors of this coveted prize, prove they are as susceptible to temptation as every other person, and though the story provides enough twists to stay interesting, it’s the varied gameplay and pleasant visuals that make this a journey worth taking. A dearth of items means you’re stuck with only a few weapons and outfits for the whole game, and spotty collision detection can hound your progress at times.

But The First Templar rises above these problems to create an enjoyable adventure through the turbulent 13th century.

Valve president and cofounder Gabe Newell tells Games for Change Festival audience that the recently released platformer has already gone triple platinum.

Earlier this week, the
Games for Change Festival kicked off with
a keynote address from former Vice President Al Gore. Today, the New York-based event was the scene of a speech from another executive–Gabe Newell, president and cofounder of Valve Corporation.

According to gaming blog Joystiq, Newell used his speech to announce a major sales milestone for the critical darling Portal 2. Since its launch on April 19, the game has “sold” 3 million units, Newell reportedly said. He did not specify whether that figure referred to sold-in (that is, shipped) copies or represented games sold through to consumers.

Newell didn’t say whether the figure included sales on Steam, Valve’s online distribution platform for the PC and Mac. He also declined to clarify whether that figure included cumulative sales on all the platforms Portal 2 was released on–the PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

As of press time, Valve reps had offered no official confirmation of Newell’s comments.

Portal 2 has reached its sales milestone far faster than its predecessor, Portal. On the day its sequel launched,
Valve confirmed to GameSpot that the original game had sold over 4 million units since its launch in October 2007. That figure did not include Steam sales of Portal, but it did include sales of the compilation The Orange Box, which included Portal, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, and the latter shooter’s first two expansions.

This trailer for The Cursed Crusade serves up slices of the protagonists’ stirring journey for salvation against the backdrop of the doomed Fourth Crusade, accompanied by a generous portion of limb-severing, bone-crushing combat.
