Now you can go behind-the-scenes with the people behind the sound effects that made Batman: Arkham City such an immersive game. A new video showcases some of the techniques behind creating the sounds of every punch and kick, along with the background noise of the city. You can watch the team at work in the video after the break.

Summoner Wars has developed a huge following, especially after Heroscape stopped producing new units. The masters at Playdek have been working on a version for the iOS for a while, and they recently released a new preview trailer for Summoner Wars. I got an early look at GenCon last year, so I’m looking forward to seeing the final version in action.

If you can’t tell, I’m kinda excited about the Tom Clancy series of games.  Today, we have a trailer to share for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Alpha – the 25-minute prequel film to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier!   It’ll introduce the players in the game, give you a view into the storyline and location, and even has a hidden weapon unlock buried in the movie.   Check out the powerhouses behind this film:

It’s been a LONG time since we’ve had a good Hardboiled-esque Hong Kong cop drama game, and developer United Front Games agrees with us.   This morning we have a new video showing off some gameplay of the August-slated SquareEnix title, Sleeping Dogs.  Despite hitting in just a few months, we’ve not heard a ton on this one…or have we? Let’s read up before we take a peek at that video.

There is no doubt that Arkham City is an absolute triumph.   Rockstead Studios has another little DLC gem for us coming up entitled Harley Quinn’s Revenge Pack – the final chapter for the game, closing out the storyline with an additional 2 hours of gameplay popping back between Batman and Robin.  We’ve got a new trailer and some screenshots to share on the DLC but let’s chat about the Game of the Year Edition.

This morning we have a new Making Of video for the pirate-infested title Risen 2: Dark Waters.   It goes over the ins and outs of the dialog system (Over 150,000 spoken words in the game!) and how decisions are handled by the engine itself.  If you’ve never seen the systems behind the scenes, it’s a rare treat.   Along with the new video we also have a pretty extensive patch for the game, adding a pair of new features, a bevy of technical fixes, some balancing (Stealbeard’s hat can’t be sold anymore? OH NOES!) and some bug fixes for you people with 7.1 surround sound and SLI.  If you missed the boat (Ha! Puns!) on Risen 2: Dark Waters, let me catch ye up ta speed, matey!

(and by now, I mean the 15th.  Apparrently the folks at GameStop use different values when calculating “now”. )  From the looks of things, it pares things down to just the basic sniping portions to whet your appetite.    It is certainly a novel approach, giving gamers a taste of the actual game instead of some weak Facebook approximation.  Here is a bit about the development of this exclusive mode:

There’s a page in the new “Beginner’s Guide” for Warlock: Master of the Arcane describing the value of Mystic Portals for sending units into alternate realms to secure exotic cross-dimensional resources.  I bet that’s a quirk of Ardanian cartography they didn’t teach you in those Majesty games!  No, defending a single city in real time is a far cry from building a world-spanning empire from the ground up, but thankfully the publishers at Paradox Interactive have put together a handy .PDF with everything you’d need to know before jumping in to tomorrow’s big release.

We all love good game trailers, full of flashy jump-cuts, tightly choreographed action, and dramatic voice-overs designed to crack even the most hardened cynicism.  They don’t often teach you much about how the game plays however, and when you’re in the mood for a genre that doesn’t translate well into a tense 90-second commercial — a naval trading and piracy simulator, for example — sometimes learning how to play is the key to deciding whether or not you want to.
