Ever-ready to cut through
critical bias and drummed-up presale data, Raptr has released its
Raptr Report for 2011, with data on which games commanded the most
player attention. The report breaks the year's releases down into
categories, calculating total playtime by Raptr's 10+ million users
over launch month, per-player launch-week playtime and launch-month
session length. There's a few surprises in there, but the list's two
standouts are both November releases...

Sony's dragon-themed aerial combat game, Lair, has become the first PS3 Blu-Ray game to allow full gameplay on the PSP via Remote Connection.
Remote Connection is a feature built into the PSP and PS3 that allows you to access your PS3 via the handheld - but it hasn't previously allowed you to play PS3 games remotely, only access to your stored music and video.
The main reason for the restriction, we expect, was because Remote Play requires the PS3 to stream the video and sound

It's a bit early to start proclaiming that "Microsoft wins Japan!" or the like (though that was our knee-jerk headline of choice) but we're still gobsmacked at the news that Halo 3 has taken first place in last week's Japanese sales charts, beating a Pokemon DS game into the bargain.
Bungie's 360-powered threequel managed to shift 59,000 copies in Japan, four thousand more than Pokemon's Mysterious Dungeon: Toki on Nintendo DS. And this in a land where FPS games traditionally fail
"I would say without hesitation that our quality is going to be up this year versus the prior year," Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said in a Tuesday earnings call.
Riccitiello has made it a very public priority to up the quality of EA's titles. A recent review score average of EA's titles was 77 percent, but Riccitiello said at an analyst meeting in February that he wants EA to exceed 80 percent by fiscal 2011.

We're still 99 percent in the dark where LEGO Batman is concerned, but first artwork released suggests that the Dark Knight's sidekick Robin will be appearing alongside Bats in the game.
Look at the art - how cool is that?
What's currently confirmed about LEGO Batman is that a) it's being developed by LEGO Star Wars developers Traveller's Tales, b) is heading to multiple platforms and c) is due out in 2008. We can't wait. Seriously.
And we'll add a d), e) and the rest of the alphabet as soon
Traveller's Tales latest LEGO game, LEGO Batman, is due to release in 2008 according to a Variety report.
The game is the result of a licensing deal struck between LEGO and Warner Bros., with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment financing development of the project. No further details are available at this time, other than that LEGO Batman will be multiplatform - knock us down with a Batarang.
With Traveller's Tales delivering the goods with LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Batman should be a Dark
If LEGO games had voiceovers, we'd be too afraid of hearing Schwarzenegger's brutally awful dialogue to actually play LEGO Batman after seeing these new screens.
And if it were any other game, we'd be complaining about the lack of real-time lighting and bump-mapped textures, but the LEGO games are so charming that it doesn't matter.
LEGO Indiana Jones is the game everyone's talking about at the moment because

Details on the storyline for the LEGO Batman game along with info on playable characters has materialised in the wake of the first teaser trailer hitting the 'net.
Obviously you slip into the Caped Crusader's boots - and sidekick Robin's - and crime-bust in what we're promised is an "interactive" LEGO Gotham City (whatever that means), but Warner Bros. has whispered in our shell-like ears that players will additionally get to control villains in the

There's no reason whatsoever that Lego Batman shouldn't be quality, considering it's coming from Lego Star Wars crew Traveller's Tales. New screenshots have been

The first official teaser trailer has appeared online for LEGO Batman.
The second LEGO tie-in from the studio (and with LEGO Indiana Jones on the way) carries the same old PR tag-line, with TT hoping to take both franchises "and make something unique."
Well Star Wars wasn't all that original, but it was certainly bloody good fun (and you can get the missus to play it as well).
So far we know pretty much bugger all about Batman, but we reckon it's safe to assume Robin, The Joker
