Releasing today in South Africa, Europe and the UK: Become The Batman... and a Sims Pet!

Just when you thought it was safe to start playing games in your back catalogue, along comes this week’s slate of releases to cause your already-packed shelf to collapse under the weight of another torrent of shiny titles.

This is the best time of year to get stuck into some quality console time, everybody, but not such a great time for your pockets, unfortunately.

If there’s one game you need to have a closer look at this week, it’s Batman: Arkham City. The game world is enormous, there’s tons to do and see, the visuals are spectacular and the story is as intense and intriguing as you like - perfect for Batman fans and thrill-seekers alike!

If moody and atmospheric action adventures games aren’t your thing, or if you’re looking for something to play with your friends, then you can hardly do any better than Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One on PlayStation 3 with it’s insanely awesome four-player co-operative action from the masters of character-based games, Insomniac. Don’t overlook this one!

Of course, once you’re done playing together in Ratchet & Clank, you can always invite more friends over to groove in the privacy of your own living room with Dance Central 2 for Kinect. We really enjoyed the first game, and now with a simultaneous two-player option, Dance Central 2 is a great chance to learn some moves with a friend!

Other highlights of this week’s releases include The Adventures of TinTin on all platforms (read our preview over here) and The Sims 3: Pets for PC and consoles - find out what else is available today in South Africa, the UK and Europe below:
