Actress Stana Katic of the hit TV series, "Castle", goes virtual in her first video game. And what a game she chose. One of the big games of 2011 with sales of over 2 million copies in its first week, Rocksteady Games' Batman: Arkham City features a huge cast of characters. Katic talks about bringing the good girl/bad girl Talia al Ghul to virtual life in the new Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment game in the video interview below.

With Batman: Arkham City flying off store shelves, Dark Knight fans can get a pretty cool toy that even the Caped Crusader would envy. Controller and accessory maker Power A has launched an officially licensed Batarang controller in conjunction with the release of Batman: Arkham City. POWER A partnered with Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP), Batman: Arkham City publisher Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developer Rocksteady Studios to create a controller worthy of the DC Comics' core Batman property. Fans will appreciate the themed design elements on these high-performance, one-of-a-kind collectible controllers for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

One of the most anticipated games of 2011 also happens to be one of the best-looking Unreal Engine 3 games yet created. Rocksteady Studios has upped the vigilante with its sequel to the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum by delivering an open world game that offers a Gotham City experience like no other. And once again, Rocksteady Studios has crafted its new game using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 technology.

The original Mortal Kombat movie wasn't half bad.  Director Paul Anderson convincingly carried the tone from the video game over into an effective PG-13 rated product, and despite a few cheesy moments ("GORO!  YEAHHHH!"), it turned out to be one of the better video game movies to date.  But then New Line Cinema had to piss all over it by releasing Mortal Kombat Annihilation, a jumbled sequel with too many characters, a lame story, and the kind of special effects you'd see from a student production facility.  But luckily, it looks like the next Mortal Kombat film will be up to form...if it's ever released, anyway.

Whether it was the hype behind the Mortal Kombat: Legacy digital series, the Freddy Krueger DLC, or the quality of the gameplay, the latest iteration of the legendary fighting franchise has sold over 3 million units worldwide, making it the highest-selling fighting game this year. Ed Boon, the creator of the bloody fighting game, talks about the transmedia landscape of the franchise in the exclusive video interview below.
