We already know that Killzone: Mercenary and Tearaway are set to be this year’s biggest PlayStation Vita games, but what of Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate?

Bricking it
Warner Bros has kicked off GamesCom in style, releasing a brand new cinematic trailer for, er, LEGO Lord of the Rings. Yes, the bricks are back in town once again.

News Watch This Bonkers Lollipop Chainsaw Launch Trailer
Super sweet
At one point in this Lollipop Chainsaw launch trailer, protagonist Juliet Starling cuts a UFO in half.

Fix your eyeballs on the video below for a...
