Review Batman: Arkham Origins (Wii U)
Same hero, less refined
Whenever a video game franchise moves from one developer to another during its lifetime, there tends to be a few raised eyebrows. There are definite examples of licenses that have significantly improved following the move from one studio to another, such as the console games in the Skylanders series jumping from Toys for Bob...

News New Batman: Arkham Origins DLC Arrives, Major Story-Based Content Coming in 2014
Holy DLC overload, Batman!
Batman: Arkham Origins on Wii U may have been lacking the all-new multiplayer mode and — in the opinion of some — be below the standards of the Rocksteady predecessors, but it's still a title with some happy fans. Beating on thugs while saying "I'm Batman" in a very deep voice is fun. The Wii U version has, to date,...
News Performance of Batman: Arkham Origins Wii U Version Compares Unfavourably to 360 and PS3
"It's hard to recommend the Wii U game at all"
Just recently we published our Batman: Arkham Origins review, and for multiple reasons we felt that it fell below the standards of its predecessors. We also suggested the visuals were "shaky", though tech-heads now have a full Digital Foundry face-off to consider for the Caped Crusader's latest...

Video Holy PR Hype! It's a 17 Minute Batman: Arkham Origins Gameplay Walkthrough
Batman does his usual bat-like stuff
Late last week the news that Batman: Arkham Origins and Blackgate are delayed on Wii U and 3DS in Europe made some Nintendo Life staffers roll their eyes so vigorously that medical attention was required. Of course, North American gamers don't appear to have such a delay, so Europeans will probably be told to...
News Batman: Arkham Origins and Blackgate Delayed in Europe
Only on Nintendo systems and PC, though
When it comes to the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins, its relationship with the Wii U has been rather frosty, which is appropriate as the Dark Knight will be beating on thugs in a Winter setting. Nintendo's system is missing out on the multiplayer mode — which itself is a first for the series — and it's...
About The Game
Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline set several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the first two critically acclaimed games of the franchise.
Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, players will meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships.

The previous two games were quite ingenious and fun, so this one could also have clever gameplay techniques.
Have never played the Arkham Series... But this looks Amazing think this will be my first title in the Series and as its a Pre Quil of sorts Sounds Good !!!!
It's not quite the radical expansion City was,
but I enjoyed my time with the game.
The Gothic Christmas atmosphere is pulled off phenomenally in spite of how large the world is and the characterization between Bruce and Alfred just makes my inner comic-book geek squee.
I've heard the WiiU version is the most stable one by a good margin.
This game brings you back to what made Arkham Asylum good. It keeps some of the city stuff to appease series fans, but returns to the interactive relationship with E Nigma. Overall the game plays nicely and I am enjoying it. I thought Arkham City was a strong departure from what made Asylum good. Origins has a rough and tough story.
Such an enormous game! I played well over 30 hours and am not even close to 50% through the game! And I beat the main story in about 5 hours, so I have been cracking away at the large percentage of the game for over 25 hours and stil not at 50%. This is one of the main reasons I love these games! So much to do!
Need help beating Deathstroke ? Any clues
