Batman: Arkham City Big Head Mode!

Thanks to a discovery by SuperSwiftyOne of the Youtubes, fans and players of Batman: Arkham City can now engage in Big Head Mode, wherein Batman and all other character models take on a fun super-deformed look. To activate this mode, just hold down the left and right triggers while rotating the left analog counter clockwise - and the right clockwise. Good times!

Early Look at Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime Design

Game Informer has posted a video from High Moon Studios showing off the early stages of Optimus Prime's new design for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The "game footage" shown is pre-alpha, so if you're unhappy with the look thus far, don't fret! You can check out the video HERE, or simply take a gander at the screen grab below:

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Concept Art

The screencap above can be found in the High Moon Studios Tour video recently posted on Game Informer's website. The image clearly shows concept art or design work for new characters appearing in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, the 2012 followup to last year's War For Cybertron. The character on the left of the image is undoubtedly Wheeljack - but the bot beside him is a little harder to determine. It might be Sunstreaker, but there's always the chance of Drag Strip or Swindle as well. Either way, we'll find out soon enough. In the mean time, it's great to have already gotten a tiny peak at some of the upcoming game's new characters. Stay tuned for more.

Thanks to TFW2005 for the screencap.

The Dark Knight Returns and Animated Series skins are probably my favorite. What about yours?
