As we've seen numerous times before, videogames based on comic books are patchy at best. It's all well and good letting the player take control of a much-loved character, but the damage that can be dealt if the game is poor can leave fans feeling cheated. Dull plotlines, lifeless visuals and badly implemented gameplay mechanics can all but ruin what should be a thrilling adventure and sully a character's reputation. It's a tricky tightrope for developers to walk, so it's with gladness (and perhaps relief) that we can report that developer Rocksteady has created the finest comic book superhero game to date.

It's about that time again! Every August, the predictably late Scottish summer finally arrives and the biggest gaming event in Scotland, Edinburgh Interactive, rolls into town. Taking place Thursday 13th and Friday 14th at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, this year's free event will let gamers get to grips with some of the best new games and rub shoulders with some of the industry's biggest names. All you need to do to attend is visit your local Gamestation store or show up on the day for your free ticket. More information can be found at the official event homepage at here.
