With the release of Batman: Arkham Knight coming up in a little less than a month, we recently got the opportunity to play some more of the game. Here's all of our newest impressions and gameplay trailers for the upcoming Arkham series finale. Newest Features- Batman: Arkham Knight Tells "A Much More Personal Story" -- "The word 'Arkham' has come to represent an aesthetic and a philosophy," says Arkham Knight's marketing director, Dax Ginn. "Our games are very 'real'--not hyper-real, but there's a realism about the way the characters behave. There's a grittiness about the appearance of them. The connotations of the word 'Arkham' have moved away from a literal connection to Arkham Asylum. But we think about the word 'Arkham' as meaning more than just the geography of the place. It stands for an interpretation of gritty realism within the game world."
- Rocksteady Says Batman: Arkham Knight Is "The Biggest Game We've Ever Made" -- "What we don't want is for, while you're playing, to know more than what Batman knows in the game," Ginn explains. "Because then you don't feel like Batman--you actually feel like you, as a player, are smarter than Batman, which makes him feel like he's a bit of a dud. Which is totally the opposite of what we try and do with our games--we try to make you feel like you are Batman."

The role actor Andy Serkis will play in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens has finally been revealed, at least partially. The official Star Wars website today shared an image of Serkis in motion-capture gear for his character, someone named Supreme Leader Snoke. It appears this character will be entirely CGI, which isn't strange territory for Serkis, who played fully digital characters like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.  Whether or not Snoke is a good guy or a bad guy (or something in between) remains to be seen. But his stern facial expression and the fact that his name is prefaced by "Supreme Leader" makes you think he might be one of the movie's antagonists. Serkis previously confirmed that he did the voiceover for the first Force Awakens trailer. In this trailer, a voice we now know to be Supreme Leader Snoke said, "There has been an awakening … Have you felt it? The dark side. And the light…" The Force Awakens hits theaters on December 18, a couple weeks after DICE's Star Wars: Battlefront debuts on current-generation consoles and PC. What do you think about Serkis' character? Let us know in the comments below.

Atlus today revealed a number of new details about the latest continuation of the Persona 4 storyline, Persona 4: Dancing All Night, including the contents of a special edition and a release window for North America. Dancing All Night will be out for PlayStation Vita (and PS TV) in the United States and Canada this fall in two forms. There's the Launch Edition, priced at $50, and an $80 Disco Fever edition.  The latter consists of a two-CD soundtrack, a Persona 4-themed Vita pouch, two premium DLC outfit packs (including a bonus song), a Teddie keychain, and a collectible box (with custom disco ball art) that houses all of this. Buying the Disco Fever edition or preordering the standard edition (referred to as the Launch Edition) will also get you the Cover Band bonus. This consists of an exclusive decal skin for the Vita (the more recent Slim model), as well as 10 Vita wallpapers designed to match the decal.  Dancing All Night eschews the RPG format of Persona 4 in favor of--as the title suggests--that of a music game. Much like the Persona 4 Arena fighting game spinoffs, Dancing All Night remains a story-driven game. It features both new music and returning tracks from the past Persona 4 games. You can check out Atlus' full description of the Disco Fever edition below, as well as some new screenshots of the game in action. - Two Discs Chock Full of Persona 4 Music Remixes: Hear the Persona 4: Dancing All Night soundtrack in all its glory! The two-disc CD set is full of original classics including "Pursuing My True Self," and "Shadow World," new song arrangements including "Heartbeat, Heartbreak" and "Your Affection," remixes by artists including Lotus Juice, TK, and Yuu Miyake, and completely new songs specifically composed for P4D!
- Last Night a Vita Pouch Saved My Life: Protect your PS Vita in this custom P4D enameled pouch with a full color P4D design featuring Teddie in all his Elvis-esque jumpsuit glory on one side, and an embossed version of the P4D logo on the reverse. Not for sale in North America, the "Disco Fever" edition is the only way to get the exquisitely detailed pouch.
- Costume Change: Two sets of paid DLC outfits will come with the "Disco Fever" Edition for free -- Persona 3's Gekkoukan High School uniform set, and the summer break outfit set to dress up Chie, Kanji, Rise, Naoto, and the rest of the human (sorry, Teddie) Investigation Team! The song "Never More" is also included as a bonus playable song.
- All About that Bear: Never lose your keys or whatever else again with a golden Teddie keychain. Exclusive to North America, the gold (not real gold, of course) keychain comes embossed in the visage of all of Teddie's gloriousness, based on the belt buckle design on his P4D jumpsuit!
- The Whole Package: All the items will come in a large collectible box with custom disco ball art (based on the Japanese Crazy Value Pack version of P4D).

This post contains The Shawshank Redemption spoilers. The latest 8-Bit Cinema video from YouTube channel CineFix came online this week, this one presenting 1994's The Shawshank Redemption as a retro adventure game. Prison may be no fairytale world, but it does make a pretty decent setting for a point-and-click video game. Watch as the six-minute video re-tells the movie's story, beginning with Andy Dufresne's incarceration and leading up to his unlikely escape from the Maine penitentiary. Most of the major plot points in between are covered, including the rooftop beer scene, Tommy's tests, and Andy getting sent to solitary confinement for calling the warden "obtuse." There isn't much in the way of action, outside of a section where you must tunnel through the walls as fast as you can before the guards return. Instead, you go around talking to other inmates, collecting items, and giving the maggot you found in your food to Brooks so he can feed his bird. Would you play this game? Let us know in the comments below.

Non-combat MMO Wander--which allows you to play as a bird or a sentient tree, among other creatures--finally has a release date. The intriguing-looking game will be released on June 4 for PlayStation 4 and PC, writer and character designer Crystal Flinn announced today. A new trailer for Wander is also now available, revealing a new playable creature called Hira. She's a humanoid with gills and fins. Using her fins, she can swim and also use them as a Just Cause-style wingsuit. As you'll see in the trailer, Hira can also ride griffins and even jump from one griffin to another mid-flight. A new in-game communication system for Wander was also announced today. While players explore the world, they will find stones that teach them how to draw symbols. The DualShock 4's touchpad can then be used to communicate with other players. Hira is just one of Wander's playable characters. The full lineup is below. - Oren -- A walking, sentient tree (you begin the game as Oren)
- The Griffin -- A flying creature
- The Azertash -- A creature that can swim and breathe underwater
- Hira -- A humanoid with gills and fins
