The game is still about six months away, but the PR folk at Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment are steadily releasing tantalizing morsels of information about the next installment in the Arkham Asylum series. It’s just a thinly veiled attempt to build an irresistible juggernaut of hype over the new Batman game, but hey, we’re glad to play along because we here at Player Affinity are as excited about this game as anyone else.

Last year Telltale announced that they were working on both a series of adventure games for the classic movie franchises Back to the Future and Jurassic Park. With the recent release of the first two episodes of the Back to the Future game, many people were left wondering when we would see Jurassic Park and how it would be different to Telltale’s other products.

Hector: Badge of Carnage “Episode 1: We Negotiate With Terrorists” was a particularly fun and hilarious point-and-click adventure game for the iPod that featured solid writing and a unique hand drawn art style.

trailer below clearly illustrates. The game was quite well received and
it’s well worth checking out on the Appstore.

Let’s get this straight right from the beginning; Baron Wittard is a hard game. When I say hard, I mean that I was stumped by the very first level. It’s a combination of point ‘n’ click adventure, with puzzle-solving, and only hardcore fans of both genres will want to take a look at Barron Wittard. This game will melt your brain if you aren’t heavily into hunting for hidden switches and trial & error logic puzzles.
