Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight Will Let You Don Batman's Wild Samurai Armor

Wed, 04/15/2026 - 05:00

One of the hallmarks of any Lego Batman game is the Caped Crusader's wardrobe. GameSpot can exclusively reveal that in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the hero will be suiting up in the shinobi threads that he donned for the 2018 anime movie Batman Ninja.

While Batman started his adventure in feudal Japan equipped with his modern-day crimefighting outfit, it wasn't long before the battles took a toll on his equipment and he decided to embrace his new role as the Bat Clan's prophesied hero. It's a weird film, but one that did give us a Batman dressed for war in a suit of custom-made samurai armor and a Kabuto cowl shaped like his signature cowl. The suit itself would change once more, taking on a ninja-inspired look for Batman's climactic battle against the Joker.

According to the Wayne-Tech stats, the Batman Ninja outfit is average when it comes to nostalgia--the anime film isn't even 10 years old yet--but in the fields of aura-farming and intimidation? It scores really high.

How To Heal In Windrose: All Healing Items Explained

Wed, 04/15/2026 - 04:21

On the surface, Windrose might not look like an overly challenging survival game. You're a pirate who crash-lands on an unknown island, and all you have to deal with for the first several hours are dodo birds, boars, and some drowned zombie-type enemies. However, as you'll quickly learn, combat in Windrose can be extremely difficult, as enemies can deal massive amounts of damage to you in just a couple of hits.

To avoid seeing the death screen and having to run miles to retrieve your lost items, you want to ensure you're stocked up with as many healing items as possible. You can see a full breakdown of every way to heal in Windrose in the guide below.

Best ways to heal in Windrose

Unfortunately, at the start of Windrose, your options for healing items are pretty limited. In fact, the game doesn't give you any way to heal yourself for free off the bat, as you need to craft and loot ways to restore your HP for the most part.

Marathon Pushes Players To Be More Friendly In New Update

Wed, 04/15/2026 - 03:30

Marathon is getting a mid-season update today, and Bungie is placing an emphasis on teamwork while offering new players incentives to join the game. The biggest change is the CyberAcme Runner Reinforcement Initiative, which gives solo players and teams rewards if they finish objectives and extract themselves at the same time.

As laid out by Bungie, C.A.R.R.I. rewards will be paid out as CyberAcme Commendations, which can be used to purchase weapons, Reputation Packs, and other items from the C.A.R.R.I. Armory. However, the C.A.R.R.I. Armory will only be available through the end of Season 1.

To encourage more collaboration among players, Bungie is introducing a new feature called Stay Together that will allow runners who exfill together at the end of a run to keep the team-up going as a new crew. Players can also revive a downed enemy with the new Mercy Kit consumable with an eye towards turning them into an ally. However, Mercy Kits won't work on members of a player's crew or on the player themselves.

This First Look At Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Prequel The Lost Horadrim Has Us Eager For More

Wed, 04/15/2026 - 03:10

Later this month, Diablo IV's ongoing Hatred Saga comes to a close with the release of its second expansion, Lord of Hatred. Set in the ancient island region of Skovos, the upcoming DLC digs deep into Diablo's past while setting a course for the series' future, though what that future might look like remains unclear. What is clear, however, is this final showdown between you, Lilith, and the Lord of Hatred himself, Mephisto, will forever change the shape of Sanctuary.

But before we delve into the series' future, Blizzard has opted to give us a deeper look into Sanctuary's past with the upcoming novel The Lost Horadrim. Written by Matthew J. Kirby, The Lost Horadrim follows Diablo IV fan-favorite character Lorath and Captain Adreona of the Amazons as the pair embark on an adventure across Skovos. With its promises of intense political conflict, lots of lore and plenty of mythical monsters and undead abominations to slay, The Lost Horadrim has been high up on our list of most anticipated reads for quite some time. Fortunately for us, we recently got the opportunity to read an excerpt from the book ahead of its release--and now, we get the chance to share a snippet of Kirby's atmospheric writing it with you.

To set the scene for readers, the author provided the following context: Donan journeys across Skovos in search of information regarding a lost expedition of Horadrim. But the seer he encounters may tell him more about himself than his brethren.

Amazon's 3 For $33 Deal Makes 4K Blu-Rays A Bargain Again

Wed, 04/15/2026 - 02:57

Nothing beats a physical collection of movies for your home cinema--especially with streaming services being unpredictable--and Amazon is currently offering a great deal on 4K films. For just $33, you can stock up on a wide range of classics and modern masterpieces, building a sizable collection at an affordable price. Note that the deal only applies if you choose three or more eligible Blu-rays, with Amazon discounting each to $11.

That's a pretty good deal for something that normally costs around $20 on average, and many of these films also include a standard Blu-ray with extras. Digital streaming codes are also included with many releases, but they do have an expiration date, and there's a chance that they may no longer be valid now.

See at Amazon

So what's worth picking up? Looking at movies that defined cinema over the decades, there's a lot of great stuff on offer. The influence of Blade Runner is still felt in contemporary sci-fi and Full Metal Jacket is a gripping drama about the dehumanizing training army recruits underwent during the Vietnam War. We'd also recommend Jurassic Park, a movie that rewrote the blockbuster rulebook, or Amadeus if you're in the mood for an epic period piece about dueling composers that still looks and sounds incredible.
