DC Universe Online presents Nightwing

DC Universe Online presents Nightwing

The boys and girls at Sony Online Entertainment really know how to push the right buttons, enticing DC comic fans even further into buying their upcoming MMO set within the famous fictional universe. The most recent additions to DCUO's cast, including Bizarro and Green Arrow only continues to be bolstered as fangirl-favourite Nightwing swings onto the scene.

Those following the game will know that you can't actually play as your favourite heroes, but you will have the chance to fight alongside them and maybe even become allies. However, if you aren't in the mood for making friends, you can always don the cape of a villain and destory them instead with the help of various bad guys from the pages of DC history -- including Lex Luthor in his green and purple armor. Aside from Nightwing, can you tap into your comic book knowledge to identify several other familiar faces in the screenshots below?

Divinity II vignette series debuts with Dragon Slayer

Looking forward to Larian Studios' RPG Divinity II: Ego Draconis? Oh, you are, you just don't know it yet.

The game, set for PC and Xbox 360, is a proper sequel to the acclaimed Divine Divinity, which boasts one of the worst titles in history, but has some of the best gameplay and story around. Ego goes full 3D and third person, throwing in the ability to transform into a dragon for good measure, complete with armor sets, abilities, and the like.

Kicking off today is a vignette series for the game, which will continue until its launch on January 5. The first -- titled "Dragon Slayer" -- is a broody little thing which gives a peek at the life of, you guessed it, dragon slaying. Enjoy.
