In a new Kickstarter update, The Realm technical director Tom Szirtes walks players through potential features that Atomhawk and Lantern Interactive plan on adding to the point-and-click adventure game if it reaches enough funding on Kickstarter. The first is an optional collection sidequest in which players must find and collect hidden butterflies, which are only revealed by solving puzzles in certain ways. One example, says Szirtes, is that there might be a bolder on the ground that stone golem Toru can smash or lift in order to get out of the way. Smashing it, however, would destroy the butterfly hidden beneath it. The second bonus system is Sarina's flute. By playing certain melodies on a flute she discovers in the wilderness, Sarina can activate different powers. Different...

The latest Wildstar dev diary demonstrates the basic movements of double jump, dash and sprint, and their in-game applications. As outlined in the video, double jump, when used in conjunction with sprint, comes in handy to access difficult items. Dash, for instance, is instrumental in situations such as dodging out of the path of giant laser-belching worms. Players must also be wary of their sprint meter, lest they find themselves out of puff in inopportune moments. WildStar entered a closed beta last month that will last for "several weeks," where players will have the opportunity to check out the game's classes, factions and races. WildStar is expected to launch later this year for Windows PC. For more information about WildStar, please read our interview with executive producer...

NetherRealm has released footage of Batgirl facing off against the Joker in DC Universe fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us. The second downloadable fighter to be announced following Injustice's launch, Batgirl's release comes with extra costumes for the game's characters based on Alan Moore's famous graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke. In the acclaimed tale, the Joker shoots and paralyzes Barbara Gordon (that is, Batgirl) in order to torment her father Commissioner Gordon into madness. In the Injustice fight here, Batgirl gets some revenge. Batgirl was the second of four DLC fighters to be announced following the game's release in April. The first was "Main Man" Lobo, who was added to the game on May 7.

Volition has released a new gameplay video for the upcoming open-world Saint's Row 4, narrated by the game's senior producer Jim Boone. The video is the demo that Volition showed at PAX East back in March, this time with added commentary. In it, the leader of the Saints — who has since become the President of the United States — is trapped in a twisted virtual version of Steelport by an evil alien race called the Zin. In the walkthrough, Boone shows off some of Saint's Row 4's more ridiculous weaponry, like a gun that inflates enemies until they burst or a gun that literally shoots dubstep music. We also see the game's upgrade shops, where the player can customize a weapon's performance by boosting its damage or rate of fire. The design of weapon can now also be changed; the video...
