With Superman, Wonder Woman and Green lantern joining the Dark Knight in Lego Batman 2, you’re pretty much going to be able to assemble a miniature Justice League in the block-happy sequel. But since when it comes to hero team-ups, four measly characters is barely an appetizer. You’ll be happy to know, then, that more characters will apparently be showing up in the game. But it’s a little less exciting that find out that extra characters like Damian Wayne, Katana and others will be coming via retailer exclusive pre-orders.
We’ve already passed on details about the pre-order loot that early birds in the United States will get with their reservation money, that being early access to the Cemetery multiplayer map. Europe will be getting that same online arena by pre-ordering from the following retailers:
Details about Ninja Gaiden 3‘s Collector’s Edition came through a whole back but Tecmo’s finally seen fit to show everyone what it looks like. As mentioned before, you’ll get a two-figure Duel of the Masked set and a downloadable demo from Dead or Alive 5, the upcoming entry in Tecmo’s fighting game series.

With one day until the early demo release for UFC Undisputed 2010, and about a month until the title hits the shelves, the game’s full lineup has been revealed, adding more than 30 fighters since last year’s edition.

Crayon Physics Deluxe, the 2008 Independent Games Festival Grand Prize Winner, is getting dangerously close to release, and to prepare for the waxy buildup that is sure to ensue, creator Petri Purho has launched a brand new website for the game and is now actively accepting pre-orders. What does a pre-order of Crayon Physics get you? How about $US5 off the already ridiculously low price of $US20, plus a guaranteed spot in the Crayon Physics Deluxe beta? I declare it not too shabby indeed.
