DC Universe characters prepare to duke out this week with the arrival of Injustice: Gods Among Us. NetherRealm is behind the new fighter that has DC characters going head-to-head.  Included in the roster is Superman, Catwoman, Batman, The Joker, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor, Black Adam, and plenty others. Players who’ve played Mortal Kombat before will have some feel for the new game. Dishonored players also have something to look forward to on Tuesday. Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall comes out and lets you see the game in a different perspective. Gameplay look about the same as the main game, with a few differences, thanks to the different powers you’ll be using.

PC gamers can look forward to Papo & Yo. Taking place in a Brazilian favela, you play as Quico. He’s running from home because of his father, while on the run he encounters a Monster. At times the player can interact with a calm and friendly monster, but given certain events, that monster can become something to fear. And of course this week also has Call of Duty: Black Ops II – Revolution hitting Xbox LIVE. It comes with new multiplayer maps, and a zombie themed one.
