Batman, you've probably heard of him. This masked hero of the night has been protecting Gotham City across films, TV series, comic books and games for over 80 years. Many actors have portrayed Batman since his comic book-conception, with the likes of Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, and Robert Pattinson all taking on the role in films (and, who can forget George Clooney's nipple suit for his turn as Batman). In the games, meanwhile, we have seen names like Troy Baker and Will Arnett voicing the Caped Crusader. Of course, there is also late, great Kevin Conroy, who is seen by many as the definitive take on both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Read more

Life Below sees you restoring a dying sea floor, yet it makes for a surprisingly cosy city builder filled with touches of vibrant life
For people who don't play city builders, it may be easy to look at them as something mechanical and bureaucratic. Grids of streets, well-ordered manufacturing production lines, and carefully tailored catchment areas to ensure residential zones will efficiently staff nearby businesses, don't scream the stuff of life. Though, play enough of them and you will often see there can be a good deal of living going on at street level.
