You know how sometimes, something can feel too good to be true, so you underplay your hopes for it? When I first heard David Oyelowo and Lupita Nyong’o were doing a movie directed by Mira Nair about the true story of the young girl from Uganda who became a chess champion, I muted my […]
First and foremost, it’s not the Arkham series. That’s still the standard for Batman (and probably all superhero) games. But Batman: the Telltale Series is great in all the ways that it’s different.
