I could never get into the Challenge Rooms in the new Batman games, but damn if I don't suddenly want to jump back in and beat the crap out of some guys.

Video Blips:

• Batman: Arkham City's new Challenge Room DLC dropped this week. How did all those people get into the Batcave? It's getting so a guy can't have a top-secret crime lab full of legally suspect gear without a bunch of people barging in and asking to get punched in the face. I blame the economy.

Hit the break to see what happens when you combine Minecraft and Counter-Strike in Brick Force, meet Touch My Katamari's new character, and check out a few of the fine folks you'll be beating up in Soul Calibur 5.

• Brick Force is an upcoming multi-platform online multiplayer game in which you build arenas and then run around them shooting other players. You may start making "Little Big Firefight" jokes...now.

That's it...I'm turning it around. This is the most important day of my life. Wait...when does Mass Effect 3 come out, again? Okay, I'm back.

• Here's a quick look at what you're going to be up against in Soul Calibur 5. Between Skyrim's Argonians and Aeon down there, I think the Web Crazies are right: This might, in fact, be the Age of the Lizard Men.
