8 Video Games You Need To Play Over Christmas 2016

8. Batman: Arkham Origins

Batman: Arkham Origins is a prequel to the excellent Arkham game series by Rocksteady. The game gives us more of that satisfying rhythmic combat we've come to expect from the series, as well as introducing crime scene analysis mechanics to the series.

As an added bonus, the game is also set on Christmas Eve - so Gotham is encased in a blanket of white snow, and the streets are decked out in Christmas lights and decorations (which have probably been up since the start of November!)

One thing to note however, is that Origins isn't included in the Batman: Return to Arkham collection as it is the only game in the series not developed by Rocksteady - but it can be found on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC fairly cheaply.
