Proficient City, the developer behind browser-based RPG Wartune, is asking players to help fund a novel spin-off.

Actually, it’s been out for a few days, but anyway… after what seemed like, and apparently was, months of public testing, Gazillion’s free-to-play MMO Marvel Heroes is now open to the unwashed masses (i.e. those who didn’t see fit to invest in a $200 ultimate founders pack).

In a surprising turn of events, it would appear that the rumour mill has spun true: Mortal Kombat’s undead ninja Scorpion will be joining the Injustice: Gods Among Us roster as the next DLC character.

While Iron Man 3 has seen an onslaught of toys, clothing and other assorted crap (though I do want a Lego Ben Kingsley) to coincide with Marvel’s big release, there’s the conspicuous absence of a video game adaptation. That is, until you realise that the customary major console release has been replaced by a Facebook update, a PC free-to-play and a tablet game.

Get ready for a bit of Batman on Batman action.

Those sly folks at Volition/Deep Silver have evidently noticed that the world is lacking in fun superhero sandbox games, and steered the next iteration of the Saint’s Row franchise in a more “comic book” direction.
