Is Valve/Steam evil? [C&G seems to think so.](http://www.cgmagazine.ca/articles/editorials/item/20380-steam-sale-are-encouraging-obsession.html?ref=killscreen.com)

Fanboys worldwide lamented as WB Montreal revealed that Batgirl will not be in *Batman: Arkham Origins*. Also, see the [awkward video game interview banter](http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/07/18/batgirl-isnt-in-batman-arkham-origins-comic-con-2013.%20?ref=killscreen.com).

In other Batlady news, WB revealed that the newest antagonist to join the series is the slithery Copperhead. But with a twist–she’s a woman now. [And is kicking some](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVO1wz1BN7Q&ref=killscreen.com) tail.

Coming out July 22nd for the [Leap Motion](https://www.leapmotion.com/product?ref=killscreen.com), Funktronic Labs is releasing [*Lotus*, a psychadelic “motion controlled audioreactive experiment.”](http://funktroniclabs.com/lotus?ref=killscreen.com) Looks beautiful even if you’ve skipped your microdose of LSD for the day.

OUYA’s games are certainly creative and experimental, but [is the console financially wise for game designers?](http://www.edge-online.com/news/are-indies-making-any-money-from-ouya/?ref=killscreen.com)

French ballet goes avant-garde and [plays around with virtual reality in *Mr & Mrs Dream*](http://www.wired.com/design/2013/07/this-virtual-reality-set-will-make-you-question-reality/?ref=killscreen.com) (Monsieur et Madame in the original). Maybe they’re taking a page from the Paris Opera’s [video-game finale to Götterdämmerung in 2011?](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303657404576363270021550378.html?ref=killscreen.com)

GameTheNews is turning its attention to children. And in this economy, they’re being resourceful: [*Hemming’s Play Company*, a theatre management sim with bears](http://www.shakespearesglobe.com/playground?ref=killscreen.com), was built on the same engine as banned iOS title *Endgame: Syria*, with tanks and assassins replaced by cartoon animals.

We’re still not quite over *Earthbound* being [re-released](http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/07/earthbound-wii-u/?ref=killscreen.com) after years of anticipation. Neither are the Super Soul Bros., who covered the tune that plays *while you name your character*. The cult love for this game knows no bounds.

*Hello, Blue Monday…*
