Were you able to attend this month’s Comic-Con? Or are you watching from afar? CNN’s John Gaudiosi has pointed out five video games to watch from the 2013 Comic-Con International in San Diego. It’s no surprise most of the titles are triple-A productions, given the immensity of the convention. “Batman: Arkham Origins,” “Dead Rising 3,” “Watch Dogs” and SEGA’s “Total War: Rome II” are among the five. But Gaudiosi also picked Young Horses’ “Octodad: Dadliest Catch” for PS4 and PC, an odd third-person puzzle game in which you control (with quite some difficulty) the titular Octodad. Obviously these five games just touch the tip of the iceberg, but no doubt titles worth playing when released. The games, publishers, and platform details are listed below.

  • “Batman: Arkham Origins” (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment; October 25; Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii U)
  • “Dead Rising 3” (Capcom; November; Xbox One)
  • “Octodad: Dadliest Catch” (Young Horses; 2014; PlayStation 4, PC)
  • “Total War: Rome II” (Sega/The Collective Assembly; September 3; PC)
  • “Watch Dogs” (Ubisoft; November 19; Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4)
