Batman: Arkham CityXbox 360

Released on 21-Oct-2011.

• Leaked video suggests unlikely co-op partnership for Arkham City?

  With the news dominated by the PSP2 today, only Batman: Arkham City is exciting enough to make us think about anything other than Sony's amazing new handheld. Well done, Bats: you sure know how to get our attention.

  What's the story? How about a mysterious new trailer that shows Batman teaming up with... The Joker in the new game?

  If the new trailer is to be believed - and it can't be right, can it? - Arkham City's much rumoured co-op mode will see Batman and his arch enemy working together to take out enemies. Eurogamer for one was so surprised by the video, leaked by French site Jeux Video, that it's contacted Warner Bros just to make sure the whole thing isn't a hoax - we'll bring you news of that tomorrow, if that's the case.

  Co-op's been the subject of speculation for some time with this game, but the assumption has been it will be Batman and Catwoman taking on Arkham City's thugs together. This twist - unless maybe it shows standard multiplayer? - would be unexpected, to say the least.

  Whoever Batman eventually teams up with, Arkham City is due for release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year and we really, really want it.

• Batman: Arkham City previewed in San Francisco

  With Microsoft in town to show off games like Gears of War 3 and the brilliant Kinect title Child of Eden, the caped crusader decided to get in on the action too, offering a healthy chunk of Batman: Arkham City for Gothamites to get their teeth into.

  The sequel to the amazing Batman: Arkham Asylum hits the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC towards the end of this year, and based on the latest playthrough, we're in for a proper classic. With Arkham Asylum out of service, Gotham City's nutters have been corralled into a temporary prison on the streets of the city itself, and the game takes place within a huge chunk of real estate as Batman tries to unravel another of the Joker's hideous plots.

  New cast members include Two-Face and Catwoman - the latest demo sees the former trying to murder the latter before Bats saves the day - while Batman's moveset has expanded, allowing for a swooping dive that allows you to build up speed while gliding across town, and dozens of new fighting animations. You'll also be able to interrogate prisoners, if you can keep them conscious during the game's huge brawls.

  With new gadgets, new scenery, and a much bigger environment, Arkham City promises to be an astonishing achievement. Bring it on.

• Arkham City: Get ready for a long night

  If you were hoping Batman: Arkham City would be a nice long adventure to keep you glued to your console or PC for a good while, we have great news: Rocksteady, the game developer, has announced that the campaign will take at least eight hours to complete and it could turn out to be a good deal longer.

  "It's very difficult to put a number on it," said Rocksteady Dax Ginn in an interview with CVG. "I can tell you that our QA [testing] guys, who are ninjas and obviously know everything in the game, can do just the core story missions, nothing else, in about eight hours, just straight-lining. And they know exactly where to go and what to do - the most efficient way of doing it. So, someone who has no idea what to do and wants to complete everything it's going to be significantly more than that."

  We can wait for the new Batman game, no matter the length of the campaign. The follow up to 2009 smash Arkham Asylum, Arkham City promises lots more real-estate and plenty of new baddies to mess up. It hitting the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC on 21st October.

• Batman: Arkham City dated

  Get excited, Bat fans: Warner Bros has just slapped a street date for Batman: Arkham City, and UK audiences can expect to get their hands on the game on 21st October.

  We've seen the game, and we can't wait. A direct sequel to 2009's comic book classic Arkham Asylum, Arkham City ups the ante considerably by letting Batman loose in a section of Gotham itself - an area five times the size of the first game's island.

  We already know you'll be facing off against the Joker and Two-Face, and you can expect to run up against Catwoman and Calendar Man, too. Batman will have new gadgets to play with and an expanded arsenal of moves.

  The most important change is that you'll be covering a much larger area - an urban sprawl where you're free to pick your way between buildings and tackle roving gangs of thugs as you see fit. The first game was brilliant, but we're expecting this to be the most authentic comic book experience we've ever played.

  Batman: Arkham City will be available for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. We're so excited, we half want to try and get to bed early so we can sleep until October.

• Batman Arkham City has 40 hours of genius

  Batman: Arkham City is 40 hours of pure gaming genius

  Bats is back, and bigger than ever. According to the developers behind Batman: Arkham City, the new game offers around 40 hours of superhero carnage for you to enjoy.

  Speaking to The Guardian and reported by CVG game director Sefton Hill spilled the beans on what we can expect. "It takes over 25 hours to complete the main stories in Batman: Arkham City,he said. o keep players engaged for this length of time, not only do the characters and the story need to progress, but the core mechanics of the game they are playing need to change and adapt as well."

  On top of that, you can expect around 15 hours of side-quests, which you can take on as and when you please. "It's completely down to the player when and how they want to tackle this,said Hill. here's no right or wrong time. There's no other medium that can offer this kind of flexible experience where the viewer gets to tailor the experience they want themselves."

  Hill also added that the narrative of Arkham City has more in common with TV shows than movies. "In terms of narrative structure, I think games are much more analogous to an episodic TV series than a film,he explained. ou have, say, 15 hourly episodes to fill, each requiring its own narrative arc but each plugging into an overarching storyline. It requires a lot of planning to make sure that every single hour is consistent with each other, is feeding and driving towards a compelling crescendo, while remaining implicitly self-explanatory so players can pick up and play at any time and know what they are doing."

  Movies? TV? We don care which one Arkham City feels like as long as it feels like Batman, too.

  Batman: Arkham City swings onto the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on 21st October this year.

• Arkham City Robin is roubled and dangerous

  Batfans across the world wrinkled their noses and raised their eyebrows when it was announced that sidekick Robin would be making an appearance in special bonus maps for the forthcoming Arkham Asylum sequel, Arkham City. Just how would the brightly coloured youth with a penchant for olyexclamations fit into the brooding atmosphere established by the previous game?

  Clearly, developer Rocksteady heard the murmurs of discontent, as an update on the sequel official website seeks to put gamer minds at rest that the Robin of this series won be sporting bright green tights and pixie boots when the game releases on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 21st. Instead, hel be an angry young brawler, more in keeping with the game brutal aesthetic.

  ur vision of Robin is the one of a troubled young individual that is calm and introverted at times but very dangerous and aggressive if provoked explains the update. "The shaved head is inspired by cage fighters, because we thought that Robin might be doing that in his spare time to keep him on his toes.br>
  An insular cage-fighting skinhead Robin who lashes out at enemies with savage fury? Looks like Chris Oonnell and Burt Ward are out of a job/p>

• Hang In There!

  The summer drought is almost over, and just round the corner are a barrage of games just waiting to slake your thirst. Just look at that calendar. August is already upon us, and after that it's September and the start of the AAA blockbuster releases. The nights start to draw in, newspapers start to make wild predictions about snow, and the games industry emerges from its summer hibernation with a slew of must-have titles that will leave your bank account begging for mercy.

  So here six games that are so nearly here - so hang in there for just a little bit longer, 'kay?

  

  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
  Out: November 8th
  On: Xbox 360, PS3, PC

  Let's start with the obvious one. Everyone in the world will be buying Modern Warfare 3. That's just scientific fact at this point. With such popularity comes the inevitable backlash, but the fact we all know what to expect from Modern Warfare shouldn't count against it. No series delivers the big-screen action movie experience better, and the arrival of a fresh entry every November has become an explosive tradition that's every bit as beloved as Bonfire Night.

  "No series delivers the big-screen action movie experience better."

  

  Battlefield 3
  Out: October 28th
  On: Xbox 360, PS3, PC

  Beatles or Stones? Coke or Pepsi? Boxers or briefs? We can now add another divisive choice to that timeless list - Modern Warfare or Battlefield? But why be a slave to petty arguments? Both games look awesome, so play 'em both and let the fanboys have their squabbles. Battlefield 3 scratches our itch for massive full-on multiplayer combat scenarios, while Modern Warfare addresses our burning need for fast, frag-happy kill-streaks.

  "Battlefield scratches our itch for massive, full-on multiplayer combat scenarios."

  

  Gears of War 3
  Out: September 20th
  On: Xbox 360

  Gears of War 3 is one of the early harbingers of the blockbuster season, we'll no doubt have finished the story mode of Delta Squad's final(?) adventure several times over by the time we bust out the mince pies. But as every Gearhead knows, it's the multiplayer that lasts a long, long time. Let it roll.

  "It's the multiplayer that lasts a long, long time."

  

  Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
  Out: November 2nd
  On: PS3

  It's definitely the Winter of Threes this year but when the quality is this high, who's counting? Naughty Dog reinvented the action and exploration genre with the first two Nathan Drake adventures, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is shaping up to be one of the most stunning, thrilling, hilarious and gripping games of the year. If you hate fun, feel free to give it a miss!

  "If you hate fun, feel free to give it a miss!"

  

  Batman: Arkham City
  Out: October 21st
  On: Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii U

  It's appropriate that Batman waits for the week before Halloween before swooping into action. Who wants to stalk the rooftops of Gotham with sunlight streaming through the curtains at nine o'clock at night? With more villains, more heroes and a city in chaos to navigate, Batman: Arkham City promises to be everything that the exceptional Arkham Asylum was - and so much more.

  "More villains, more heroes, and a city in chaos to navigate."

  

  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
  Out: November 11th
  On: Xbox 360, PS3, PC

  There's nothing better for those long winter nights than a truly epic RPG to sink yourself into, before emerging into the spring sunshine four months later as a Level 50 Warrior Mage. So much better to look at than even Oblivion, the news that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's vast open-world quest-gasm features giant dragons, 280 perks and side quests that adapt to accommodate your previous actions, is almost too much for us to bear!

  "A vast, open-world quest-gasm."
  

• Get Robin for Batman: Arkham City exclusively at gamestation

  "Think about the future!" That's what Jack Nicholson said to the fat detective in Batman before shooting him. He could just as easily have been talking about games in 2011, as the shrewd gamer is always looking ahead to see what pre-order bonuses lie in wait.

  Those hungering for Rocksteady's follow up to 2009's award-winning Arkham Asylum will be pleased to learn that the Robin character and associated challenge maps are going to be available to UK players, but you'll need to pre-order the game to get them at launch. And you'll need to pre-order them from gamestation, which is rather conveniently the very same website you're now reading. How much easier could we make it?

  And don't worry about dainty green tights or exclamations of "Holy Whatever!" as the Robin of this more brutal Batman universe is a crop-haired cage fighter with a serious attitude problem. He comes with two exclusive challenge maps Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape. Robin joins a veritable buffet of classic DC characters gracing the game, including Two Face, Catwoman, Penguin and, of course, The Joker.

  Batman: Arkham City leaps from the rooftops and into our Xbox 360s, PS3s and PCs on October 21st.

• Batman Arkham City Review

  It good to be Bat

  
  

  Few games have given comic book fans as much to grin about as Batman: Arkham Asylum. Rocksteady crime-fighting master-class took the Dark Knight out of graphic novels and blockbuster movies and turned him into a bonafide videogame superstar. Suddenly, here was a caped crusader who was able to solve crimes as well as pummel baddies, while the setting a Victorian looney-bin stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere put him up against all his greatest foes. It a modern classic.

  And it left us with the question: how could the developer Rocksteady ever better it? How could they come up with a sequel that matched up to the original? The answer, thankfully, is ith ease Arkham City isn just the best Batman game wee ever played, it the best superhero game wee ever played too. It the adventure that both the Dark Knight and his fans have been crying out for.

  Dark City

  
  

  It bigger, brasher, and far, far battier, and it starts with a shift in locations. Following the events of the previous game, Arkham warden has become the mayor of Gotham City, and his first act has been to cordon off the slums of the metropolis, erect guard towers, and turn the place into a huge open air prison. It here that Batman finds himself drawn into his most dangerous mission yet a mystery that will ultimately hold the fate of all Gotham in the balance, while pitting him up against a truly deadly gang of foes.

  Arkham streets are filled with roaming gangs, their goons having sworn allegiance to one of the asylum leaders. The people in charge include the Penguin and Two-Face, and theye not to be taken lightly. Meanwhile, Hugo Strange is the new warden, and the Joker - poisoned by Titan and dying - lurks in the shadows with his own plots.

  It all adds up to one of the best open world set-ups wee ever seen in a game as Batman swoops over the city, tracking down the baddies and busting up their criminal empires. It a mission that will see him scaling the heights of the Wonder Tower, the huge framework of which dominates the skyline, and plummeting through the sewers to explore Gotham mysterious Victorian past. To say any more would be to spoil some of the delights and some of the horrors the plot has in store for you. Cameos abound, and the boss fights are bigger than ever. When it comes to delivering brilliant set-pieces in an open world, Batman only rival is The Legend of Zelda.

  Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly

  
  

  A bigger world calls for new ways of getting around, and Batman can now glide through the air on his cape, and boost his way into the sky using his grapnel gun. Youl spend hours soaring amongst the peaks and rooftops of Gotham, and when you come down to earth, you can mix things up with some great new gadgets. Old favourites like the explosive gel and the batarang return, but you can also expect to mess around with the REC, an electrical shotgun, and an improved line-launcher that allows you to switch paths in mid-air.

  Every gadget as useful in combat as it is in puzzle-solving, and the brawling in Batman is as good as it ever been, with more enemies to take on at any one time, new animations, and a range of new take-downs to put your foes to sleep with. Bam.

  Beyond all that, if youe a comic book fan, youe in for the time of your life, with a range of side quests to play through once the main campaign is over, all of them leading you to a different classic villain. We can spill too much on this front, but we can tell you about Catwoman, who a playable character in the game with her own story missions, her own side quests, and her own vicious approach to combat and getting around. Arkham City the game is every bit as big as Arkham City the place and we defy you to get through all of this content in under twenty hours.

  So the bat back, and it brilliant to see him again. Whether he lurking in the shadows and plotting a stealthy take-down, or whipping through the skies on the trail of adventure, the Dark Knight simply never been as real, as fully-formed, or as brutally convincing as he is here. Arkham City is an astonishingly brilliant game, and that just leaves us with a very familiar question: what next?

   

  

  Bat-tastic!
  + Great new gadgets!
  + Huge environments!
  + Plenty of side-missions!

  Jokerific!
  - We want more!
  - Maybe throw in the Batmobile next time?
  - How long will we have to wait for a sequel?

• Wii U confirmed for European release before Christmas

  Speaking to investors, Nintendo has offered its first confirmation that its new Wii U console will launch in all major markets - including the UK - for Christmas 2012. The console, first revealed at E3 last year, was already pencilled in for a 2012 release, but it was unclear if that only referred to Japan.

  The console is an evolution of the existing Wii, with far more graphical power, HD graphics and an innovative new tablet controller which works together with the Wii remote. The console was shown off again at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, and will be the centrepiece of Nintendo's presence at E3 in June.

  As for software, a new Super Smash Bros game is known to be in development while Legend of Zelda has been used for some demonstrations. Exclusive Wii U versions of smash hits such as Batman: Arkham City, Ghost Recon, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed and Darksiders also feature in the console's confirmed line up.

  So that's the Christmas shopping sorted nice and early then.

• Batman and LA Noire lead 2012 Video Game BAFTA nominations

  The finalists for the 2012 British Academy Video Game Awards have been announced, and this year everyone will be watching the detectives, as Batman: Arkham City and LA Noire top the lists with eight nominations apiece.

  Sony will be happy that Uncharted 3 and LittleBigPlanet 2 both get six nominations, while Skyrim and Portal 2 each have five.

  Categories include Action, Artistic Achievement, Design, Story, Innovation and, of course, Best Game. Batman and LA Noire rub shoulders with FIFA 12, Portal 2, Skyrim and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword in that category. The omission of best-seller Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 may raise eyebrows, but that gets a nod in both the Action and Multiplayer categories.

  Promising indie projects get a look in thanks to the Dare to be Digital One's To Watch award, and there's also a public vote, with ten blockbuster games to choose between. You can head to http://www.baftagameaward.com to pick your favourite.

  The winners will be announced at a sure-to-be-lavish ceremony on March 16th.

• Batman: Arkham City developer has "exciting ideas" for new game

  London-based developer Rocksteady took home the BAFTA for Best Action Game at the British Academy Video Game Awards last week, a prize deservedly won for the excellent Batman: Arkham City.

  But where next for the talented studio? "We have lots of exciting ideas about what we want to do next," game director Sefton Hill told VG247 during a post-show interview. "When you come to the end, you feel like you've put everything in... And then when you start a new game it's diverging, and everything becomes possible again. Immediately we sat down and thought right, what do we do next? And there were so many exciting ideas on the table."

  Hill wouldn't be drawn on what Rocksteady is working on next, but he wouldn't deny that capes and cowls are still very much on their minds. "You're constantly thinking about what can we do to improve the game," he said of Arkham City's popularity. "If you could press CTRL+ALT+DEL in my brain, it would be 90% Batman at any given time. It sort of means that I can't function in any other social capacity other than to talk about Batman."

  Batman: Arkham City is out now for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

• Bring On the Bad Guys!

  
  

  

  This week sees the release of Prototype 2, where the Alex Mercer, hero from the first game seems to have become the new bad guy to beat. So, in celebration of all things vile and villainous, the digital team has once again been gently prodded to share with you our favourite evil-doers. These are the people, who, in the style of Bugsy Malone, are "the very best at being bad"

  
  

  

  Glenn - Mad Mod

  Diablo is the Lord of Terror and a Prime Evil of Hell. That's a job title that alone warrants a spot on our best bad guys list.

  He manipulates his opponents using their innermost fears and then obliterates them with his Demonic strength and incredibly powerful Spells. The strongest Demon in Hell, named after the Devil himself, and seemingly indestructible (Read - he's been destroyed a number of times, even with the Arch Angels helping and he's still keeps ticking, like a malevolent Duracell bunny), devious and able to possess his enemies, Diablo is the Ultimate Bad Guy. And he's back in Diablo 3!
  

  

  Marc - Analyst to the Stars

  The little girl from F.E.A.R. - Alma Wade.

  She was scary. Honest. Like the girl from the Ring (Japanese version, obviously). The first corridor experience with her and the ceiling of blood is one of the scariest scenes ever in a game.

  The Music and Sound was eerie too. It was just all far too scary and Alma was the cause of it all.

  Carl - Design Doodler

  Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat. Because he is a massive #@+! and I can't kill him!

  

  Ali - Queen of the Internet

  My favourite video game villain is Revolver Ocelot. He started life in Metal Gear Solid as a random gunslinger who you could kill if you (as Solid Snake) waited for him to need to reload his revolver - he really should have named himself something with more than 6 bullets!

  After cutting off his arm you assume that's the end of him, but he's more maniacal than you realise as he replaces his arm with that of your dead clone brother Liquid Snake. In a strange twist of surgery his arm takes over his mind so you have to beat him again in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Finally the epic family feud of a lifetime is over, but with Metal Gear nothing ever seems to stay dead. Roll on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance!

  James - Captain Category

  G-Man from Half-Life - not really a villain but still very creepy

  

  Nick - Colonel Category

  Wesker from Resident Evil.
  
  How many times did he die escape get retconned? Nigh on unkillable (until the muddle that was Resident Evil 5), the variety of his super powers (whatever the situation demanded, basically) and his smartass one-liners made him the man (ish?) well all loved to hate.

  Plus, sunglasses in those dark places, yes, THAT's how hard he was!

  Louis - Merchandising Meddler

  Wesker be top of my favourite picks, too. From his humble beginnings in a dual life as a scientist/Umbrella genius/STARS Leader, he goes about sacrificing his entire team in the name of science... and obtaining reliable combat data.

  After he is foiled by Chris and Jill, Wesker fakes his own death, escapes, and, not content with the destruction of Raccoon City, tries to continue his research away from the tenacious and meddling Redfield...

  But, Wesker is a bad guy and is therefore doomed to fail. After failing twice, mutating his body beyond belief and moving to Africa, he becomes nothing short of annoying and impossible to kill. The only way he is stopped is by being tackled by Chris and Eva and hundreds of bullets later, is engulfed in a pool of lava.

  Truly special, I'll always remember him for his rubbish sunglasses (worn at all times) and even worse Matrix-esque coat (RE 5). It was also really weird the way his accent changed too. He went from camp American to indignant English... I guess that cemented the transformation from mildly devious to completely evil!

  My second pick would be The Shredder (many Turtles games, but in particular, the 1989 TMNT Arcade Game). Not content with burning down April's apartment building, he kidnaps her too - forcing the Turtles into action and on a mission to end all missions. To a degree, menacing, but generally just annoying and incessant ; )

  Finally, I'd say my third pick would be Dr. Robotnik from Sonic. Generally, he's also just annoying, but also very devious and innovative. From trying to run Sonic down with a drill machine, to smashing Sonic with a giant wrecking ball, to trying to drown Sonic, to pitting Sonic against Metal Sonic in a race to save Amy Rose. Robotnik never gives up... You gotta love a good villain!

  

  Robyn - In-Yer-Face Interfacer

  Baron von Blubba. You know, the whale in Bubble Bobble! When time runs out it goes ape and super fast... Waaaaaah!!!! (o_o)

  Damien - Good Word Writing Man

  Does 'Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames' from Guitar Hero: World Tour count? Talk about an unbeatable enemy... No? Well then there's always the Joker in Arkham Asylum and City - played with delicious glee by Mark Hamill. He won an award for it and everything.

• Batman still hasn't uncovered all of Arkham City's secrets

  Even after seven months on sale, players still haven't found all of the secrets and Easter eggs hidden among the grim streets of Arkham City, developer Rocksteady has revealed.

  The British studio hid lots of references to Batman lore in its sprawling openworld superhero adventure, and some were discovered incredibly quickly. ""Some of them we put in there that were really obscure were found within a week," the game's director, Sefton Hill, told audiences at the Kapow! Comic Con in London. A secret lair for Scarecrow was just one of these teasers that fans cracked almost immediately. "We didn't think anyone would ever solve that," said Hill, "but it only took people two days."

  However, there are still a few mysteries to be solved, for those with detective aspirations. "There are still three or four things that people haven't seen - some of them very subtle things," Hill told the crowd. "There's one that we had right in one of the first demos that we did that nobody has found - it's in there if you look hard enough."

  Don't worry if you haven't got started on this fantastic comic book caper yet. It's out now on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, and there'll be a Game of the Year edition, including all the game's downloadable content, due in the Autumn.
