Two years ago, RockSteady Studios brought us a sleeper game that completely changed the superhero video game world. That game was Batman: Arkham Asylum and was the Batman game that fans had been waiting for since they gave The Dark Knight a standing ovation that previous summer. Combining action packed marshal arts, stealthy "Splinter Cell" sneakiness, and the many iconic gadgets at the Bat's disposal, this game was amazing. I, myself was never a huge Batman fan before Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but after those movies and playing Arkham Asylum, that changed rapidly.
In October, RockSteady is bringing us the second installment in their series with Batman: Arkham City. This new game will incorporate the superb gameplay of Arkham Asylum with the open-world of the Grand Theft Auto Series. The inmates/villains of Batman have escaped the asylum and have been quarantined by the GPD in the ghetto, slums of Gotham. When the Joker, Riddler, and other notorious characters take control of the city, it is up to Batman to help Commissioner Gordon restore order. If you feel lead to join Batman on his new adventure, strap on your cape and pre-order Batman: Arkham City, which will be hitting shelves on October 18, 2011.
Oh, and you can play at Catwoman also :P
