Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City

Bruce Wayne's true face returns to action in Batman: Arkham City, the smart, action-packed follow up to Batman: Arkham Asylum. This Game of The Year candidate builds on Arkham Asylum's solid foundation by adding new hard-hitting melee attacks, more Bat-gadgets, stealth, detective work, and an expansive playground—an open-air penitentiary in Gotham's slums—where the city's worst minds run wild. These criminal minds include the familiar (Catwoman, The Joker, Two-Face), and the more obscure (Calendar Man, Hugo Strange, Solomon Grundy). Developer Rocksteady Studios has proven that comic book licenses need not be trapped in the usual murk of suspect gameplay and mediocre movie tie-ins.
