As I write this report on Day Three at the Expo, I realise that the morning has faded away into a blur and I find myself extremely thankful for the notes I made on my tablet this morning. I don’t think I would have remembered what happened without those notes.
Back in 1997, R-Kelly sang that Gotham City was a City of Justice, Love and Peace (for everyone of us.) I’m not sure he was talking about the same city we all thought he was at the time, if the menagerie of crooks, criminals and villains that inhabit the part of Gotham where the events of Batman: Arkham City take place is anything to go by…
I was part of that masochistic dial-up brigade who persisted in trying to play online even though pings around the 300 mark were common. Back when LPB and HPB were abbreviations that people still used. Back when in-game voice communication wasn’t widespread and you didn’t have to listen to strangers threaten to interfere with your relatives.
Wow, what a few days this has been at the Eurogamer Expo, it was my first gaming event of its kind, and I enjoyed every last minute of it. Yes, it was busy, hot and expensive, but it was bloody enjoyable. I heartily recommend anyone who has never been to an event like this to do so. It is a nice sensation to find yourself in a crowd of people with a like-minded passion for video games. So please read…
In a disappointing piece of news, Warner Bros Interactive today announced that the PC version of upcoming Batman biff-em-Up Arkham City is to sadly be delayed from it’s intended release date of 21st October to an indeterminate date in November.
The latest trailer for Batman: Arkham City shows off villain Dr Victor Fries, otherwise known as Mr. Freeze, who’ll be joining the already huge cast of villains set to face off against Batman in the sequel to 2009’s Arkham Asylum.
The sequel to the hugely impressive Batman: Arkham Asylum has been named and given a release date of Autumn 2011. The title is Batman: Arkham City. The good thing about the new game taking place in a wider area than just the Asylum is that there will be context for all the gargoyles that were found everywhere in the Asylum. If you want to read the press release, it follows.
