From here in out I’m going to be giving away story and plot points. If you intend on playing the game and want to remain spoiler-free, stop flipping reading, you idiots. For everyone else, welcome.
A little re-cap before we begin – Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to Rocksteady’s 2009 hit Batman: Arkham Asylum, in which you are tasked with stopping the nefarious Joker as he breaks free and takes over the institute for the criminally insane. Locked inside the asylum with The Joker and many other members of Batman’s colourful cast, you are the only thing that stands in their way of the total destruction of Gotham City.
Arkham Asylum is a brilliant game. Crafted with such care and attention to detail, it finally gave Batman, and superheroes, a videogame they could be proud of. It would of been my Game Of The Year, if not for a stellar Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves. To say I was excited about Asylum’s follow-up, Arkham City, would be an understatement. Let’s get to it, shall we?

Yes, the summer lull is over and Autumn is here. Sit back, get comfy, and let me tell you what games you need to be playing in the following months.
10. Resistance 3
The first of a load of “3s” in my rundown. Resistance 3 is the follow-up to game that was the sequel to a title nobody cared about. Resistance was meant to be Sony’s answer to Halo. it didn’t come close. Anyway, we’re on a third and it looks a solid, if unspectacular, title.
Resistance 3 is released exclusively for Playstation 3 on September 9th. Read more »
