Today is Halloween Thanksgiving Christmas New Year's Day Valentine's Day St. Patrick's Day April Fools' Day Mother's Day Father's Day The 4th of July something called The Feast of St. Roch Labor Day. So if you're playing Batman: Arkham City and you don't believe in cheating by changing your system's internal clock, go…

I had a chat with Sefton Hill, chief game designer at Rocksteady Studios, in Las Vegas last week. The man's team just made two terrific Batman games, so it was time we talked.

Want to play as Catwoman in Batman: Arkham City? You'll have to buy the game new or pay for the privilege to do so, publisher Warner Bros. says. That's right, it's the on-disc single-player content that's being put behind an "online pass" style scheme.

I love custom 360s. The best custom jobs take into account all the details of the console, transforming the 360 instead of simply applying a new skin.

It wasn't until 72 hours later, when I flew home and resumed an old save file in Batman: Arkham Asylum that I truly appreciated the innate quality of brawling I experienced in Batman: Arkham City, a game I missed at E3 but, at long last, got my paws on at Comic-Con 2011.

There may be over seventy years worth of Gotham City imagery to draw from, but that doesn't mean the developers of Batman: Arkham City were allowed to get lazy.

We've seen the impressive Batman: Arkham City in motion, thanks to an extended demo that shows off the caped crusader's new dive bombing, wall-punching tricks. Now it's your chance to (maybe) be impressed by Arkham City's gameplay.

How can Batman: Arkham City look so much better than its unexpectedly great predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum? Handsome concept art of Gotham's streets and skylines, both gritty and gorgeous, may provide clues to developer Rocksteady's talent for making Batman look so good.

Batman can't fly. Not in the comics. Not in the movies. Not even in the upcoming video game Batman Arkham City, despite what you might infer from some of the game's screenshots.
