@hbkdx12: Thanks dude! I think I'm on the right track now,

So, back in '09 I stupidly breezed through Arkham Asylum and missed a lot of the Riddler Challenges etc. I just got Arkham City yesterday and I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly.

What I can make out so far is that there's Riddler Trophies scattered around Arkham City, these are the green trophies you pick up, right? Do I just need to pick these up, or do I need to anything else? Some are hidden behind grates or fences, I assume for these ones I tag them and go back for them later, à la Metroid/Castlevania?

There's also Riddler Trophies in a bear-trap-like contraption? How do I break into these?

Then there are these Riddler "Pads" all over the place, they seem to trigger off things, what are the point of these?

And finally how do you solve the Riddles? If memory serves me correctly, I remember hearing Riddles throughout Arkham Asylum. I haven't heard any as of yet, saying that I'm still very early on in the game. Will I know when I hear a riddle or do I have to do anything specific to hear them?

I'm really sorry for the n00b questions, I just really want to give this game all my attention this time around.

Thanks in advance.

@Ravenlight: It's presented in a beautiful box :). Unlike the one we received over here.

Is it me or did a lot of the characters look off? Not off, but weird-looking? Ezio's hood looked computer generated and so did Kratos' face. Love the concept though.

I played Ico a long time ago and never played Shadow of the Colossus. I was trying to remember if there is any speaking in either game.

The reason I ask is that I'd like to order the Japanese Limited Edition.

@Tiger_Buttercup: Yeah, no worries dude. I might be on later tonight, if you're on I'll send you a game invite.

1. Anyone know why are you forced to use the new Tactical Defending in ranked games? Makes me think they realised Legacy Defending was broken.

2. Why are the menus still as slow as hell, the game's starting to feel really bloated. It feels like they've been building upon the game since FIFA 09 and not removing any of the fat that's built up over the last few years.

3. For some reason in Head to Head Seasons online it doesn't save my controller configuration, meaning I have to redo it every single time I boot up the game which is rather annoying. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this problem, I had the same problem with the Early Release also.

4. What is up with the old commentary clips? I heard Martin Tyler mention that Inter won the Champions League with Mourinho last season, it's shocking these kind of things aren't fished out by the QA team over at EA - absolutely shocking!

Apart from these little niggles the game's pretty awesome.

Anyone seen this?

Totally agree with the majority. Loads of great moments, Marcus finally felt human and Dom's death was up there with Maria's from the previous game. And finally, I love that we got some closure, I say this as I'm watching the credits roll, I hope I don't end up eating my words...

Also, Carlos Ferro dropping F-bombs whilst standing on the counter in GAME - legendary!
