I was wearing my GLHB shirt while watching this, made me laugh. Glad to see another Video Review. These videos are a rare treat. High praise for this is most welcome. Looking forward to more Batman.

Neither of the games in this series have appealed to me...despite really enjoying everything else Batman!

I didn't enjoy Arkham Asylum, so I guess he's saying I won't like Arkham City either.

These Gamespot style video reviews disappoint because it's just a produced and edited monologue. I'd like to see the quicklook combined into a review so it would lead to a meaningful conversation.

Awesome!

Can't wait!

Though part of me still wish they'd do a "Batman: Gotham City" instead of this "Arkham City" idea.. seems like such a silly take to bring back elements from the earlier successful game AND the IP name (Arkham serving as a recognizable brand for the mainstream audience)

I'd imagine that you'll get your wish in the next one. I can't imagine they went with Arkham City by accident. A transition of Arkham Asylum -> Arkham City -> Gotham City just seems too obvious.

Now that I've actually been playing the game for a quite a while...yeah! I could really see it!

Let's hope so! :)
