Yes, you read that title correct.

Rocksteady, not content with blasting out an instant classic this year, have decided to continue their endeavour to ruin the lives of all 3rd-person superhero platformy type game developers, and announce the second coming iteration of their Batman franchise.

Video below, revealing very little other then the tagline that “Arkham has moved”, and the domain arkhamhasmoved.com.

  3. Thats great n all but did u see the vid for Halo Reach. OMG Halo has just done it again. Completely reinvented itself to become the forerunner of shooters.

  4. Has it really reinvented itself?? Are you talking about the game engine as it's more likely an upgrade than brand new engine, a reinvention is more about game play surely than graphics.

  5. We don't really know yet how much of a reinvention its going to be, the leaked gameplay engine looks really impressive but the squad mechanic rumours will be the most interesting. I don't think Halo has to really reinvent itself. Its been the no1 played game on Live for nearly 3 years and when MW2 dies down a little it will be back on top again.

    Id be more interested in the change of tone in the campaign, seems to be a little bit starker and darker then other Halo's and deals with the annihilation of a planet so hopefully it will get a little bit more adult. I hope Master Chief has a little Cameo also.

  6. Batman:AA was game of the year for me. Really looking forward to the sequel. As for Halo, Halo 3 was good, but not great (Dunphy mode off). I skipped ODST, but will definitely look out for Halo:Reach around Autumn (and yes, I know what I did there).

  7. Hmm maybe we can have a poll on here for GOTY.

    My vote would go towards Uncharted 2
