Batman: Arkham City Achievements revealed

A featured post on OXM UK revealed the achievements for Batman: Arkham City. We all know that achievements are part of the 360 experience but let’s not forget that 99.99% of the time they translate directly into a trophy list for the PS3 version (only exception sometimes being the addition of a Platinum trophy and extra ones not available on the 360 version, as was the case with Limbo).

Take note, as there will be some spoilers ahead!

Batman: Arkham City – Mr. Freeze Reveal

Many remember him for his awkward participation in the movie Batman & Robin (1997), played by none other than the Governator himself in all his fuzzy slippers glory. This time, it seems like Mr. Freeze is really here as a great menace to The Bat. So be sure to check out this new Arkham City Reveal Trailer.

It really seems that Dr. Victor Fries is stepping up his game in order to save his beloved wife. Do you think he’ll be the cold blooded killer to put down the great Batman, or should he change his name to Mr. Breeze? We’ll all find out when the game comes out 10/18/2011 (that’s October 18th in case you’re not American).

New Arkham City Trailer Shows Penguin

We’ve all seen the concept art, but not much else was known about The Penguin’s part in the sequel to the much acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum. In this exclusive GameSpot trailer we can see Batman fighting a whole lot of baddies as usual. Some takedowns and combos seemed new to me as well.

Staring the trailer we can see Penguin without his usual top hat and some of “the best” henchmen money can buy (his words, not mine). Also new is the massive undead super villain Solomon Grundy, but I have no idea how this powerful enemy (known to be as strong as Superman on occasion) could’ve been imprisoned by a short fat guy with a umbrella collection and seemingly average chains.

We can all find out more about what’s their part in all this when Batman: Arkham City hits the stores on October 18th.
