The new trailer is fun. Hugo may have a large presence in the game, but I do think Uncle Bingo will screw him over at the end and do things his way. I'm hoping, anyway.

Official Playstation Magazine Australia review:

Batman: Arkham City is not only the best superhero game ever made, it's one of the best games ever made full-stop. It takes the already superlative original and gloriously expands on it. It's a deeper game, more complex, more inventive, more mature. It brings the caped crusader's world to life better than any comic, movie or television show before it.

Presentation: Endlessly creative, perfectly moody, and technically flawless. This is Epic's Unreal engine pushed to its absolute limit.

Sound: Alternatively foreboding and frantic, the game's orchestral soundtrack matches the on-sccreen action perfectly. Voice acting is brilliant.

Controls: Complex and initially overwhelming but also logical and responsive. It'll take a while to get used to them, but once you do it feels perfectly natural flinging Batman around.

Replay Value: Immense. A massive main quest, dozens of side missions, Riddler challenges, secondary game modes, and DLC will keep most people occupied for months.

VERDICT: We can't imagine how a superhero game could be better than this. Absolutely sublime.

10/10

Mighty big praise there. I knew this would be one of the Batman events. GOTY beckons.

AC main theme (heard on the main menu)

I really like the original AA main menu theme. It was dark, dreary and atmospheric. This one is good too. Still has the Zimmer/Elfman mix going on. It aims for a different vibe, and it's a vibe of energy and excitement. It works a treat. I'm glad they didn't just repeat what they did in AA. They gave us something else across the board.

Copyrights blocked me from watching.

Yeah, the only vid of the main title I can view in the U.S. is a mashup with the Hugo Strange trailer:

Very different feel from the Arkham Asylum soundtrack, especially in the ending.
