Gotham City Imposters

[Silver Nemesis]

New downloadable Batman game coming to XBox 360, PS3 and PC.

Batman: Arkham City may be the center of superhero attention right now, but the Dark Knight has another trick up his sleeve. Warner Bros.' development studio Monolith Games is working on a downloadable multiplayer Batman title called Gotham City Impostors.

In this Batman-themed first-person shooter, players take on the roles of ordinary people (one is dubbed "the Office Bat") pretending to be Batman and "impostors" of dastardly bad guys. At a presentation at a pre-E3 event this week, we were shown an image of the Joker flipping the camera the bird. Oh, and he wasn't wearing any pants.

In a mode we watched called Psych Warfare, players defended a battery hooked up to a brainwashing machine while the opposing team tried to destroy it in a capture-the-bomb-style back-and-forth. According the WB and Monolith, Gotham City Impostors will be highly customizable, and players will be able to tweak their characters' body styles and weapons.

Gotham City Impostors is planned for release on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC.

This sounds like Batman returns to his dark age of gaming.

As for a Batman FPS, this isn't the first. There was a fan made Doom wad in the old days, which was pretty well made for what it wanted to be.

Check out the Penguin and Joker boss fights.

I think this game will be a lot of fun. I love the humour in it.

Yeah don't expect Arkham quality, more like Lego Batman; a fun time waster.
