Batman: Arkham Asylum.

[Grayson]

Remember: Robin DLC available today. You get 2 maps, Robin as playable character in all challenge maps and 2 additional Robin skins.

 

EDIT: Just spent like an hour playing as Robin, the 2 new maps are VERY cool (better than the ones that came with the Nightwing DLC). The combat map is almost 2D side scroll type of thing, its hard to land finishers to get big points but its a really nice way to change the combat gameplay a little bit (surprise "boss" battle at the end).

I strongly suggest that you get this, and if you don't, at least look at some youtube videos of Robin in action, the animation is AMAZING. Robin's combat style is exactly what you would imagine (exactly what I imagined anyway ), just wait until you do a triple counter or a counter near a wall/ledge. He has some unique and interesting gadgets too, and the Red Robin skin is fuckin' awesome.

I do love the Red Robin skin , but since I downloaded it , Nightwing seems to move slower ,I don't get it, before I was kickin ass ....

More DLC incoming.

I haven't played any of the challenge maps yet, guess I'll have to give the Iceberg Lounge, I got free a go.

I know what you mean, I've been playing with Robin and when I switched back to Batman, he seemed like a fuckin' tank. Don't think Nightwing is slower, just each character has different "pace"

There's a new skin up on XBox live (and presumably PSN) and it's free.

BATMAN INC!

Yeah, the skin that should've been instead of that shitty Earth One thing.
Still, it's free and looks boss too.

Also there's a DLC bundle for 1200 M$ points, consisting of the Robin, Nightwing and skins packs.

Pretty good deal, but shitty if you already bought any.

Plus, the previously pre-order only challenge maps, Iceberg Lounge, Joker's Funhouse and Batcave are available bundled for 240 points.

In addition, Hill revealed a cheat code that will allow players to use any Batman: Arkham City skin in the single-player campaign at any time. Normally, skins are only available in single-player mode after the entire campaign has been completed, but this code will allow players to use alternate skins at any time.

"We also know you want to deliver justice on the streets of Gotham as Batman in your favorite skin, any time and all the time," Hill wrote. "So using the below cheat, you can select any alternative Batman skin and play them in the main game, without having to complete the full game."

To use the code, the following button combination must be pressed on the Main Menu screen after a save slot has been selected:

Left, Left, Down, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down

If the code is entered correctly, an audio cue will sound, and the option to select a skin will appear upon continuing the game.

Great skin (wish it was Zur en Arrh, DC one million, or movie DK) but can't complain if it's free.

As soon as I get home I will watch some youtube videos of the joker and batcave challenge maps to see if they're worth the bucks.

So, I'm playing Arkham City on PC now since I got it for Xmas.  The cheat code for all the skins is driving me crazy though.  I enter the code after loading a save game, and I get the audio indication that it worked, but never get an option to choose a skin.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  Would really like to play as 70's Batman here...

[levere]

Not sure it works the same on the PC, but on the consoles, you still have to buy the skins. The cheat code only lets you use them before you beat the game. Normally, you have to beat the game first.

[darthfoley]

Ah, that might be it.  My impression was it just opened them up for use.   

[JSayonara]

Yeah, you have to own the skins first.
But they're pretty cheap as a set.
