Batman: Arkham City DLC coming on December 20

By Ryan Fleming November 28, 2011

Although Rocksteady is likely hard at work dreaming up the next Batman game, they aren’t done with Batman: Arkham City just yet.

The Bat-developer loves the idea of downloadable content. So much so that a respectable chunk of the game, ala the Catwoman content, was available for those that purchased the game new. So it isn’t all that surprising to see Rocksteady continue to push out new content for fans that are hungry for more.

Earlier today, Rocksteady announced via its Twitter feed that a new challenge map featuring the Batcave is scheduled for December 20. Also available on the same day will be the Joker Carnival and the Iceberg Lounge, two challenge maps that were originally released as pre-order bonuses only.

Depending on how and where you purchased your copy of Batman: Arkham City, you may have some downloading to do if you want all the content. Along with the Catwoman content that was included with the game, both Nightwing and Robin challenge packs have been released. On December 6, a skin pack featuring several different looks for Batman will be released, followed on the 20th with the new challenge maps.

Rocksteady has already confirmed that there will be more Batman games in the near future, which makes sense, seeing as how Arkham City is among the year’s biggest hits.

The best Power Armor in Fallout 4 and where to find each set

Fallout 4 key art featuring the power armor suit hung up in an armory.

From the very first Fallout game, the Power Armor has been every wastelander's dream to pilot. This hulking suit of armor can make your normally squishy Vault Dweller nigh unkillable in Fallout 4. But there's more than just one type of Power Armor, and each one has different stats and requirements to wear. Not only that, but some you might find one piece at a time and need to build yourself, while others can be found as a complete set. If you want to make even a Deathclaw think twice about attacking you, only the best Power Armor will do. Here are the best suits in Fallout 4 and where to find them.
Raider Power Armor

This is the only Power Armor in Fallout 4 that even a base-level player can wear right off the bat. While that's great, it does mean it's the weakest option out there. The best stats you can get with it are 500 damage resistance, 250 energy resistance, and 1,050 radiation resistance for a total rating of 1,800. It's great for the early game if you can snag one, but is quickly outclassed by everything else on this list. A guaranteed spawn for this armor is in the cave right beside Skylanes Flight 1665 on your map.

3 great Xbox Game Pass titles you should try this weekend (April 26-28)

The current gen version of Fallout 4.

This has been a pretty busy week for new releases, with the likes of Another Crab’s Treasure, Stellar Blade, Sand Land, and more coming out. Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s video game subscription service, has also had quite a busy week. Three games in particular stand out as must-plays this weekend for those who want to delve a bit further into the service rather than spend money on a new game.

One is an excellent single-player Star Wars game from 2023 that you might have missed because of how busy last year was for big releases. Another is a new real-time strategy game that earned buzz on Steam in the lead-up to its release. Finally, there’s a Bethesda Game Studios classic that just received an Xbox Series X update that you can experience free of charge via Game Pass. If you're looking for a new game to start this weekend, but don't feel like buying something new, give any of these a try.
