Batman: Arkham City shows off Catwoman in action

Add as a preferred source on Google

Gotham City just can’t catch a break. Seriously, the insurance for a homeowner in that town must be astronomical, what with the nearly continuous stream of costumed psychopaths and frequent events that threaten the lives of Gothamites. Perhaps people should consider moving. Tulsa is lovely this time of year.

But the citizens of Gotham City’s misfortune is our gain as the upcoming sequel, Batman: Arkham City, once again prepares to throw you back into the life of Batman as he faces off against some of the worst of his rogues gallery. But this time Bats won’t be alone: Joining him as a playable character is Catwoman.

Catwoman will have her own storyline within the game, and according to Gamestop (who snagged an exclusive look at the game), she is part of the single player campaign, unlike the addition of Joker as a playable fighter in the challenge modes in Batman: Arkham Asylum. As the story progress, you will switch between Batman and Catwoman, but unlike Batman, who relies on martial arts and strong attacks, Catwoman will use more acrobatics.

Check out Catwoman in action below, and look for Batman: Arkham City on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on October 18.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
