Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security home for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.
Ubisoft’s Rocksmith is a music rhythm game that aims to teach gamers how to play a real electric guitar. It won’t feature standard difficulty settings; instead, it will automatically adjust to the player’s skill level.
Move compatible and featuring co-op play, Everybody Dance will feature competitive dance battles, a 20 player multiplayer mode and in-depth routine breakdowns.
