For as long as I can remember, I have been playing racing games. It all started back in the early eighties, when my father stupidly brought home a Fountain Force 2 videogame system, unwittingly kicking off a habit of mine that would soon take over my life. One of the games dear old Dad brought […]

Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of the more awesome superhero-based games to appear on a game console in recent years, so expectations were undoubtedly high for the sequel Arkham City.
