months fall off the calendar, the wait for Batman: Arkham City is getting a
little easier. It’s safe to say that almost everyone is eagerly anticipating
the game’s release this October. Warner Bros. has released a snap of the box
art; it’s not much, but when considering the game, anything is better than
