Prepare for HARLEY QUINN’S REVENGE

hqrevengeThe end of ARKHAM CITY pissed off many Joker fans all over the world, though we all knew that the Clown will sometime would get over his head with his own insane plans and one of them would fire back.  Well, in the ARKHAM CITY world Joker is dead and no one is more pissed about it than HARLEY QUINN:

Harley Quinn is not happy. After seeing what kind of damage Batman dished out on the Joker in “Batman: Arkham City,” she’s decided to take matters into her own hands and seek revenge, using a big mallet to get the point across.

As previously hinted in a list of PS3 Trophies, WB Games and Rocksteady Studios confirmed today a new downloadable content pack for “Batman: Arkham City,” titled “Harley Quinn’s Revenge,” will be available starting next week for around $6.99 (or 560 Microsoft points). She’ll fight her way through a series of missions, earning trophies such as “How’s It Hanging?” (where you clean up the Dry Docks) and “Breaking and Entering” (where she finds a way into a secret base). No word yet if the DLC will include a face-off against Batman, but that would certainly make things interesting

jokerz2Hey Jokerholics,

The new Batman game of GOTHAM CITY IMPOSTORS has been posted in SONY PS3 STORE and is ready for download.  The game is priced at $14.95 but you can download a free demo.  The Full Access Key is what costs money to buy so you can play the whole levels.

One word of caution:  I bought my copy and I’m having technical difficulties with my installation.  The specialists at PS3 Store told me it could be a corrupted file so be careful with the download.  It does not affect any other function of the PS3 console, but the game freezes and don’t start. I’ll let you know when I fix the problem and keep you all posted.

DC’s Ian Sattler talks ARKHAM CITY LOCKDOWN

A few months ago, I reported that catching on the success of Arkham City, WB was launching a new video game bringing Batman against some of his most deadly foes in a one and one-on-one combat situations.  Among them, Batman will face Joker once more.   Well, the app is available now through your iTunes account to download to your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.  This is the game DC’s Ian Settler’s report on DC BLOG:

I was worried I’d never see daylight again. That’s seriously a concern I had while playing Batman: Arkham City over the holidays this year. We all love comics (obviously) and we all love video games, so the amazing combination of Batman and brutality that was Arkham City had a lot of us spending quite a bit of time sitting inside with our game consoles. This week I’m happy to bring good news for those of you looking to expand the Arkham City experience and possibly breathe some fresh air at the same time. Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is an app available now exclusively for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. What’s that, you ask? Take a look:

“Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced that the Batman: Arkham City Lockdown App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is now available on the App store. The App brings the Batman: Arkham City franchise, one of the most highly acclaimed and best-selling videogame releases of 2011, to the App Store for the first time featuring stunning graphics and original combat gameplay created exclusively for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

“Developed by NetherRealm Studios, creators of Mortal Kombat, Batman: Arkham City Lockdown features several of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, including The Joker, Two-Face and Solomon Grundy, as well as i0S-exclusive character Deathstroke, and engages players in one-on-one combat as they seek justice in a variety of Arkham City environments.”

So not only does this game give me Deathstroke(!) and Solomon Grundy but also all-new environments and the ability to take it with me wherever I want to go? I’m going to stop typing this All Access right now and download the App. Seriously. I’ll see you all next week. Go play Batman: Arkham City Lockdown. Deathstroke!!!

jokervgaAs it is expected of video gaming (as it has happened in animation well) the creators of games can play around with the characters, even make it possible for them to accept awards in shows like this.  I had a picture, but my friend Candiss Gandy was kind enough to forward me the video of the whole acceptance speech Joker made at the VGA.  It is just fulled of zanny fun.  Please enjoy this funny video (and look at what Joker is holding in his hands.  Special thanks to  for posting this videos on YouTube :

 

Could they really be thinking of making an ARKHAM WORLD? And now that Joker is dead…who should be the main baddie in this new project? I don’t know. Maybe Joker is pulling our legs, but he might have a son really soon that might be as crazy as he was if Harley is in charge or his ‘education’. Who knows…something tells me this might be leading to the JOKERZ….

Time to check all the clues left in ARKHAM CITY about what’s going to be going on next… As a bonus, I’m including a video of Joker’s nomination for the VGAs

Arkham City Lockdown to play in your iOS System

batmanlockdownDo you own an iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch  and can’t have enough Arkham city in your life?  Well, search no more.  The people at WB Interactive Entertainment have created ARKHAM CITY:  LOCKDOWN for you to play in your device.  It is a one on one combat game and you can even fight Joker.  here is the report by Daniel Lopez for INTOMOBILE.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are games that finally got gamers to believe that not only can superhero games be good, but if developed by the right studio, it can sell millions and be in the running for Game of the Year by many a publication. Those of you who are looking for more Batman goodness can now look to your iOS device as Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have released Batman: Arkham City Lockdown.

First of all, you should be aware the developer behind Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is NetherRealm Studios and not the developer of the console & PC versions of Batman: Arkham City, Rocksteady Studios. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t in capable hands as if you played the recently released console version of Mortal Kombat, then you’ll know just what kind of content NetherRealm can deliver.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown has players assuming the role as Batman himself as he faces off in one-on-one combat, similar to that of Infinity Blade, against the likes of The Joker, Two-Face, Solomon Grundy and iOS-exclusive Deathstroke. Players will be able to upgrade Batman’s arsenal, as well as gain access to unlockable content like additional skins to play with. For those of you how have an Apple TV, you’ll also be able to play Batman: Arkham City Lockdown on your HDTV using iOS 5′s AirPlay feature from your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S which is a welcome addition as the game looks gorgeous.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is now available for all iOS compatible devices and is selling for $5.99. If you’re a fan of Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Infinity Blade, then this might be a game worth looking into.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown ($5.99) – [iTunes Link]

Premise: The inmates have escaped and Batman has his hands full defeating an army of henchmen and some of his most iconic villains. Scour the rooftops and the seedy underbelly of Gotham City through a series of one-on-one battles with the Joker, Two-Face and more, as well as the Batman: Arkham City Lockdown exclusive — Deathstroke. Choose from several Batman skins and power-ups as you punch, kick and combo your way to cleaning up Gotham City

Here is a video of what  you can expect in the game:
