It was a dark and stormy night; the sun had just crested the mountains; as you looked over the wind swept plains; without a proper atmosphere a game with great story and fantastic game play will not entice a player to keep going. As such we took the following nominees and rewarded one for the best atmosphere of 2011:
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Batman: Arkham City
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The action game; it is way to generic of a genre so we combine it with adventure to bring you the Action/Adenture award. This allows us to narrow it down a bit better, and add more awards later. Lets looks at what this years possible winners are:
Batman: Arkham City
Assasins Creed: Revelations
Infamous 2
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Saints Row the Third
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
Talk about one hell of a night. First Bruce Wayne gets tossed into jail by Dr. Hugo Strange, Joker tries to blow Batman up, and then Joker infects him with a a fatal disease. And to think that was just Batman’s first hour in Arkham City. So how does the Bat go about surviving this horrible place and how does everything turn out? Welcome to the subject of this installment of Game Over. (And as in previous installments, there are spoilers abound. You’ve been warned!)

So what would you do if a portion of your home town was seized by the government, walled off, and then turned into a maximum security prison? Probably not much, you may send a letter to you congressman, maybe join a protest for a while, and eventually go home and eat Cheetos. Good thing Bruce Wayne is not you. He actually joins politics to try and get this place taken down. Bruce does not agree with Arkham City and wants it shut down. Too bad he gets gets tossed into the place himself as a result of this. Welcome to the start of Batman Arkham City my friends; the night has started poorly and it is not about to get any better.

Batman sure has a large list of villians lined up for this next game. So far in trailers we have seen Joker, Hugo Strange, The Riddler, and Two Face. Now they have released a new trailer that shows another two villians, one we saw coming, and the other, not so much. So sit back and enjoy this new Arkham City trailer.
