Play As The Agile, Stealthy Catwoman In Arkham City
Batman: Arkham CityThe Dark Knight is a powerful and popular hero. But there's another character that might draw your attention in Batman: Arkham City.
As revealed in a new GameSpot preview, Catwoman will be fully playable in the upcoming Batman quest. Players will even be able to upgrade her skills and abilities (including armor and various techniques), and the developers are taking great care to make Catwoman feel fresh and new in comparison to Batman's skillset. She'll even move differently, which isn't exactly surprising. But here's the best part- while Batman is always obliged to "do the right thing," so-to-speak, Catwoman doesn't really care that much about justice. Heck, she's Batman's enemy so you can imagine the differences in playing both characters... Also, don't forget that Catwoman can be veeeery stealthy, so take advantage!
As if we needed another reason to play Arkham City.

"Rocksteady's been holding back one pretty big reason fans should be fiending for the game: playable Catwoman. And, to be clear, this isn't "playable" in a special side mode like The Joker was in Arkham Asylum, this is "playable in the story" playable. We got an overview of this and a host of other new content at our sneak peek which even included some hands on time."

It might make sense to play as Catwomen first, sinces she's a criminal who robs and heists jewels or whatever, and then afterword play as Batman who puts a stop to her wrongdoing.
We'll have to see how it all works out though. ;)

But Casino Royale changed all that. Layers upon layers with symbols, emotions, story, finer details, memorable moments, what a masterpiece of a movie.
The underwater scene where he lose his one love (and thus create the backdrop for the rest of the movies) still gives me the chills just thinking about it.

Peace.
P.S. LOL! One of the adverts on this page says inFamous 2 for the Xbox. I always knew that the folks at Harvey Norman were Xbots. That's why I haven't bought a single item from them in... ever actually. Plenty of other electronics stores to choose from.

That'd be cool enough if you simply unlocked her after beating the game, and she had her own little side story and mission types. ;)

my Asus 3D monitor they gave to me for 600 when every other store, even ebay wanted 1000!

they get allot of "special" models from manufactures and thats why there so expensive on them.
thing about harvey norman is since they are such a big store and sell so much crap they can afford to undercut prices.
99% of the time i go in there and say can you give this to me at this price?
they say sure!
if i was to do that at another store like EB, JB or someone else 99% of the time they would say nah sorry thats too low.
HN can because they sell so much other crap they can make up for the lost revenue, but other stores since they dont sell as much as HN they cant.

Although I'd never say no thanks to *any* good Marvel game I actually think it's more fun to play as the lesser known heroes. That's what made X-men Legends and the Ultimate Alliances so much fun.
Some day they will get it right. It just have to happen. Maybe not this generation, but Marvel Gaming Heaven awaits in the horizon!

What I wish though, is that they could forget the youngest share of the market now and then regarding their games. They took a baby step in the right direction with Wolverine, but generally the Marvel games are just too apparently designed to be safe within the "age 16" rating with good margins.
The average age of the Marvel fans of today are quite possibly twice that age, and many of their best stories are for an entirely different audience. They need to transfer the magic of their stories over to their games.

I used that trick just the other day to take some pics of my (female) Home avatar (head shots, I swear...no, really).

That always turns me on.
And is Catwoman exclusive to certain platform like how Joker was exclusive to PS3?
