Breaking: Batman Arkham City Might Be Kind of Okay
I don’t know why Rocksteady is releasing yet another Batman: Arkham City game trailer. I mean, the game comes out on Tuesday, and it looks like not just the best comic videogame ever, but possibly one of the greatest games ever made. I mean, I bet most of us have pre-ordered it already, so a trailer right before the game’s release is pretty much preaching to the choir at this point. I guess if you haven’t pre-ordered Arkham City — or, somehow, was on the fence about it — this video might finally sway you. However, if that’s the case, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you not like awesome videogames? Do you hate joy? What the fuck is your problem?
