Also the fact that you left out Mass Effect 3 completely invalidates your opinion on quality games.

I just started playing the first one (just started encountering inmates with machine guns). I wish Batman didn't have a policy against killing people, I would have liked to shoot some people. It's alright so far, great voice acting (lol Mark Hamill) and I hear the game gets quite good.

cant wait :D

the first one was one of the few games i've beaten and then immediately started a new playthrough. i remember once you got the combat system down you could pull off some pretty rad combos...and yet it seems they've improved upon that system even more. cant wait. cant wait. cant cant wait wait.

I think it was pretty refreshing to not hold a gun for once.

It's more of a mood-setting thing than anything spoilerific. It doesn't show any real gameplay bits.

Some time ago it was announced that anyone who pre-orders at Tesco will get the Joker DLC for free.
Now it turns out that anyone who preorders at Best Buy, GAME or Gamestation will get the Robin DLC.
That last article also talks of 6 different DLC packs being tied to retailer preorders.

This is just stupid shit that should end right here. People just miss out on content because of these retailer exclusivity deals :(
