The Daily Hotness: Holy videogames, Batman! photo

This little indie title about some dude dressed up like a bat came out this week. He fights this guy who looks like a clown. There is also some furry chick in it too. I'm sure you've never heard of it, but all the cool kids are playing it. We've got this video that will show you how to play it, if you're into that sort of thing.

We've also got a new episode of Podtoid, a review of The Baconing, Bejeweled comes out for Xbox Live Arcade, there is some shady business in Norway involving Battlefield 3, someone sings about Miyamoto, and  a sweet trailer for the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III.

Is that guy who played the first Robin still alive?

Furry chicks are hot. And not furry furry chicks, but you know, furry chicks.

The most exciting thing for me about Arkham City is that I can play as Tim Drake. True story, bro.

@ GRIVEN - Can you play as him in the open world or is he only in the challenge maps? Just wondering if he and Nightwing are playable in the main game. It would kick ass to go through the city with them.

Btw, Batman's better for navigating open areas but I seem to do better with Catwoman in the combat rooms. She doesn't have as many moves yet she's faster with everything in general.

Plus her skintight alternate outfits motivate me to win. Yup, it's like that. #sexistbuttrue

@Sir Legendhead:
As far as I know, you can only play as Robin on challenge maps. I've heard prisoners referencing Robin though, so maybe he does come into play at some point during the actual campaign.

I think it's easier traversing the city with Catwoman. Her whip jumps seem more accurate than Batman's grappling.

Truthfully, I've been playing a while, but I'm not that far in the story because I've been doing the Riddler and pay-phone missions.

@ GRiVEN

Have you tried the AR missions yet? By the time you're able to complete those and get the achievement, you'll be deadly accurate with his gliding capabilities. The first few that unlock his grapple boost are relatively easy but the rest are among the most challenging parts of the game.

And as far as Robin appearing in the story, eh, I'll just let you find that out for yourself. ;)
