He's been the voice of the joker for some time, has been since the first animated batman by WB and has voiced many times for video games, he's quite a respected voice actor...

By all accounts this will be his last joker though... ?? Shame, as he nails the laugh really well, Batman the red hood (cartoon) the joker was voiced by John DiMaggio who did a decent job, but Hamill was and is still very good at the joker..

First couple of magazine console reviews are in.

10/10 in both - http://www.gamerankings.com/ps3/981375-batman-arkham-city/index.html

Little surprise there... I'm expecting this to be GOTY to be honest..!! I do hope rocksteady learnt from last time for the PC and haven't gimped the AA options and locked it out for ATI owners, as that was rather annoying last time... It was eventually patched out, but really..!!

Looking forward to this one even more and more..

Fingers crossed the game is actually this good and that these reviewers haven't been paid for.

Same here, turns out it will be released after BF3, so I'm not going to be getting this any more on release, I will wait a for a sale.

Ive got 2 vouchers for this game sitting right here from my new pc build , really am looking forward to it i must say !

Got mine registered with my Steam account - looking forward to it but it comes out at the same time on PC as two other giants, Uncharted 3 and Oblivion. Assassins Creed 3 is also due out shortly after, and while that would normally be a Day 1 for me it's getting relegated to the discount Window.

Publishers never learn, they staggered everything over the year a couple of years back and then returned to releasing everything within a month.

Really want to get this, but want Skyrim a lot more. Also waiting for this game to be £15 or less (which it will be within a couple of months).

Bought a Steam voucher for this from Ebay and juding by the Metacritic score for Xbox and PS3 it should be a cracker.

95 score from 30 reviews on Xbox

97 score from 12 reviews for PS3

Brilliant, i hope so. At least it isn't as close to Skyrim as it was before!

Adsta · 17 Oct 2011 at 19:58

I have to say really looking forward to this

Looks awesome.

Pighardia · 17 Oct 2011 at 20:02

Greenman Gaming and Amazon still say 8th November

Have to rush through it before Skyrim arrives

Well if that's true then that's a Tuesday, which is usually the US release and we get it the following Friday which is the 11th.

Also the 8th is the MW3 release day and I can't see anyone releasing a game on that day. Even EA are releasing their biggest of the year before that with Battlefield 3.

And the 11th is Skyrim's release date isn't it?

Yep 8th of november MW3 world wide multiplatform release. I don't know why Modern Warfare series of games have a simultaneous release?. Normally europes release dates allways fall on a friday and most other regions on a tuseday.
