No Multiplayer for Batman: Arkham City
/rumors.
Since the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum was announced, many speculated that Arkham City would feature multiplayer. Those who were counting on it will surely be disappointed with this bit of news.
From Rocksteady Studios game director Sefton Hill:
"There have been a number of rumors circulating about a multiplayer mode in Batman: Arkham City so let me start by saying, once and for all, that Batman: Arkham City is a "single-player only" experience. Our thought process behind this was fairly simple: when we investigated adding multiplayer we asked, 'If we use all of the energy that is required to create multiplayer and instead focus this on the single player, would that deliver a better overall game?' With the game now coming to the final stages, I can honestly say it would not have been possible to deliver Arkham City the way we wanted to if we'd have added multiplayer."

Panamanian politician looks to end video game violence
 |
| (via Laestrella.com.pa) |
And by violent, he means just about every game ever played.
Proposal 111 in Panama's National Assembly seeks to seize all sales of video games that demonstrate violence and Velasquez has signed his name on the bill.
This wouldn't be the first time Velasquez has caused controversy. Last year, he made an attempt to ban Halloween from schools in Panama, claiming the holiday only prompted violence in children.
Should the bill pass, gaming franchises such as Grand Theft Auto, Gears of War and just about every other game you can think of won't be seen in Panama for much longer.
