That's exactly why.

Also, they just inducted LoZ into the Gaming Hall of Fame.

I bet this year is rigged to the bone.

HerpaDerp · December 10, 2011, 07:38:49 PM

other than that, i've yet to see arkham city. Is there anything to do after you beat the campaign? Arkham Asylum was good until I beat the story, then there was nothing to do.
