well i read it and WOW im looking forward to grappling myself on to a helicopter, that sounds so cool. everything else does not seem so spoilerish but it does give insight of what i can expect in the game, and i can say this will be more challanging that what i did in the first game; i love it!!! bring it!!!

New info from PSM3: - Setting a way point marker on your map activates the bat signal. “You scan the horizon and find a Bat Signal beaming up into the clouds as a marker.” - When in detective mode your environment stays solid instead of turning into outlines like the original, Arkham Asylum. - Certain villains remain highlighted after switching off detective mode. In this case it was a Riddler thug. - The Penguin runs Gotham’s Natural History Museum. - His monocle is now the end of a broken bottle. “It’s too dangerous to remove, but he kind of likes it anyway.” - Dax Ginn. - Penguin has been in “Arkham City” from the start, Quincy Sharp sent over a number of men to evict him, only for him to kill them all. Sharp then fenced him in the city with all his goons.

Penguin looks great so far. I must admit, turning his monocle into end of a broken bottle is pretty clever idea. Yes, it's a bit of a weird and needless change, but it's still clever.

New info! - The ENTIRE game takes place at night. (ONE NIGHT, to be exact) - You can spend XP on around 30 different upgrades; and with all of your gadgets and most of the upgrades returning from AA, you'll also be able to upgrade some tools even further - one such upgrade for the improved Batclaw allows you to "snatch a weapon from an enemy's hands" - Other locations that appeared on the in-game map include The Bowery, Steel Mill, GCPD, Amusement Mile, Church/Medical Center, Ace Chemicals, Park Row, Tyger Storage Facility, and Wonder Tower - "Getting 100% completion - which presumably includes completing THE NEW CHALLENGE MODE - will take 50+ hours, says [Sefton Hill]."
Other information from the article - Penguin does in fact have a "vent" in his neck as a result of smoking too many cigars (confirmed by RS) - At some point in the game, we'll be visiting a desolate, abandoned train station; in the photo shown, a giant clock dangles from the ceiling in the center of the room (may mean nothing, but worth noting) - Other notable locations shown in photos include Gotham Casino and Gotham Cable News Building, but RS won't say if those are entered at some point during the gameplay
- While gliding, you have much more control and can actually grapple to various objects midflight - a flagpole, a rooftop above - which gives you that "boost" we've heard so much about; on the flip side, you can also do the opposite and dive toward the street to build momentum before pulling back on the left stick to swoop back up - Apparently failing to operate this movement efficiently affects gameplay, as the authors note "we squeeze the left trigger, which cancels our gliding...panic turns to relief as we spaz out on the A button and manage to restore just enough of a glide to land clumsily on the sidewalk..." - Batman now has considerably more range on his grapple gun, allowing us to latch onto objects more than 150 feet away
- The Riddler trophies located in the game unlock various challenges that Riddler's created for Bats (this is after you interrogate the thugs and actually get the trophies, these challenges open up); the example used in the magazine preview was the hostage rescue previously mentioned; these trophies are said to be distributed in the "hundreds" around Arkham City - Also, "these challenges aren't short: in fact, the one [OXM is] about to do is a 15-minute, multi-step puzzle vaguely reminiscent of the Assassin's Tomb scenarios in AC2"
- There is a moment at Crime Alley where Hugo will talk to Batman about his parents' death

Get ready for news overload! Batman: Arkham City is getting its own LED-lit, bat-logoed controller: OMG! Those are so awesome!
Will Bat themed controllers be sold with the game as some kind of set or will they be sold separately?

Is anyone else reading the Arkham City Comic? Carlos D'anda art and Paul Dini writing I bought the first issue. Pretty good. I think it will be a great bridge between games.
