As the barren summer approaches...

After two weeks of huge shooters, this week sees the release of... not much at all, actually. Patient gamers can finally get their Bathooks on one of last year's best games, Arkham City, including the last of the DLC for the game. That's really about it though. There are no Australian releases this week, according to MightyApe, and Europe is getting a pair of games that will attract little attention worldwide.


North America -- May 29th
Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition

[via Gamestop]

Europe -- June 1st
SBK Generations
Summer Stars 2012

[via MCV]

For those wondering, the Arkham City GOTY Edition comes to Europe on September 7th.

Bought the Catwoman DLC cheap on Ebay when I rented the game so when the GotY reaches England I'll probably give it a rent and just work through Harley Quinns Revenge so that I can at least maintain my 50% in it. Don't think I'll bother with the challenges till I actually get around to buying a copy as I really can't see me doing them all in relatively quick succession.

At least your inaction is shame inducing. That's gotta be worth something, right...

I change it every couple of weeks to keep people on their toes. I haven't a clue where I got this one from but I deemed it suitably irrelevant.

However, the Arkham City GOTY will not behave this way.

I'll pick up the Harley's revenge DLC sometime when it oes on sale probably seeing as how I've finished everything else from the game besides calendar man.

Still have an extra Catwoman DLC if anyone wants to make an offer???
