First Batman: Arkham City Review Coming In GamesMaster

My anticipation for Batman: Arkham City knows no ends with just a month and ten days to go until its release, so any new news comes as a great thing to me and should do too for Bat fans. The British video games magazine publication GamesMaster has confirmed that their next issue will feature the world exclusive first review of Arkham City before any other mag or website in October. Issue 243, featuring the review, will be released on Thursday, October 13th, rating the game a whole eight days before its worldwide release. GamesMaster previously got an early review in of Batman: Arkham Asylum a good fortnight before its release, and while many gamers disputed whether the mag awarding the original game at 96% was just WB Games bribing them or a way to build hype, many more scores of that magnititude came on release day, so it's safe to say that whatever GM gives the sequel you can trust it'll be a just and fair score (I'd wager it could go even higher if the game remains innovative throughout and develops enough of its storyline to still make it surprising). Issue 242 will feature a final preview of Arkham City, as well as a new look at BioShock Infinite and the world exclusive review of FIFA 12, and is out this Monday, while Batman: Arkham City will retain in stores nationwide on October 21st.
