General Gaming News Bits

 

The Gotham City Impostors Beta has been going strong for the past week and I personally have had quite a bit of fun playing it.  For those who were not lucky enough to get an access code for the Beta, the wait to play Gotham City Impostors will not last much longer.  PSN users will be able to download the full game on February 7, 2012 and Xbox Live users will be able to download the game on February 8, 2012.

Details on Gotham City Impostors from the Official Press Release:

Gotham City Impostors is an original first-person shooter where up to 12 players battle for control of an unhinged Gotham City overrun by impostors inspired by the DC Comics characters Batman and The Joker.  Players can engage in deliriously fast paced, uniquely vertical, and completely unconventional urban warfare where progress supports leveling up and access to a mind-boggling array of customization options.  Fans can unlock new Bats or Jokerz  Impostor costumes and build their own specific load-out from a huge assortment of traditional and homebrew weaponry, equipment, and perks. Gadgets such as the Glider Rig, Grappling Hook, and Spring Boots give gamers unprecedented mobility options, while support items like the Bear Trap, Boomerang, and Body Armor open up new tactical options.  The game will feature maps and modes inspired by DC Comics’ Batman license.”
