‘Batman: Arkham City’ Wins Four VGA Awards
Apparently sometimes folks like to jerk on the chains of genre fans because they know they’ll get a reaction.
During the recent Spike Video Game Awards show, something like that happened.
First, Batman: Arkham City held its own within the crowd of nominees, taking home four awards across multiple categories.
“Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Interactive received awards for Best Action-Adventure Game, Best Xbox 360 Game, Character of the Year (Joker), and Best Adapted Game,” reported MTV.com. “The Character of the Year award was well-deserved, considering Mark Hamill‘s amazing performance, but the Best Xbox 360 Game award was a bit odd. Arkham City isn’t exclusive to Microsoft’s console, and considering there are a number of Xbox-exclusive titles.”
However, what happened during a CG Joker’s acceptance of his award is what has the Internet abuzz.
“The Clown Prince held up a book with the words “Batman: Arkham World” written across the front,” the site reported. “Joker then subsequently threw the script into the trash.”
Is this a teaser for the game’s sequel?
“While there are plenty of sites wondering if this is a teaser,’ I highly doubt it,” said the site’s Matt Clark. “Rocksteady will undoubtedly make a third Arkham game, but it won’t be called “Arkham World” — because that name is dumb.”
How did Arkham City stack up against other games?
“Only Portal 2, Valve’s action-puzzler, snagged more honors than Batman: Arkham City,” noted the site. “Valve was awarded Best PC Game, Best Multiplayer, Best DLC, and two Best Performance trophies for Stephen Merchant and Ellen McLain who played Wheatley and GLaDOS, respectively.”
