Batman: Arkham Shadow hands-on: A fantastic Batman LARP without open-world fluff

After the first hour of Arkham Shadow, I'll be shocked if this isn't our pick for best Quest 3 game of the year.

Long-time Arkham fans will appreciate the combat: You sneak or charge into a group of foes and then build up your XP multiplier by successfully timing hits and using a variety of gadgets without getting struck. (Image credit: Camouflaj)The game brings back Roger Craig Smith (Arkham Origins) as a younger Bruce Wayne and Tara Strong as Harleen Quinzel (not Harley Quinn, yet). Mark Rolston (Deathstroke) now voices Jim Gordon, Troy Baker (Joker) is a new character that I'm guessing is Harvey Dent, and Khary Payton (Killer Croc) now stars as Ratcatcher.
