Xbox Live Arcade Update – Bats, Jokerz and Shank sequels


There’s a whole lot of action worth checking out in this week’s Xbox Live Arcade Update. It may be a little difficult to choose between Shank 2, the sequel to the brutal, 2D brawler and Gotham City Impostors, the competitive, 6 on 6 online multiplayer title set in the Batman universe.

You can also test drive the Kinect Disneyland Adventures demo that was released a day ago as well.

Read up on both below.

Gotham City Impostors (1200 points)
A 6 vs. 6 first person shooter, Gotham City Impostors is a multiplayer game unlike any other, giving players the opportunity to rebel against conformity as they customize their own characters. Posing as amateur vigilantes or villains, gamers create their own Bats and The Jokerz characters using unprecedented customization options including insane costumes, homebrewed gadgets and a wide range of traditional and imagined weapons.

Shank 2 (800 points)
The fan-favorite 2D brawler is back in action with Shank 2. Shank is forced on the offensive wielding his trusty arsenal of weapons and combo moves to protect those close to him. Shank 2 raises the bar from the original, creating an amazing comic book visual style and combat system which redefines the 2D side-scrolling brawler.
