*WINNER* Win Batman Arkham City: Game of the Year Edition (PS3) with Ster Kinekor

UPDATE: I forgot Monday was a public holiday, so I have extended the entry and draw date until Tuesday

Courtesy of our friends at Ster Kinekor Entertainment, we have one copy of Batman Arkham City: Game of the Year Edition (PS3) to give away to a lucky MyGaming forumite.

The GOTY accolade is much deserved. Back in October 2011, when the game first launched, we managed to coax MyGaming reviewer Dan Parmenter down from his belfry long enough to scribe a review.

Batman: Arkham City is very much like Arkham Asylum, but on crack. Batcrack, if you will.

It’s enough of the near-perfect formula achieved by Asylum to make it all feel like a sensible continuation, but with such a dizzying amount of new content it’s bats**t insane.

Simply put, Arkham City is more than just the Batman game it was in Asylum: it really does feel like you’re the Dark Knight himself doing his best to get by in a very real, very dangerous Gotham City.

There’s one thing you should take away from this that sums up the game better than any amount of reviewing ever could: In Arkham City, you will have the pleasure of making Batman punch a shark in the mouth.

And that, fellow gamers, should be reason enough for you to pick up what is surely going to be the best superhero game we’ll see for a very, very long time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The competition starts now. Good luck and have fun!

First off, I would replace Morne Steyn at Flyhalf with my physical prowess. Then perhaps deliver the textbooks in Limpopo with the Batmobile. While I am at it, I might as well go clean up in Hillbrow and the rest of the JoBurg CBD. Optional goal: buy the ANCYL and turn it into a build-a-bear franchise.

Rid the country of all the taxi's, which will reduce road accidents and fatalities, get all the taxi drivers jobs at the koeberg power station cause taxi drivers are like cockroaches and as far as I know cockroaches are immune to radiation. oh and implement a better bus and rail system to make up for the lack of taxi's and finally build a special rocket to take julius to the moon (one way ticket BTW).

If I had all the power and money of Batman, I would better South Africa for myself only, by buying all the nice stuffs I have always wanted. Sorry to the rest of you, but I am Bat-asshole!

Buy Lonmin and fire all the strikers (there are A LOT of people looking for work), fix and improve Koeberg, toss Malema down the LazarusPit.

I would definitely do something to provide for the kids, food, education. And also build communities with better schooling opportunities.
Our impoverished youth today seem like they are being abandoned by our so called "government". Time to shift focus and perspective back to the important areas. Without educating our youth today, we will have no future

I would take over the goverment, get rid of corruption and crime and fix the financial issues and transport in the country.

Will start by setting up a desalting plant to get clean water then start by building and planning of my own town. Even buying the desert and rejuvenation of the plant life and setting up farm land.

I would drive around in my batmobile and spread my awesomeness all over South Africa. The boost in morale and public image for South Africa through this would bring in higher foreign investment, boost consumer & manufacturing confidence levels, increase hiring and thereby saving the economy just through my supreme awesomeness ~"whistling:

With my great wealth and intellect I would start an national crime fighting party of Specially Designed cyborgs that are half robotic half dead people called The DEATH bats and with my physical prowess and some more wealth i would overnight turn the parlement building into BAT-BUILDING

I would build 3000 schools, 20 uni's and I would build a lot of trains, also I would become a tenderpreneur and build a Gotham City in SA...oh and I would have 2 batmobiles XD

I would also fight crime, I'll use the cellphone scanning tech to track and trace the criminals! STFU Morgan freeman!

I would use my influence to start a new opposition party, I'll call it the B.A.T party, then I would use my superior intellect to figure out what the acronym stands for, that would be plausible, and not give away my secret identity.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to others, I would use my secret bat-identity to stalk and expose corrupt government officials.

Ok well, as cheesy as it sounds - I would use my vast quantities of wealth to fix the education system first and foremost, then use my awesome technology to help make the SAPS more effective, then sell some of that technology to create jobs and make crap-loads of money for the economy. I think that's about it.

If I had the wealth of Bruce Wayne, I wouldn't be entering this competition. Due to this fact that I am, I use Batman's weatlh to improve South Africa's Transport System making it more efficient and safer, put in underground rail systems similar to the Tube in London. Have the Bus routes upgrade with dedicated bus lanes and and upgrade the highways and national roads to allow for more lanes and higher average speeds.

Then I would also invest in the Education System, and being 144 of 152 doesnt cut it anymore. Making sure every child has access to the internet, books, and sports programs so they can obtain a better standard of living.

I would buy out Telkom, Eskom and metrorail, and do away with the goverment intervention cause they arent assisting us in any way, and make them world class facilities. Thus please the populous.

For the crime side, I would use my abilities to clean up streets all around south africa, build private prisons to hold the excess prisoners that the president keeps releasing, and make sure that they have rehabilitation in the prison system. As well as allow the prisoners to work in prison so they have something when they leave so they do not need to revert back to crime.

I would educate people in as many neighborhoods as possible and teach them ways to fight and/or reduce crime in their area. Secondly, I would fix up security and quality of public transport and all roads.

Id turn Cape Town into Gotham City and Poppa Wheellie with the Bat Bike 24/7!!

I'd create an institute where I'll train selected people to train under me and learn the ways of Batman! Then after it's all complete I'd send them out to fix our little crime problem with all the gadgets and equipment they'd need. If the government asks why I am allowed to do this, I'll answer "CAUSE I'M BATMAN!"

I would definitely focus my energy and money on crime. Would even use the money to fund (closely monitored funding) the police and other security services in the country. And personally, well, if I'd be able to make a similar functional, bullet proof bat-suit, I'd fight crime as well wherever I live.

Though instead of a bat mobile, I'd be driving a black for2 smart car

I would go the secretive vigilante route as well, starting at the highest crime rate areas and work outwards from there. With the money I'd buy out the Eskom, SABC & Telkom and provide these services free for all. I would then also start a political party and run for president and have a groupie following of crime fighting sidekicks and minions.
