Is that vanilla, or enemy within?

In Batman: Arkham City's Catwoman DLC Catwoman is a playable character and is extremely sexy. One of her moves is a sliding attack where you run and then slide into enemies in order to knock them over. Functionally, Batman has the same attack, but Catwoman's is kicked up a notch.

When Batman does the sliding attack he does the kind of slide you see baseball players do when they slide for a base, it looks OK and it is powerful, but Catwoman's sliding attack is just as powerful and several times more sexy. What she does is; 1) she gets on her knees, 2) she leans really far backwards so she is almost lying down 3) she spreads her legs, all of which is sexy individually, but when put together and accompined with her battle moans is probably the single most sexy move in the Arkham Series.

Infinite Space has a few nice touches, some of which I touched on a few pages ago. But one of the nicest things is that when you see ships in cutscenes they are always to scale with each other. So in a heroic scene in the middle of the first act when your ship flies between two NPC ships you get to see that your flagship (probably a battleship, the best you can buy at the time) is about as large as the Cruiser that an NPC brought from a much more technologically advanced part of the universe. But if you spent hours grinding fame (or FAP as its shown in the post battle screen) and use any of the ships unlocked through fame you will end up dwarfing both.

Also I like that when the game makes a big deal of how much more advanced the Large Magellanic Cloud is than the Small Magellanic Cloud (where you start) they aren't just making poo poo up. In actual gameplay even the smallest, weakest class of ship from the LMC is equal to the best, biggest SMC ships in some areas, and vastly better in others. Things like the most reliable SMC battleship having 38 armour and 1220 health at base, the first LMC destroyer availible having 67 and 1840 in those stats, and the first non-pirate LMC battleship you get having 78 and 6700.

The game even pounds it into your head just how much more powerfull they are by having you encounter some just after a chapter where you take down an entire nation's military, when you're probably feeling good about yourself. Then you encounter a single LMC pirate vessel that shugs off all of your shots and only avoids becoming a horrific battle of attrition because the NPC escort has much better guns than you have acess to. Then you find out those pirates are the ones who can't cut it in the LMC and came here to pick on easier prey. Its really drat good at driving home just how outclassed you are.

So something like...this?

Sadly Kirby's tone as he says "HIIIIII" is nowhere near as infuriatingly insulting in the new 3DS game.

Is that series based on those lovely Fables comics? My favorite thing was watching my left-wing comic-nerd friends slowly grow more and more shrill in their defense of it as the author let his lovely politics leak into the story.
