[Official] Batman: Arkham Asylum

/lol at the people who say this game is GotY material. The demo was ok at best, and there are already much better games that have come out this year, and there are more on the way.

I love how you sum up some of the best games this year! MW:2 will sell the most this year not sure if it will be my GOTY. That might go to Dragon Age.

[Victor Rambo]

There are not many good games released/coming this year.

2007 was the best year in gaming IMO.

Modern Warfare, Gears of War, Crysis, Bioshock, Orange Box, DiRT, Stalker, Unreal Tournament 3, NFS Pro street(lol).etc :p

I hope Batman AA pwnz :D

Calling some of those "best games this year" just shows what a terrible year it has been so far.

I'm really enjoying the demo. Yes "enjoying" - I'm not a gamer really and usually crap at games. For example, am stuck on the bit where there's like 7 guards in a room full or gargoyles...

But yeah, enjoying this game :)

That part was tough! I died 3 times there. The controls were a bit odd at first because I'm used to playing FPS games. Anyway, I'm stuck between buying it for my PC or PS3. I'll probably get it on PC. It'll definitely look better with my Radeon HD 4870.

Got it for 360, really enjoyed it, can't wait for it to come out. Believe it or not but this would be the first Batman game iv ever played lol.

[christophulus]

Tried it on the PC, liked it a lot. Not sure how varied they can make the combat though, might get a tad repetitive after the first couple of hours?

[Gamerhomie]

Wish they could have implemented some of the effects without PhysX. I have an ATI card. Just going to have to get it on the 360.

[Ebi]

tried the demo both on ps3 and pc and the pc one does indeed look better, and the game is great but i am trying to keep games away from pc now so i just preorderd the PS3 one

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

PC mods are win :(

But now that I'm getting my Batcave in Home for getting the PS3 copy, I'll just keep my ?23 pre-order :))

ps. The game does have atrocious hit boxes though:laugh::

Hiya!

Just got the demo of Batman Arkham Asylum, and I have to say I'm impressed. It reminded me of the older swing around and stab them kind of games such as "Bloodrayne 2" etc.

Anyone else had the chance to experience it yet?

^lulz @ hit boxes.

[Dave Diller]

Just played it, pretty sweet but the demo gives me blue balls. I may be purchasing this.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Those PC mods are pretty nice. But the hit boxes are even funnier! :laugh:

[Minifig]

Did anyone find the Riddler trophy in the demo?

I'm a little upset.

I found it but it doesn't unlock it so you can see what he looks like in the demo. :(

[+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹]

There are two riddler trophies in the demo (That I have been able to find) I think there is a third, but it is unreachable (in the section where you have to take the guards down before the demo ends there is a grate high up near the ceiling at the far side where you enter.)

Thanks for providing a link. It's definately worth it man, whoever did the voiceover for Heath Ledger in the game done a wonderful job. The graphics are also brilliant.

Heath Ledger? The joker in this is not a Heath Ledger type joker - more of the comic book version...
