Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
I remember reading that the game was nearly complete and was on time for the original June 23th date but a delay for polishing purposes is not a bad idea.
I guess with other games that came out in May (UFC, inFamous) and are coming out in June (Prototype, Ghostbusters, Fight Night Round 4) would kind of hurt sales.
This looks like a great game and can't wait for the release.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
Since I'm so sure I'm going to play this game, I'm avoiding the preview coverage. I know games aren't like movies, but does anyone else think they might be giving too much away? Since all of the rogues have been redesigned, I think it would be cool to encounter that in the game. They'll make for some nice surprises. Ultimately, it's no big deal, but I want to go in this game knowing little to no more than I know right now.

I really wish they'd get all of the main villains into the game, because everything looks great and I'd really like this to be the "end-all" Batman game that I've been waiting for.

Not sure about the reliability of this guy, but if his story his true it kind of scares me off this game.

I dunno if I'd trust a website that has the following message on the bottom of the page:
But that's just me. 
Who knows? Maybe it does suck. Maybe it doesn't. We'll just have to wait and see.
Everything on this blog is the personal opinion of the RAM Raider, and is all lies (Apart from the comments, which are the personal opinions of the commenters. And are all lies.)

After playing the demo, it was fun but I don't know if I could do it over and over the entire time.

Yeah, the demo was fun bot limited to the combat only. If the game were only a beat-em-up, I could see it getting old. Instead it seems to be a stealth game with beat-em-up sensibilities. that sounds sweet and I hope they can pull it off.

Is anyone actually shocked about the rumors that EIDOS is offering an early review for anyone who promises a cover and a 90% score?

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
I think they've done this before, most recently with the more recent Tomb Raider game. They told places that if they were going to give it a bad review, wait a week to publish it so the metacritic score wouldn't be too low.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
Too bad. The last Tomb Raider was actually good despite the camera issues and the disappearing rain in one level.
Actions like that make it very difficult when reading reviews. That's a problem for people like me where mom and pop rentals seem to have phased out games and so we rely on reviews.

Wanna beat up some skeletons? Only at Gamestop!

We're not much for pre-ordering stuff (honestly, if you're a store, shouldn't you have things to buy?) but when we saw that the Collector's Edition of Batman: Arkham Asylum included a batarang, it was, frankly, out of our hands. But the pot just got even sweeter with GameStop's announcement that those who pre-order the game will get an exclusive Challenge Map.
The map, "Dem Bones," will see Batman face off against an army of Scarecrow's minions. But frankly, the above image contains all the information you need to make a purchasing decision: Batman. Versus. Skeletons.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
I preordered the CE for PS3 few months back from EB/Gamestop so i hope current preorders still get "Dem Bones" challenge map.

Re: Batman - Arkham Asylum
Help me decide : PS3 CE for $81 after ECA discount or regular version for $48 after the discount? I never spend that much on a gmae, but it seems like a pretty good deal for what you get and compared to the MSRP for that one.
