Batman Arkham Asylum

Just curious to know if anyone is getting it.

[Rockefella]

Nope.

what the heck?!?!?!?

[Black Edition]

well, what does it mean?

Well I played the demo and quite enjoyed it. The combat system is pretty tight (and brutal). I may give the full game a rent at some point, but I've got a short list of other games coming up (IL-2 BoP, Dirt 2) that will probably be getting a purchase from me before anything else.

Nah, never liked superheroes.

The special edition sells package is epic. But I have no interest in the game itself, and since I have no interest in Batman, the package is pretty useless to me. So no, I won't be getting it.

[clutch-monkey]

seems like a worthy rental. not a buy with the upcomng releases though.

Not much good games coming out any time soon. Only game I'm looking forward to right now is the new Call of Duty. Would've got the Prestige Edition, but then they decided not to release it for PC. Have to get Hardened Edition then...

I've got the demo, haven't gotten around to playing it yet. To be honest, I'm gutted they used the old joker (with which I'm unfamiliar), and not the new Heath Ledger one.

This isn't meant to be connected to the recent films. It's based more off of the comic series. This is fairly apparent when you watch the intro to the demo........the batmobile and batman's outfit are clearly not similar to his movie hardware.

i was a Batman ( or Bat girl ) when i was a young un.

If you don't know what it is just use Google, don't be lazy.

The only reason I'm actually considering it is because it's going to be $38 CAN and not $70. So far it's gotten great reviews.

Not really looking forward to Call of Duty myself, it's the same game, just with slight modifications every time. I might buy it when it drops in price significantly, but it can't be all that great, in my opinion.

Arkham Asylum sounds like a great game though. I've always liked Batman, but there hasn't ever been a decent game out in a long time. I'll take a look later on. And of course, I'll wait for a price drop. $60 for a new game is insane. $30 is more like it.

Just got mine this morning for $40 CAN, and that's with our 13% tax. I played it for about 20 minutes before work and it was fun. The combat system is great, when you land a punch it actually feels like you land a punch.
