Touching down on PC, Bats makes the granddaddy of superhero entrances

Sep 15, 2009

As a rule of thumb, superhero games are, almost without exception, complete rubbish. We’re talking the officially licensed ones here, not stuff like Freedom Force or City of Heroes. You know, ones that have often have “The Game” tacked on as a subtitle. Would Batman: Arkham Asylum have been as good if it was riding the back of a big movie license? ...

Batman: Arkham Asylum - hands-on

Could this be the best super-hero game ever?

Jul 31, 2009

Think of a great superhero game. No, not a good one — there are plenty of those around — but one as essential as, say, Grand Theft Auto IV or BioShock. You’re struggling, right? That’s because there aren’t any. Or rather there weren’t any until Batman: Arkham Asylum came along. ... » Read Full Batman: Arkham Asylum preview

Crocker discusses the reason for the game's short delay, its inspiration, story, gameplay, and more. Have a listen below! ... » Read Full Batman: Arkham Asylum preview

Batman: Arkham Asylum - updated impressions

Could this be the first good Batman game? We take a closer look

Jan 30, 2009

We're about to commit what some geek groups would consider heresy: Maybe the world was better off not having a game based on The Dark Knight, Batman's wildly successful and delightfully dismal summer movie outing from last year. Yes, we saw the movie (four times, thanks, and that's not counting IMAX viewings); yes, we loved it. But what are the chances a rushed-through-development movie tie-in would have actually been good? ... » Read Full Batman: Arkham Asylum preview

Batman: Arkham Asylum – first-look

Take a stroll through Gotham’s garden o' villains

Sep 26, 2008

The Caped Crusader has had something of a dodgy past both on the silver screen and in games. From the ace 1989 Tim Burton gothic epic that grossed over a quarter of a billion dollars domestically to the franchise-murdering Joel Schumacher colour-saturated camp-fest Batman & Robin that barely limped past the $100 million marker, Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego haven’t had it easy. ... » Read Full Batman: Arkham Asylum preview

I've just played the demo for this game, this definetly is THE BEST batman game ever made, I love the creepy cool high def way they made it look. The only thing i didn't really like of it is that the action is kind of flat... like slow u kno??? but i've also heard that you can unlock new moves and all, I just hope that is at least 30 hours of playin as batman, I have a PS3 so i get to play as the joker too (sorry Xbox owners) haha, I cant wait for this game to come out, and again, this game is definetly the best batman and superhero game ever made, I'd like to congratulate the makers and designers of this game, and KEEP IT UP YO!!! lol
