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

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
