    I don't like any of the Batman games but this one looks like it might be good. It's developed by Eidos, they say it will be one of their best games but that doesn't mean much yet lol Teaser The Joker First look at Harley Quinn http://kotaku.com/5216268/a-look-at-arkham-asylums-harley-quinnGameplay footage |

I gotta say I'm not into stealth games, but we're due a good Batman title. It was such a studio screw up to not have a Dark Knight game, how much money would that have made...
Is that Mark Hamill doing the Joker voice again?

I'm with you guys, there's something about the Batman character that i much prefer over Spidey and Supes any day of the year but to date all of the games have been rubbish, and first impressions this looks like it could be awesome.

Just played the demo, was a bit of a let down to be honest, the combat is ridiculously easy, literally just hit one button repeatedly and batman starts doing some crazy combos, looks good but isn't very satisfying.
This was the PC version though, maybe the console versions are better.

Among my circle of off-line friends the reaction is mixed. Either 'great', or 'not-that-great-but-at-least-it's-Batman'.

Mmm so another case of style over substance then?

Well, it got a 9.0 from Gamespot and 9.3 from IGN and that's a first for a Batman game.

It's very good. And seemingly the demo doesn't do the full game justice in part because the full game is pretty open world, with a spectacular looking island and you don't get to even see it.
I've ordered the game.

That's the cheapest I could find it. Not exactly a bargain but you could sell it on in a month for virtually the same price on ebay.

In what I've played so far, it's well scripted. Mark Hamill is really good.
