Batman: Arkham Asylum Thread

[Fox 6]

HAHAHAHA after you hang guys up with the upside down takedown you can use a batarang to cut the cord and drop the guy onto the floor and knock him out!

Another thing I have to make a comment about is the voice work.

I have always said that Kevin Conroy is my Batman, and its nice to see him back in the role again.

Mark Hamill sounds a bit different as the Joker, but I guess this Joker is a tad darker than the previous one.

And of course, Harley Quinn's voice actress return.. though Harley... er developed in certain areas.

Okay finding new ways to freak people out is awesome.

I used the Inverted Takedown to tie one of the goons up.

His friend came over to check out what happened, and guessed called a 3rd one over.

The third one actually goes underneath the body so decided would cut the batrope, and the 1st body actually falls on top of him. Takes him out and freaks out his friend big time.

Two updates

First is for the Canadians,
seems like Walmart and a select few stores will be selling the game for 39 bucks on launch day... don't know why but that is one hell of a deal.

Second new trailer, which doesn't deal with the game at all, more the story of the asylum.

9.3 from IGN holy cow
I didn't expect such a high score.

Some more reviews are pouring in

Rest assured, I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that Batman: Arkham Asylum is unquestionably the best licensed game I've ever played. At the end of the day, however, that's a fairly low hurdle to clear -- it better reflects the game's quality to say it's one of the best stealth-action games ever made, and easily the best video game 2009 has had to offer thus far.

Thought this would be a cool vid for people who don't know stuff about Arkham Asylum to check out.

GT's review

Good to see its north of 10 hrs, though they show one too many boss battles.

[magus113]

So I guess we won't be seeing BaB in GT until Arkham Asylum is completed.

And with good reason! It's fucking great!

The question is, who will beat it first!


I think it will be between Combine and SquEARL, seeing as how I don't know anyone else.


Earl is nearly unemployed and Combine is just...Combine

For some reason this race reminds me of hobo fights.
