Batman: Arkham Asylum

It's really hard to get excited over any games based on movies, comics, etc. Too many bad experiences :(.

Will keep an eye on this one though, the trailer was actually pretty good.
 
meh. not really as cool as the dark knight. from the little i see the fighting gameplay looks average to weak

as one said earlier, hard to get excited over movie games
 
Not looked at anything to do with the game but this made me chuckle - email header from Game:

Holy GAME Exclusive Preorder Bonus, Batman!

It comes with a 14" Batarang ... could be more fun than the game if it works :D
 
There seems to be a bit of a fuss about this game regarding magazines and reviews. According to some people the producers approached the magazines to say to them

"If you give our game above 90% then you can print the review earlier..oh and you need to put our game on the front page....If you don't..well then you can't print anything as we have a review embargo"

I'll try dig up where I read this to offer more information.
 
Will opt for a demo first, if available, before I make a decision though it does have my interest. If a game like this was done in a similar style to Max Payne then it could be very good and just up my street.

The same thing supposedly happened with Tomb Raider: Underworld. Magazine writers weren't allowed to publish scores below 90% until the weekend was over. Made me happy to see it crash and burn to be honest.

On topic: I'm undecided whether to pre-purchase this. I really like the sound of that batarang, but I'd pretty pretty ****ed if the game turned out bad.
