Batman: Arkham Asylum

Good effort by the dev team. Probably won't buy it but it was better than I expected, just not quite my kind of thing really. Ran on full whack as smooth as butter which surprised me a little. Rather nice visuals too.
 
I had a blast on the demo, it was enjoyable but not a certain purchase. I wasnt a big fan of the way the stealth worked. Wasnt a deal breaker though. Seemed to lack a bit of depth.

Was waiting for a replacement card from my bank (which arrived this morning). Not too fussed about missing the weekend 10% off, but the price has now been raised to £24.99.
 
I just got a new GTX 285 2GB and also started getting the " Value was either too large or too small for an Int32" bug. Couldn't test the physx :(
 
I was watching some random person playing this on the 360 last night whilst looking for Blizzcon streams on JustinTV and I like the look of the open map system where you can go roaming throughout the Arkham plot of land in between storyline objectives. That was a nice surprise, but I still got the feeling that all the general grunts were the same musclemen mold and then you get to a set piece with a mini boss. Which I assume you'll repeat again and again until the final showdown with Joker.

The amount of upgrades and extra skills you can buy for Batman looked really good though.

The guy playing seemed to be getting some stick in the chatbox for being a pirate but he said he had a friend in gamestop who sold it him early.
 
Apparently due to Physx stuff.

It was so close to be delayed, I was counting the days and now its not going to be released before I have to go back into the educational system :(
 
Just watched an unboxing of the Collectors Edition, and immediately cancelled my pre-order. The batarang is some cheap plastic tat, and it's locked onto the stand. Didn't expect to be throwing it around, but still would have liked it removable.
 
Played the demo for the PC and yeah it's quite good.
Will get this as soon as it's out. My son loves Batman so I guess I'll be playing this all the time!!!
