  • Batman: Arkham Asylum

    http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/13/ei...ylum-official/

    According to Eidos, the game's story, penned by Batman Beyond's Paul Dini, will center on a trap set by Arkham Asylum inmates for Batman as he delivers Joker to the infamous prison.
    Could this be a decent Batman game? That'd be a first in a long fucking time. The last good one I can remember is the Animated Series one for the SNES.

    I don't remember a good one. I played the NES Batman game from the '89 movie. It was lame. I played Batman Forever. God awful. I played the animated one on the Genisis. Mind numbingly horrific. I refuse to believe there will ever be a good Batman game. Well, maybe the Lego one.

      Yeah, I got the Genesis version on Gametap because I thought it was the SNES version. The Genesis version fucking blows hard.

        Thank God they weren't the same. That Genesis game was a loaf.

          At least Paul Dini is on it. That's something.

            Yep. If anything the story should be decent. But I want a fun playing Batman game dammit!

              Except for the awful forced-scrolling last level, I always really liked the Batman Game Boy Game. I imagine if I booted it up again I'd hate it.

                Some screens here. I had no idea they were using this to bring Riddick into Bats world.

                  Well, the Joker looks cool. The exterior shot of Arkham was pretty awesome.

                  But Batman looked like shit. Or looked like he had to take one.

                  Sorry to say, but the first good Batman game will involve Legos.

                    It just sucks because those Lego games, while fun for like an hour, just don't do anything for me.

                      Same here, Rob.

                      I like those screens. The Joker looks pretty fucked up.

                        True, I would rather it be less Lego, more Goddamn Batman.

                        Unfortunately, DC gives up the license to Eidos. Too bad I'll never see a Rockstar North or Bethesda Batman.

                        But maybe I give Eidos a bum rap, seeing as how they made the epic/epically retarded Nightmare Creatures back in the day. That shit was awesome. So maybe it will be good. Who da fuck knows?

                          And Mark Hamill is confirmed as the Joker. Nice.
