Batman Arkham Asylum: The Launch Trailer

With previous trailers having covered just about every aspect of Batman: Arkham Aslyum, this one takes a different angle, highlighting some quotes from pre-release reviews.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Trailer Explores History

It's hard to believe that the media onslaught of Batman: Arkham Asylum is almost over, what with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions due next week on August 25, but don't fret.

Between the ability to actually play the full version of Rocksteady's detective comic brawler--PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC demos are already out--and the part where there may still be some new screenshots and trailers for PC version, since that edition isn't due out until September 15, I'm sure we'll make due. Somehow. Hopefully. Read more »

Batman: Arkham Asylum Trailer Gadget Heaven

The Demoman: Batman: Arkham Asylum

As the Demoman, it's eerie just how much in common I have with Batman, even beyond the fact that both our names end in "man." Batman is a vigilante, operating outside the law to bring criminals to justice. The Demoman doesn't play by society's rules either: when installing a new game I often accept the terms of the license agreements /without even reading them/. Batman uses a number of high-tech gadgets to fight crime, and I own one of those Magic Bullet food processors that lets me make guacamole in under six seconds. Most importantly, Batman's parents were brutally murdered, and my parents once had some library books stolen from their car. We're practically the same person!

So, it was with great personal interest that I downloaded the demo of Batman: Arkham Asylum. The demo begins with Batman hauling The Joker to the asylum, where the sickest and most twisted of Gotham City's criminals are held and treated--sometimes for up to a week--before they manage to escape again. Therefore, it's not much of a shock when, roughly four seconds after being admitted, The Joker has taken complete control of Arkham, turning it into a funhouse of armed thugs. Read more »
