Anybody else giving it a try? I've already got it reserved, and this just makes me want August 25th to come that much sooner. The combat is satisfying as hell, and its a blast to sneak around freaking out baddies taking them out one at a time.
If they are free updates and not charged updates, then silver or gold users can download them free of charge, which means by proxy, "free". Seeing as Batman is a Single player only game, I fail to see what XBL charging has to do with anything...? Fail.
I got a nice surprise at 1am before going to bed by finding out the demo was released. Played on PC. Awesome demo, gameplay was everthing I thought it would be. Loved the sneaky aspects especially. Batman is a true badass, I can't wait to play the full game.
I don't know if Japanese best buys are having the same deal (obviously currency differences etc.) But I know for us (canada / us most likely as well) There is a sale, during the release week, Batman is $38, how could you go wrong with that? DAY 1!!

demo was awesome like everyone has said. I like the stealth and climbing aspect of the game, instead of just another batman beat-em up. Looking forward to playing it :) I downloaded the demo on ps3 and it looked really good now I have to see what it looks like on 360.
Haven't picked it up yet but definitely look forward to it... dunno if this is posted yet but Toys-R-Us has their lovely $20 gift card with purchase. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/23721/Batman-Arkham-Asylum-for-PS3-or-Xbox-360---20-Gift-Card-or-30-GC-for-Rewards-R-Us-members-at-Toys-R-Us-60 Apparently they also have a…
Been waiting for this demo myself, so with a bucket of icecream under one arm and my softest pillow under the other i ventured out into the demo. Visuals blew me away, especially the first scene when they pan over Arkham Asylum. Everything else in the demo is amazing, there are nice combat that will make you go "BAMM,…
I have to admit that, for a six hour download, I wish there was a bit more. The disparity wouldn't have been as bad if I wasn't on glorified dial-up, but still... At least let us try one of the challenge maps. Overall though, the experience came off as pretty polished; might buy it if I have spare time. It will allow me to…
ElysiumGX: Dunno what you're smoking, Arkham Asylum looks considerably better than Bioshock, if you're talking quality of assets / textures / models / characters / lighting... pretty much anything except the water. Bioshock had nice environments for the most part, but the lighting was all over the place, the characters…
