Games Batman: Arkham Asylum Might Not Suck

Posted by Earnest "Nex" Cavalli on Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 3:02 PM

Batman games have traditionally been ... well, fucking terrible.

When the best pixelated representative of a property is best known for being insanely difficult (despite being based on a cartoon aimed at children) you know it's time to fire whoever plans these things and hand their salary to the people who fool kids into believing they could take to the alleys of their local metropolis to fight crime.

Times, they are a-changin' though, if the just-released trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum is to be believed:

I refuse to say the game is destined to replace sex and breathing as your preferred lifestyle tenets, but short of conscripting Alan Moore to pen the story for this thing, the early signs look about as good as they can.
