The upcoming game Batman: Arkham Asylum. The best Batman game to date, and most likely one of my personal favourites.

I recently got the demo and played it like 5 times. This game is friggin’ awesome. You really ~feel~ like Batman. Not like the Batman Begins game for xbox where you would sneek around throw some ‘rangs at gas pipes or lights, then sneekily sneek up to thugs and punch them. With Arkham Asylum you actually do detective things like finding clues. You glide around, grapple stuff (and people), you have various batarangs to choose from, even something called the “Bat-claw”. No idea what that is but it sounds very badass. The combat system is really fluid and dynamic and doesn’t get boring. Mainly because you can’t just fight all the time. Jumping down and “attempting” to open a can of whoop-ass will most likely get you shot.

I really hope that this will set the benchmarks for other superhero games, because those have, quite frankly, been pretty crap.

Did I mention the collector’s edition comes with a scale batarang?

Update:

The trailer for all his gadgets. My god, I didnt even know he had most of that…
