looks cool, if a little automatic. i thought some skill would be involved in kicking someone while gliding, but it just seems to be a context sensative button press.

That's what I was thinking as well, but in a recent preview it stated that the gameplay isn't automatic at all - I guess I'll take their word for it for now.

What looks to be really awesome in this game is how every segment seems to be a situation that requires serious strategy and thought. You can't just go in Rambo-style and expect to take everyone out; you have to assess the situation and pick each guard off one by one.

That's what Batman is all about.

Eidos seem to agree :)

“We expect Batman Arkham Asylum to not only be the biggest game of the summer but one of the stand-out games of the year,” Eidos’ head of UK marketing Jon Brooke told MCV.

“It’s as close to perfect as we’ve ever come, it looks amazing, plays beautifully and has a rich twisting storyline with enormous replayability. I’m confident enough to say that it will set a new benchmark for licensed games and it’s going to establish itself as one of our best games ever.”

The publisher is backing the title with a strong marketing campaign, said to be its biggest of the year.

Are you kidding me, i feel like a kid again (note to self must buy!!)

Eidos' Batman: Arkham Asylum seems like it has the potential to be great, especially for a game starring the Dark Knight. Fortunately, even if the game ends up being total garbage, the collector's edition looks like it'll be bursting at the seams with enough goodies to make it worthwhile for comic fans.
Confirming earlier rumors, the $100 version of Arkham Asylum will include a 14" replica Batarang modeled after the weapon from the game. Also lined up for the bundle are an Arkham doctor's 48-page, leather-jacketed journal detailing some of the Asylum's more criminally insane residents, as well as a behind the scenes DVD, and a code to download the exclusive "Crime Alley" challenge map.

Not a bad haul, if you ask us. And if the Arkham Asylum game doesn't meet your expectations, that Batarang should come in mighty handy.

That's a pretty awesome deal, although I probably won't buy it. The game itself, on the other hand, is a must buy for me.

According to the Gametrailers preview, a new villain will be revealed in the upcoming episode. I'm not sure if that's actually going to be a new villain or just the Bane video though.
