Batman: Arkham Asylum

[Nayrman]

Joker gameplay looks FUN...

Apparently the entire cast is Batman: Animated series VA's. I would recognize that Poison Ivy voice anywhere (and it's way better than Uma Thurmond).

I just hope this game has a decent length; I'm expecting Final Fantasy XII or anything in terms of hours, but more than 10 or 20. This title was really the only thing that excited me during E3 (since I hadn't heard of it before then), so I'm looking forward to getting it as a special birthday present to myself. (Incidentally, my name was a reference to the actor of Batman in the late 80's, early 90's Batman movies; my father was a fan)

Kingdom Hearts, 2 new Marios, best Metroid ever, at least 3 Final Fantasies, MAG, 2 Halos, Ratchet & Clank, 2 Zeldas, Golden Sun, at least 2 Metal Gears, Assassin's Creed, Wii Motion Plus, Glow Wand, Natal, Milo, etc etc etc...

I cry for your soul if this was the only game you were excited for.

Like I said in the Adult Link thread, games are overhyped enough as it is and so little details will fail to excite me. Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc. I already knew about, so I'm just waiting for them to come out already.  Finally, I'm more wary than excited about motion sensing after the Wii and EyeToy.

It's not that it looks fun, it's that it looks gritty. That's missing from a lot of games these days, especially those that claim to be.

My roommate is uber-psyched for this game, and I think it looks good. If you ever watched the animated series when you were kids (most of you might be a little young, I dunno), all of the original voice actors have come back for this game. Mark Hamill did a great job with the Joker. And the PS3 gets a semi-exclusive by the Joker only being playable on that system.

Oh god yes.
I'm definitely getting this then.

Oh, and there's also a collectors edition, but it's $100.

Comes with all this:

    * 14" Batarang with stand
          o Matches the Batarang's in-game design
    * Arkham Doctor's Journal
          o 48 pages of notes on Arkham's inmates
          o Embossed leather dust jacket
    * 2 Sleeve Digi-pack, including:
          o Game disc
          o Behind-the-scenes DVD
    * Code for downloadable Challenge Map
    * Exclusive "Crime Alley" map, available immediately
    * Full-color Manual

I think I'll stick with the regular edition. Don't know how the last thing is special, both edition have full color manuals.

This thing had me a 14". I'll try to get this for sure.

Ditto.  I'd spend an extra 40 for a bataraang alone, let alone all that other stuff.
