Arkham Asylum 2 may feature the Boy...

There’s a rumor doing the rounds today, apparently Robin could make an appearance in Arkham Asylum 2. Some interwebers are finding this a little worrying…..I find that a little worrying. Robin can be done well, In fact there are plenty of Batman storylines where the Boy Wonder doesn’t suck. So stop the negativity folks. Lets not forget that the original Robin was killed by… Continue »

Irish Retail charts 19/09/09

Madness in the charts this week, Assassins creed makes a return to the top 20 as does Far Cry 2 and bizarrely Quantum of Solace is now in the top 5?? Peppa Pig comes back from the dead and Need for Speed:Shift knocks Batman off the top spot. I’m sure Rocksteady wont be too sad though as they released sales figures today that reveal… Continue »

Hahahahahahaah brilliant

In an outstanding display of piracy pwonage, Rocksteady being the evil geniuses they are, had put a deliberate glitch in the cracked copy of the PC version of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

If my glowing Batman review wasn’t enough to make your wallet put on a cape and glide out of your arse pocket, you should check out this PC trailer highlighting the titles use of PhsyX (see what they did there?) technology.

Batman:Arkham Asylum Review

There is a part of me that really wants to make this a one line review. The way I figured, everything that needs to be said about Batman: Arkham Asylum has already been said by gamin’s big hitters in the last week, so why bother writhing for an hour when I could be playing the damn thing? After meditating on… Continue »

Batman Arkham Asylum launch trailer

Some serious excitement bouncing around my belly at the moment for Arkham Asylum and to make matters even more uncomfortable for us, Eidos drop this launch trailer. The trailer is mostly stuff you have seen already but if you pause at 1:42 you get to see a very cool looking baddy that hasn’t been publicised as much as the others…. Continue »
