Batman : Arkum Asylum
Anybody tried the demo?
This is really quite good!
I was quite impressed with the demo, and when it finished i shouted "NOOOOOO DONT STOP IT NOW"
The missus was going out this afternoon and after watching me play, had planned to suprise me by bringing a copy home, only the nice man in the shop told her its not due out until the 28th

Played the demo over the weekend on PS3 - very very good indeed, pre-ordered from play.com, cant wait!
The detective mode & the grapple hook were especially cool

Yep, looking out for this one. Haven't checked the demo yet.
Xbox360 version running slightly faster than the over-hyped PS3 again. Just like id's new game, RAGE, running on their new id Tech 5 engine!
Just thought I'd throw that in

I was not buying it, the missus was! she tried to buy it for me the other week before the release date although she seams to have now forgotten about it 
I logged into XBL last night and a mate was playing it and i twigged on that it was out.
Operation "hintdrop" will commence tonight
I wouldn't care but around 1 hour earlier me and her were chilling and playing Peggle, the first thing i usually do, is check the friends list to see who is playing what, and nobody was playing it
Not seen you on XBL for a while Steve, did your dodgy pirate xbox get banned ?

i picked this up yesterday but haven't had time to play it yet. really enjoyed the demo though. only thing i don't understand is it would've been good to have robin as your sidekick that way you could have co-op aswell. still bet its going to be a belter of a game though

Does it have any multiplayer?
A mate told me yesterday that the campaign is not very long, i tried to do a quick search this morning to find out how long it is, but could not find anything.
I have a few games kicking about that i can trade in (saying as the missus seams to have forgotten to buy it as planned ), i just need to get my **** in gear and fully finish them off

The demo is on PSN
I've played it for around 2 hours now, really impressed with it, the gfx are superb & the gameplay is very good if a little repetitive. The voice acting is probably one of my favourite bits. Definitly worth a purchase.

They needed to splash the cash to get the actor from the animated series to do Batmans voice though. He's a little wooden.
Mark Hammil is excellent though (just like he was in the animated series)
