Today we’re obsessed with BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM, a new action adventure game published by Eidos Interactive (the guys behind Kane & Lynch and Hitman: Blood Money).
After a ridiculous number of failed attempts over the years, it is hard to imagine a superhero character ever being successfully transferred into a gaming format. But – you know what – this actually looks like it could be something special. Over the weekend they released the first proper batch of screenshots for the game, which is to be released on both PS3 and XBox 360.
“In Batman: Arkham Asylum Eidos and Warner Bros. are building a true action adventure game experience worthy of gamers and fans. Players become Batman, like he has never been seen before in a video game, as he fights through intense circumstances in Arkham Asylum utilizing his intuitive detective skills and aggressive melee attacks.”
More screenshots and information can be found over at IGN. The game is due for release in 2009.
Could we finally see a decent superhero based video game? Have you actually got a favourite from those which have been attempted so far?
