New Video For Batman: Arkham Asylum

New video from Eidos reveals the history of Arkham Asylum, as told by Dr. Amadeus Arkham.
I saw this video from Eidos today for the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum video game and thought the readers here at CBM would get a kick out of it.

The video goes over some of Arkham Asylum's history, as told by Dr. Amadeus Arkham himself, including how he started the asylum, how he treated the patients and even his ultimate diagnosis of what needed to happen with Gotham's insane.

Man...this is making me sick. I do not have a 360 or a PS3. I can't make up my mind which one I freaking want. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! SirPrize smash Atari 2600.

@SirPrize:Get a Xbox 360! Better then PS3 by far. Trust me I own both systems.

PS3 dude, PS3! If you're just into the odd video game every now and then without needing any online playtime, PS3 is for you my friend :))
Shaman - 8/21/2009, 10:32 AM
Me neither. I really want to play this game too.
TheBat - 8/21/2009, 10:33 AM
@Shaman:I have a PS3 but I think 360 is way better with its better games.
Ozymandias - 8/21/2009, 10:35 AM
PS3 rules..Wife bought me this game for my b'day. I pick it up on the 25th, can't wait.

I feel like this is a trailer for an entirely different game, but i'm not complaining. Looks great. After Heath, the Mark Hamil Joker is like watching a scooby doo villain. He seems completely unthreatening.

360 is way better... the only need for a ps3 is their exclusive games.
fotc - 8/21/2009, 11:02 AM
I have both a PS3 AND an Xbox 360. I like them both, but I would recommend you get whatever your friends are playing. For me, I'm the only one with a PS3. All of my friends own 360s, so I end up playing it a lot more because we're into the multiplayer games (Gears of War, Call of Duty, etc).

Xbox DOES have a better game catalog (ie. MORE games).

In the end, I don't think you can go wrong with either system ;o)
Nathan Best - 8/21/2009, 11:04 AM
Oh, I have the Wii too, but I don't really consider that one a game console... Although Dead Space Extraction might bring me back around :o)
Nathan Best - 8/21/2009, 11:05 AM
PS3 and 360 RULE!!! I only have a 360 though. Hopefully will get a PS3 soon. This game looks AMAZING!!!
TheCritic17 - 8/21/2009, 11:12 AM
@ozy good luck playing as the joker on your xbox 360 hahaha

at least you can watch the dark knight on blu ray on your xbox 360...wait

really though...the ps3 is better
cheaper than an xbox anyway...
lee mitchell - 8/21/2009, 11:46 AM
Anybody else get a bioshock feel from that video?........This game is going to be awesome!

Peteyparker - 8/21/2009, 12:29 PM
@MarvelStudios I disagree. Two completely different jokers but I think both are still creepy and really good
IronMarvel - 8/21/2009, 12:42 PM
All, thank you for your input. I'm not much of an On-Line gamer. I just don't have that much time to really enjoy it. I have conflicting schedules with my friends.
Again your input is appreciated.

shibazz - 8/21/2009, 2:16 PM
Xbox rules. I returned my ps3 after 3 days, it is not a patch on the 360! And i get the special edition with batarang next friday along with my hot toys 1/6 scale batmobile! awesome! oh and shibazz, if you mod your xbox you will void the 3 year warranty, so if you get the red ring syndrome microsoft wont fix it for you!
wards - 8/21/2009, 2:25 PM

peterparker420 - 8/21/2009, 3:33 PM

peterparker420 - 8/21/2009, 3:37 PM
@sirprize

that is sick
SHHH - 8/21/2009, 3:47 PM
Man I downloaded the demo on PS3, and though i'm not a huge fan of the camera being like right behind and to the left of bats.... it was awesome
Hesse - 8/21/2009, 4:02 PM
True: Get the console your friends have.. PS3 has the added bonus of a Blu-Ray player though.. I have both anyways..

They're both quite good, and only because they must compete with each other.. If you want a good all round media system go for the PS3.. Xbox 360 for a gaming system..

Can't wait for this game to come out!! Pre-ordered the Special Edition!! You get a Batarang! lol.. The place I'm getting it from also giving away a comic with it.. :-D Can't go wrong!
Imran - 8/21/2009, 4:26 PM
THIS IS THE IT GAME


GUNSMITH - 8/21/2009, 6:44 PM
does dr. arkham sound like anthony hopkins?
Weeton - 8/21/2009, 6:55 PM
i have Pre ordered the collector's edition of game comewith awesome 14" batarang and comic book


spider11 - 8/21/2009, 10:12 PM
S@irPrize: get a ps3slim its cheaper with inbuilt wi-fi and free online multi-player which need exta money in case of 360 live
spider11 - 8/21/2009, 10:15 PM
Awesome I cant wait for tuesday
Instantclassic - 8/21/2009, 11:29 PM
Thanks Spider11. That's what I'm thinking too.
SirPrize - 8/22/2009, 8:26 AM
This game is great!!!!! I started playing last night ended up putting in about 5 hours of game play. Very detailed and really cool features.
KingWill - 8/22/2009, 8:42 AM
Oh and Shibazz if u want we can set up something....I have a few extra modded xboxs with a couple extra copies of Arkham Asylum
KingWill - 8/22/2009, 9:15 AM

p.s. old ps3 looks better
telavizion - 8/22/2009, 11:16 AM
interesting
SciFiNut - 8/22/2009, 5:29 PM
@peterparker420 - Sorry! I looked at the news headlines prior to posting and didn't see yours, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. I even double-checked just now (back to the 17th) and don't see anything...

Since I'm one of the two site owners/creators, I'll usually put stuff on the homepage if it's superhero/comic oriented (especially Batman or Superman), and I don't see anything else.

If you guys think something you've written should be highlighted, use the contact page and let Jim or I know and we can take a look!
