"Holy shit!" at those review scores...

It was day one for me anyway, but it's looking like a justified decision.

Damn Eidos. I didn't trust the early reviews because the corporate whores in journalism but the rest of these make me believe. Was going to buy it anyway but now the rest of the world can suck it. Especially Superman.

I always thought that such a high scores are reserved for games that brings us a piece of perfect craft with a mix of something fresh in terms of gameplay. Once again I was wrong ;P Dont get me wrong tho, Batman is an awesome game, much better then "oh-so-hyped" hits. Among all boring sequels this is a true gem but still not close to a perfect 10.

Games have not been reviewed like that since i got into gaming a decade ago I'm afraid, i personally give games great scores if i have a truly great time and experience with the game, and i have a feeling that Batman AA will not let me down.

Exactly mate and that makes me feel older and older lol Back in late 80s and even 90s to get a perfect score games had to be something more then just a craft. I reckon You are one of those oldskool gamers so all I can say is that You wont be dissapointed in Bats. Somehow its got that oldschool feeling, maybe its due all this exploring and having fun in finding secrets...hard to say but its surprisingly good. Personally I hate collectibles but this time its different.

Loved the demo and play it regularly, who was i kidding on my previous post, about not getting the game at launch.

Will certainly get it on launch day, whenever it gets released on PC, damn the delay for the PC version :(

i think i'm going to buy it now, it will come in handy for the upcoming long weekend. i was pretty set on renting the game, but the recent spike TV special convinced me it's worth the purchase.

The boss fight with Bane was amazing. Using the Batarang and fighting the henchmen worked perfectly. The game slowmo's just at the right time so you witness the coolest shit. That ending with Batman running him over with the Batmobile almost got me to jump.

Looking fun Phaethon. Will avoid this topic until i play the game now, can't risk any spoilers :P

Here's some costumes that people modded on the demo, will be amazing to see what they do with full game.

Thats pretty sad for me, but I guess his presence through riddles will also do...
Have you checked the new Batcave in PSHome? its quite impressive:
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/batman-arkham-ho...

and btw, have you heard of rumours surrounding who is to play as Riddler in the 3rd Batman movie? The nominees are: Johnny Depp, Anthony Michael Hall and quite disturbingly... Eddie Murphy!!!
