I just love the reader reviews on ign. Based entirely on the demo and fanboy bias.

I never made it passed the first fight in the demo--for some reason, the controls got all fucked up on me so the "w" key kept making Batman walk *towards* the camera. I'm still trying to figure out what the issue is there, but at least now I have serious motivation to get things working again.


Get a Xbox 360 wired controller, it works great for Arkham as well as tons of other PC games.

There's also a converter for PS1 controllers, which I always enjoyed.

There are games that I have to get before this, but it's definitely on my list.

interesting record:

Batman: Arkham Asylum Receives Guinness World Record

Batman: Arkham Asylum has picked up a good deal of buzz, and not just from our little corner of the internet. While the game is scoring well among game critics, it's also receiving favorable reviews from other sources like the Associated Press. This positivity has led to it officially receiving a Guinness World Record for "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever." The press release claims it received the highest average review score to date (91.67) on a global scale. Gaz Deaves from Guinness World Records called it a "fantastic new game" and says they believe "it has a well deserved place in the Guinness World Records Book."

In a genre most famous for terrible games, this might not seem like much of an accomplishment. Still, we were one review among the chorus of praise for the game, and a record is a record. Eidos, and particularly Rocksteady, are probably soaking this in.
