Batman: Arkham Asylum is an upcoming action-adventure stealth video game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, and is based on DC Comics' Batman.

The game begins with Batman capturing the Joker after his latest plot and escorting him to Arkham Asylum for imprisonment. Due to the Joker's recent attack on Gotham City's Blackgate Prison, a large number of sane convicts have been transferred. Shortly after arriving, however, the Joker, with the help of Harley Quinn, frees all the inmates and locks down the Asylum with Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and much of the staff still inside. The Joker then threatens to detonate bombs all over Gotham if anyone tries to enter. Batman must uncover the full extent of the Joker's plan while contending with the horrors of Arkham.

Arkham was chosen as a location because of its limitations including the fact that it's located on an island. Arkham will be a persistent location that the player is able to freely roam, including an area that serves as Batman's secret on-site Batcave. Arkham will make use of Batman's many gadgets to accomplish tasks and take down foes, such as using the grapple gun to get a better perspective on a particular area.

I played the demo of this and it was awsome! Although I did get frustrated at one point so I stopped playing.. I couldn't work out what the hell I was supposed to do. Who wants to bet it's going to be a high pricer?

I should really get around to downloading the demo of this before it comes out. Heared it's a pretty big size, but not very long.

I'm worried about it all getting too repetative seeing as it's all in the asylum, so I might just wait a little while and pick it up on the cheap just after Christmas.
