With less than 24 hours away before the highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Asylum video game is released, it is taking every last sub-atomic particle of will to contain my excitement, and from what I've heard I'm not the only one. The game has already gotten higher than positive reviews from video game websites and the demo, released not long ago on Xbox Live and PSN, is regarded by most to be, quote: "F*cking awesome!" Quite.
Myself? Well, I have taken the initiative to pre-order my copy. But being the bat-whore that I am, I secured a copy of the collector's edition from my local EB Games. In doing so, I have not only guaranteed I will be able to play the game first-thing after I wake up at 2:00 in the afternoon, but I will get a bonus map (the virtual area of play in a 3D video game) but yet another bonus map included with the collector's edition, along side a bonus disk of extras, a leather cover journal and a full-sized batarang replica based off the game. (which has been revealed to not be metal as advertised, but plastic. I am displeased)
So by the end of this week, if I can tear myself away from the game itself at any point, I will be doing a full review of the collector's edition set as well as the game itself. Remember this page and check back after Wednesday!
Quick update: Holy crap this game is fun.
Second update: After playing a while, this review may take a little longer to get done.

And then there was light, and the Lord saw that it was good...
I'm not a religious man, but I do paraphrase the bible when I'm happy. And today I am. I've recovered most of my essential files from the Hard drive crash through and old backup. The upside is, I now have Macromedia Flash again. The downside, the Animation is gone. But, that can be replaced, and I can make it better. Maybe it won't take that long for the reveals to start trickling in, after all.
