Swagwatch: Batman: Arkham Asylum review packaging
53
We'll admit that we were smitten with the oversized Arkham Asylum Safety Restraint System (with adhesive strips on the back for decorative wall placement), Joker-themed playing cards and personalized straitjacket that Warner Bros. and Eidos sent along with Batman: Arkham Asylum. But it was the freshly-minted game within that was truly the hazelnut at the center of this particular Ferrero Rocher.
We'll give the whole production away soon enough, to be sure, but for now you'll have to be content with ogling the gallery below.

I could doodle on a deck of cards for you for a price. BTW, I have a bridge you could buy too. No, not the card game

Something that happened three years ago. Think one of their writers screwed up by hyping something really big with one of the (at the time) new systems that turned out to be nothing and they banned them for misinformation.
Retarded, I know, but hey that's all in the past now.

That would be me. Posted something way back when about Resistance having a ton of copy-paste and empty data just so Sony could claim it was using all the BluRay space for the game. One of the users there posted a data rip and didn't explain the whole thing. I ran with it and had all kinds of egg on the face when it turned out to be entirely something else. Never heard of the ban though, strange to ban an external site for linking a board discussion.

Really wasn't bothered about this game. Then I played the demo and was very surprised! Will maybe buy this game as a reward for giving up smoking. :)

i know! Geting stuck with a far superior verison of the game is such a bad deal!
