The Batman: Arkham Asylum demo is up, and weighs in at a portly 2gb. The third-person action game seems to be earning reactions ranging from the satisfied to the hysterical, but at least you can judge for yourself in this instance. You can get it here or here. The PC version of the superheroic skull-thumping game is out September 15 in North America and September 18 in Europe, and will include PhysX support and GeForce 3D Vision stereoscopic 3D, which seems like a 3D too many. Three hefty game footage trailers sit below, making for more Batman action than you can shake a batarang at, should you happen to have one.

I may not be a games critic, but I know what I hate – and I don’t hate this.
Surely it’s too good for 2009 though…?
You’re opinions are wrong.
Muhahahahaha! I’m awesome.
i wish they would have more, faster variations for the stealth “crouching approach from behind” silent take down, after the second one i started yelling “just break their freaking necks or gut them like the splinter cell hobo!!!”
i noticed the arm guard spikes clipping the cape btw, im surprised after all the work they supposedly put on it they let that slide
JKjoker: because Batman’s well known for killing his enemies, or, err, not…
@Funky Badger: i know, im just saying the take downs are painfully slower than in other games, also he is the goddamn batman and he should put ppl lights out faster with a battazer or the vulcan nerve pinch or maybe a kick to the balls so strong it completely silences them :p
The problem with the demo is that it’s just the tutorial part of the game. Heck knows how it’ll actually play like when you’re not being lead by the hand and there’s more variety in the gadgets/enemies. Could be good, could be crap.
I am saddened by the demo’s signs of minor consolitis, (No in-game graphics menu WTF) but at least the game itself looks like solid high-class gaming.

Shame about your grammar though.
