Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY comes with 3D glasses photo

We can conjure several solid reasons to purchase the PAL and Europe-bound Batman Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition. Foremost is that the package will include some slick 3D glasses, or at least what appears to be slick HD glasses that will work with the edition's announced TriOviz 3D support. But the reduced price and six extra challenge maps aren't bad reasons either. Pick your fun, we suppose.

Hitting alongside the packshot of the package last afternoon is a fresh trailer full of all the old, memorable stuff you conquered earlier this year. If you've decided to stay away from Arkham Asylum for whatever reason you may want to give this one a quick glance. It gets the blood pumping.

The reduced price would make this game a bit easier to swallow. $60 was way too much to ask for in this 8 hour game, especially with all the repetition at the end.

...no way 3D support will be eventually coming as DLC, right?

Are the extra maps new, or the same as those currently available as DLC?

Plus, red-green 3D is pretty awful...mind you, seeing as you spend 90% of the game in detective mode, you wouldn't really notice...

I passed on Arkham, I can't bring myself to pay full price for an 8 hour game.

I might give it rent as I can't even bring myself to pay half price for an 8 hour game with all this extra shit.

Yup i'm one of those time = money people.

If you don't buy it then you really should rent it.

It really is a fantastic game.

I think it took me more than 8 hours but yeah its not particularly long.

I just recently played through this. I only rented it and made it through to the end on Normal. I had a lot of fun and I already want to play it again. I'll almost certainly grab this version.

is it technically possible for them to patch this into the pc version?

It's a great game. If you can pay full price for Uncharted 2 you should definitely pay at least half price for this ;)

Besides any game longer than 8 hours would be 8 hours without the useless padding clutter. FACT

I hope the 3D is offered as a free DLC, because I'm easily entertained by stupid gimmicks.

@ shinryu108 - I do 90% of my gaming online, if a game i buy has an offline portion i'll just blaze through it once, for the story.

I just can't bring myself to buy a game without any online play. I just can't do it, unless it's something massive that will take me plenty of hours.

Case in point, after a hell of a lot of hours on Bad Company 2, I've not touched the campaign yet.

Heavy Rain is the only SP only game i own right now, and that's heading for the trade in list.

I'll rent Arkham, don't you worry.

3D gives me a headache. It bothers me that this is the future of gaming.

Hate fucking 3d, but I might pick this one up. I had Batman on my 360, completed it two times, found every secret and I still want to completed one more time. Or maybe two more times. This game is fucking awesome.

@Perfidious Sinn: Why would it worry you? It's a rendering options and should be a toggle in games. If you want it, turn it on. If you don't, turn it off. Simple.

I rented it. It was short.







I want it back. :(

Looks pretty decent. I was able to sell my copy of Arkham Asylum at a profit after I got it on sale at Amazon, and I wouldn't mind playing it through again in 3D. Too bad it's not coming to America.

So there was the possibility of the game NOT coming with glasses?
