Batman: Arkham Asylum Coming to Mac

Don't have a PC, 360, or PS3, but have a Mac? Well you can buy the excellent Batman: Arkham Asylum for $40 soon. It will be available on October 13th, not long before Arkham City comes out for the other consoles.

My Day Yesterday

I woke up in the morning, and then called my girlfriend to wake her up for work. Went back to sleep, and when I woke up I went to the mall to get her birthday present. Things Remembered kinda messed up my order date, so I have to come back tomorrow. The manager lady said I'd have to wait about 30 mins if I wanted it then. 

So I just went to Costco next to the mall to get some gasoline. At least it's going down in price a little bit. Costco always has some pretty good prices on fuel. 

Got a lot of playtime with Batman: Arkham Asylum. Love this game, played it for many hours straight. 

My day seemed pretty boring until shortly before I went to work. I saw a pitbull near my yard while going out to get the mail, and then went back inside to wait for it to go away. Well... my brother got home shortly after, and there was another pitbull down the street with the other and they had cornered a small cat. We watched in horror as the two dogs ripped the poor kitty apart. It is one of the worst memories I will have for years to come. We called the police, but they didn't do too much against the owner who let two dangerous animals roam free in the street. 

So that left me pretty shaken up at work. It took me a lot time to try to get that image out of my head. Work was crap, and I'll probably have nightmares tonight...Oh boy.

My Batman: Arkham Asylum Impressions

I just got it yesterday thanks to Blockbuster By Mail.

I really like the setting of the game. The prison/insane asylum is dark and spooky and filled with chills. 

Granted the story and characters are rewritten and re-imagined for the game alone. It's kinda like that new show that came out on the WB except for adults, and this one is actually good. 

I'm also digging the game-play. Pretty decent fighting engine, with stealth to boot. Makes you think and plan out attacks. Also let's you upgrade your deadliness. This is one of the first games in a long time where I played it for several hours straight without stopping.
