Take a Peek Inside Arkham Asylum
I just had a bit of a nerd nervous breakdown. So if you recall the announcement about Batman: Arkham Asylum?the comic-based Batman game set entirely in the famed boarding house for homicidal lunatics in-between their crime sprees?well, Destructoid has a gallery of screenshots from the game, and they’re all so awesome I couldn’t decide which one to use for the article. I mean, looking at Batman himself is awesome enough, but seeing the terrifyingly large Killer Croc (I think) towering over Bats, or the Joker bound to a Hannibal Lecter-esque restraining device…or the Riddler’s prison cell, covered in questions marks drawn with blood…just go here. Now. You won’t regret it.
