Heard mostly very positive things about this game, will check it out as soon as I get the chance.

Don't forget playable demos!

Personally, I'm pissed past all recognition of the word seeing as how the damned console asshats get it NOW but PC users have to wait till the 15th just because lame ass nvidia (who I used to like until this bullshittery) wants to be able to package it with their new card.

*walks off raving incoherently*

edit : nvm about a new card, the cards are available right now. So I'll be damned if I can reason out why the hell they're releasing it at different times. Asides from just general idiocy anyway.

There's several rumours it's been delayed on PC so they can DRM it up the Wazoo.

I really hope not, it looks much better on the PC than the PS3 or 360. And I desperately want to support more games like this.

The wait definitely sucks.

My mate at work got a copy today. He was playing it at lunch and it seems like fun. The hand to hand combat works really well and looks silky smooth

In the demo the hand to hand was quite good. The counter system worked very well and while you can button mash to some extent, even there in the start of the demo if that was all you did you could get in trouble quick. It seemed to capture the feeling that Batman was a badass, but still human quite well. My one real complaint in that department was how all the "goons" seemed quite literally cut n pasted with a few touch ups in costume here and there. You would have me believe that every single inmate of Blackgate Pen. is a walking pile of man muscle? Ah well its a minor thing compared to the rest of it.
