Well, we didn’t see this coming…During the VGA show last night, it was not only revealed that we’re getting a sequel to BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM already, but we also got a little taste of what the next installment will involve. The first ’Arkham Asylum’ wasn’t a “horror game” – but it was dark, visceral, violent and all about surviving the insanity of Arkham. More importantly, the game was good!

The game’s site is live at www.arkhamhasmoved.com  , though it’s currently little more than a place-holder. Expect more soon and, in the meantime, watch the preview of the sequel below…

It appears that even in these horrible economic times gamers’ passions are at an all time high and they are proving that by the use of their (increasingly sparse) money. Click the link below to read the article…

Monster Debuts on Syfy’s Ani-Monday’s Block Tonight
From SyFy’s Website: “What would you do if a child you saved grew up to be a Monster? An ice-cold killer is on the loose, and Dr. Kenzo Tenma is the only one who can stop him! Tenma, a brilliant neurosurgeon with a promising future, risks his career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy named Johan. When the boy, now a coldhearted and charismatic young man, reappears nine years later in the midst of a string of unusual serial murders, Tenma must go on the run from the police who suspect him to be the killer to find Johan and stop the Monster he set loose upon the world.” Click the image for more info… 

It seems like many of the reviewers have a fairly positive opinion of the game, though much of that sentiment is mixed with several consistent issues that seem to keep it from being a truly great game…
