After months of waiting Batman: Arkham Origins dropped tonight. The new Arkham is the followup to the wildly popular Batman inspired video games Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. I just picked up my copy from GameStop. There was a surprisingly small line for the game. It was nothing as crazy as the launch for Grand Theft Auto V, which made me happy and a little sad. I snagged the collector’s edition, and the season pass that has all of the character skins and downloadable content. I never usually get all the extras but this game is gonna be sick. I thought about
also getting the PS3 collector’s edition version just because it had a different statue in the package.
The plotline of the game has eight of the most dangerous villains that Batman has ever faced trying to collect a multi-million dollar bounty on his head. If the game is anything like what is scene in the trailers below it’s gonna be friggin’ insane. I am just pissed I have to wait until the weekend to get busy. I am going to be sitting in early mornings meetings and then grading student projects before being able to indulge once again in my Batman fixation.
