Arkham Asylum GotY Edition Coming
Just in case you haven't bought the masterpiece already.Published 15/01/2010 at 7:30 by CaptainMurdo
Batman 3D Hits Europe Next Month [22]
Batman Gets 3D GOTY Edition [24]
TSA Staff: Game of the Year #4 [42]
The guys over at G4TV have found something quite interesting amongst all those BBFC ratings. Apart from the fact that something actually made it through uncut, they found a listing added yesterday revealing Batman: Arkham Asylum will be getting a Game of the Year edition (it even made #4 in our own prestigious awards). With Batman’s huge success this year, Eidos would be silly not to offer such a bundle.
What will be included is still under wraps but let’s hope for some extra content, at least. We can probably expect all of the downloadable maps, including the preorder-only ones, and there’s a very small chance of a better Batarang. You may remember our very own Peter gave it a 9/10, so if you’ve not picked it up you might want to wait and see what becomes of this.
Arkham Asylum 2 is also planned for this year but we’ll keep you up-to-date with anything we hear on that.

Cant wait for the second itteration of this game, it should be awesome. Will the new Transformers game steel its crown though?
We got the special edition when it came out (with the batterang) and will be taking it for trade in today, havent played it in months and the 2010 games list starts today with Army of Two.

Only recently played through Batman:AA but was throughly impressed. Certainly one of my games of the 2009

Strange considering it only place it won Game of the Year from was GamesRadar.

I read lots of positive reviews of this game (including here) but never got round to playing it. It’s on my LoveFilm list but if the GotY edition is good value, I might go for that

Fallout 3 GOTY was full price, COD4 GOTY was full price, Oblivion GOTY was full price… so yeah, they usually are, however with games like Fallout and Oblivion you get a heck of a lot of extra content for your money so it is sometimes worth paying full price for an old game in GOTY just for the extra stuff.

Probably just Eidos/SquareEnix milking it while they still can……is Warner Bros not publishing the next one even though RockSteady is still developing it?

Well I can’t see the GOTY Edition being too significant, although it will mean a price reduction for the normal version of AA therefore those yet to play it will have no excuse.
GOTY is only worth buying if it comes with DLC that is more expensive to buy on it’s own from the store (thus Fallout 3 GOTY was a mint buy).

I hope any extra content is available to download for people with the original. The first was so good, I’d be a fool not to pick up the sequel!

Arkham Asylum is my pick up and play game. I’ll just jump into the challenge maps and mow through baddies. Already picked up the Collectors edition so I won’t be interested in getting GOTY
