This weekend I took off my pants, propped my feet up, and spent most of my Saturday in front of my PS3.  Really there should be chicks involved, as well as sex, but you don’t have time for those sort of things when you are playing a video game for 7 hours straight!  I just couldn’t get enough of the Batman: Arkham Asylum story missions and finding Joker challenges strewn around the island.  I started at 21% completed and when I turned off the PS3 for supper, I was at around 53%.  The story campaign of Batman: Arkham Asylum is pretty deep and varied so it should extend well over the 20 to 25 hour range (I’ve already put in about 12 hours or so).  I purposefully am taking my time, soaking in all of the nuances of Batman and the Gotham universe.

Adding even more gameplay to the mix, are the challenge maps (or ass kicking rooms as I call them).  These are where you take on a few of Joker’s henchmen with the difficulty getting progressively harder to get the FreeFlow combat system multiplier and score up.  Eidos Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive have just announced that two brand new challenge maps are coming soon in the form of the  Insane Night Map Pack.
