Three weeks ago,I previewedBatman: Arkham Asylum. I came away very impressed, even though my session was only eyes-on (“no touching!”). But at GDC yesterday, Anthony and Nick — the bastards — got some hands-on time with the game’s challenge rooms. They seem like they’re going to introduce an element of unpredictability into a game that we’re already hearing has relatively repetitive, simple combat, so I’m definitely glad to see them.
