In preparation for next week’s arrival of Batman: Arkham Asylum, Eidos release a new trailer detailing the history of Arkham’s loony bin.

While the trailer doesn’t show much gameplay, it’s not really a problem considering a demo is out of the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. As someone who has played the demo, let me say, I can not recommend it enough. The combat is fluid and exciting, the atmosphere is iconic of Batman, and the stealth aspect really makes you feel like the Caped Crusader. For a more in depth discussion of the demo, check out episode 13 of GamerLimit’s Limitcast.

Fans of the Halo series will be delighted to hear the news that an anime is being created based on the universe that has spawned three superb FPS games and a bold venture into the realms of RTS.

The latter title has been tried and tested at Comic-Con 2009, while the anime – entitled Halo Legends - has a gorgeous new trailer to gasp at. Hit the jump for the trailer and some sneaky over-the-shoulder gameplay footage from ODST.

One of the most highly-acclaimed showings at E3 came from Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction. It was arguably the game that, more than any other, went from zero to a hundred on the “do want” scale during the conference. But, if that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, perhaps you should hit the jump and watch as Sam Fisher destroys a bathroom with somebody’s head and declares war on everybody.

What are you waiting for? Hit the jump – he’ll only end up sneaking up behind you, anyway.

In a rather unusual move, Ignition Entertainment announced that Muramasa: The Demon Blade would be released in the US without English voice-acting.

Ignition Business Development Director Shane Bettenhausen was quoted as saying, “…trying to dub it, trying to make something more Western is really not a service to the product…who wants some goofy anime voices in this game?”
