Arkham Asylum Demo Out 8/7, Plus New Trailer

Prepare to fight a limited amount of crime in Gotham City this Friday.

Eidos sends word that its slick-looking new Batman game Arkham Asylum will get a demo version releasing on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and PC this Friday the 7th. That seems like a smart move; while everything we've seen of the game so far looks hot, you just never know about these licensed games until you actually get your hands on them. I'm certainly optimistic that Arkham is going to be cool, but it's still nice to try before you buy, no? 
 
Here's a new trailer to commemorate the news.

Sweet! I forgot that this game is arriving fairly soon, and this demo should tide me over.

i've only seen a trailer loooong ago and while it looked amazing i wondered about gameplay. granted i couild just look at some gameplay videos. in any case, watching it just doesn't compare to playing it, most of the time.

I'm just really excited to finally get my hands on this game, I refused to play the PS3 demo in-stores.
I hope this game is all it's cracked up to be, maybe Eidos won't completely fuck up now that Square Enix owns them

this'll inspire from jealousy, for about a week the gamespot by my house already had a demo for the game up.

Yeah, but I'm assuming you've heard about publisher Eidos policy of only allowing early reviews to be published if the review grade is high enough (90% or more)? I'm hoping that Batman is as good as it looks, but in this case it's more important than ever not to pay any attention at all to early reviews...

Is the PSN really getting this on Friday?  I thought they only updated the PS Store with new content on Thursdays.

I tried out the demo at Gamestop today and it was fun but the combat is extremely easy.
