Mailbag

Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Arkham Edition

See? This is what happens when the inmates run the asylum.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

I was just about to comment about how I wondered how many people would actually stop and start the video just to try and make out what it says on the whiteboard, to see whats coming up. :P

Fantastic as usual guys, now all we need is Jeff hanging from the ceiling in the batman uniform while Ryan pretends to be a keystone cop, shaking his fist and the running after Dave and the week will be complete.

@MAST: Note in the video we only got the 360 version of the game in for review, so it's not just us. That happens pretty frequently these days, to be honest.

Remember, folks, if you should meet the dangerous escapee known as "Dave" on the street, do not try to engage him.   
If he approaches you, calmly walk away, then contact your nearest law inforcement agency.

The game has gotten good reviews so far. I've seen a lot of 9/10. I'm only a casual Batman fan, but considering how good it seems I want this game. I haven't played Batman since the first Batman on NES.

Wait if Brad tried hanging one & it didn't work, leaves everyone who's ever read Giant Bomb's site with one question. Who's name was on the other Arkham box from Eidos?????

I think MAST was implying that you guys specifically requested the 360 version from Eidos and shunned the PS3 version, Brad.

Yeah, i figured it probably wasn't some choice, or request you made, and i wasn't trying to imply that or anything (even if that is the case, you guys have just as much right to have a "favorite" console as the next guy). It just seems as if everywhere i turn on this website, it's mostly in favor of the 360. Quick Looks, reviews, contest giveaways, home tours, website features, etc. All revolve around, or greatly favor the 360. 

 
But, you guys can only work with what you are given. It's just not as engrossing to watch a 360 review, or a 360 Quick Look, when all you have access to is the PS3 version. I don't know why, it's essentially an identical game. For whatever reason though, i kinda tune out once i notice it's on the 360, then i end up having to go to some other website just to dig up some PS3 footage... It's just a simple pet peeve of mine, that's all.

;)
