With Batman: Arkham Asylum less than a month away, I’m getting increasingly anxious. There’s been a bunch of solid trailers lately, but I can’t help but consider the controversy surrounding the game. True or not, I don’t really know what to anticipate from Arkham Asylum anymore.

Thankfully, we’ll all have the opportunity to get acquainted with the game: a demo for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Personal computer is due out on August 7. Based on the wording in the press release, it sounds as if the demo might just be Arkham Asylum’s opening segment, but don’t quote me on that.

The PR also states that the demo will let players feel what it’s like to become the “WORLD’S GREATEST DETECTIVE.” How can you say no to that?

Batman: Arkham AsylumTM Demo Available August 7

The consumer demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum™, published in the United Kingdom by Eidos Interactive, will be available for the Xbox 360

The folks at Gamekyo uploaded seven seconds of Bayonetta footage that tells you all you need to know about Platinum Games’ beautiful and sexy console title. Yes, it’s just one short clip of Bayonetta kicking a demon into an iron maiden, but that’s literally all that needs to be done in order to sell this game. You run that as a Television commercial, and you’ve got a perfect commercial.

There are also a few more images from the saucy game to check out. Nothing ball-blowing, but still worth a gander if you’re as obsessed about this game as I am. Which would mean you’re practically stalking it.
