Eidos: No Truth In Batman Review Claim

A recent blog post by The RAM Raider suggested that Eidos is tampering with the review scores of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum game, or rather, “artificially hyping up” its forthcoming release. However, Eidos is claiming that there’s no truth to the matter of “tampering with the review scores”.

“With regards an article posted on RamRaider alleging that Eidos has fixed review scores for Batman: Arkham Asylum, we want to state that no discussions have been held about review scores with any magazines,” said Jon Brooke, Head of UK Marketing, Eidos. “In short there is simply not one shred of truth in this article, except for the title of the game.”

However, back in April the developer stated that it does expect big things from the game. So why would they temper with the review scores?

“We expect Batman Arkham Asylum to not only be the biggest game of the summer but one of the stand-out games of the year,” Brooke told MCV. “It’s as close to perfect as we’ve ever come, it looks amazing, plays beautifully and has a rich twisting storyline with enormous replayability. I’m confident enough to say that it will set a new benchmark for licensed games and it’s going to establish itself as one of our best games ever.”
