Dead Space borrowed the essential parts of the much appreciated series and from there refined some points for innovation.

A new episode is coming for the dark knight, but this time it will only be available as a game franchise and not in the movies. Batman: Arkham Asylum will be the caped crusader's latest adventure and so far we're seeing great results. The graphics are nice and the gameplay is solid (this game also uses the Unreal Engine 3) and we're just hoping that this will still ring true once the game is actually released. Hands-On experience: GDC 2009: Batman: Arkham Asylum Hands-On Impressions.
