14 DAY TRIAL // Feral Interactive announced the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum for Macintosh. The action-adventure game is available both as a retail hard-copy and online through digital download partners and the Mac App Store, Feral said.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment with DC Entertainment.
It’s available for game consoles and PC, and now for MAc OS X, featuring an original story by Paul Dini, Batman writer and five-time Emmy Award-winner.
In the game, players find themselves trapped inside (you guessed it!) Arkham Asylum, Gotham’s psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane.
“This unique, dark and atmospheric adventure game puts players right in the action as they take the role of The Dark Knight and use a wide variety of moves and gadgets to foil The Joker’s demented scheme,” according to Feral.
Animated Batman voice talents Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy reprise their roles as The Joker and Batman respectively, adding to the authenticity of the game.
