Batman: Arkham Asylum Shipping In August

Pinning down an exact release date for us this afternoon, Eidos Interactive and Rocksteady Studios have announced that their upcoming Action-Stealth title, Batman: Arkham Asylum, will begin shipping to stores across North America on August 25th and Europe on August 28th. The game was previously scheduled for release in June, but was recently pushed back to "the end of summer 2009" to allow for more polish time. I can already hear the fanboys planning a "sick day" for the launch. ;)
