Rumors are just that, but IGN has managed to wrestle an official statement containing some not-so-exciting news about everyone's favorite upcoming movie-licensed videogame: "Eidos Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment can today confirm that Batman: Arkham Asylum will be released at the end of summer 2009," a spokesperson said. "This additional time will allow us to ensure Batman: Arkham Asylum is of the highest quality for gamers." Depending on how you look at it, this may not be a bad thing, however.  A wise man once said, "A delayed game will eventually be good, but a bad game is bad forever."

In Batman Arkham Asylum, enemies attack you from all angles. Groups of The Joker's henchmen rain down successive punishing blows, one after the other. Only by mastering the timing of attacks and countering will you understand the true meaning of 'freeflow combat' and help Batman discover what's really going on at Arkham Asylum... {hwdvs-player}609{/hwdvs-player}

Apparently Square Enix has reached an agreement with Eidos' board of directors to purchase the company for £84 Million (USD $120 Million).  That's 129% higher than Eidos' current stock price represents, meaning Square must see something in the company that shareholders don't. Having said that, I'm sure the Eidos shareholders aren't too bent out of shape about the news.  And that's good, since they'll have to approve the transaction at the next meeting.  Can we be the first to say: Tomb Raider RPG?  (heh) There's just one problem: the company name is starting to get really freakin' long.  Considering that, it's unlikely that we'll see Eidos tagged to the end of the current moniker, fortunately for us journalists.

Because providing high-quality downloadable video is what we're all about.  Oh, by the way, this trailer kicks ass.
