Eidos: No truth in Batman review score fixing claim

No discussions have been held with magazines regarding review scores.

Eidos has stated there is no truth to claims made by British industry insider blog, RamRaider, that it has been fixing Batman: Arkham Asylum 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.”

Eidos has, however, openly stated that it does expect big things from the game.

“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 back in April.

“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.”

Look out for an updated hands-on preview soon.
