Batman: Arkham Asylum launched earlier this week in North America, and today is the debut for the game in the UK. The reception for the game has been great (although we can't account for the glitch on Gamerankings.com giving the Xbox 360 release a 126.54% rating). Overall, the ratings are high on Gamerankings.com and Metacritic.com. As a matter of fact, Guinness World Records has jumped on the opportunity to award Batman: Arkham Asylum the ‘Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever’.

Gaz Deaves from Guinness World Records states, “We are so pleased to be awarding Batman: Arkham Asylum a Guinness World Record. It is a fantastic new game and due to the reaction of gaming experts we believe it has a well deserved place in the Guinness World Records book.”

Batman: Arkham Asylum was developed by Rocksteady Studios. Batman: Arkham Asylum is now available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A Batman: Arkham Asylum Collectors Edition is available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well.

About Batman: Arkham Asylum:
"In Batman: Arkham Asylum, BATMAN finds himself trapped inside the confines of Gotham’s psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, ARKHAM ASYLUM. THE JOKER has set a trap for the DARK KNIGHT and has conspired with the deranged inmates to eliminate BATMAN once and for all. Adding to the authenticity of the game are veteran animated Batman voice talents Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, who reprise their roles as The Joker and Batman respectively.

Batman: Arkham Asylum features an original story by Paul Dini, Batman writer and five-time Emmy Award winner whose credits include Lost and Batman: The Animated Series. Gamers will move in the shadows, instill fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains, including HARLEY QUINN, BANE, KILLER CROC, POISON IVY and SCARECROW, who have taken over the asylum."
