Mankind has always been intrigued by the night. Darkness is the inspiration for many a poet’s opus, and has simultaneously terrified and exhilarated men for generations.
Meanwhile, bats are one of mankind’s fears. Creatures of the night, they bring frantically flapping horror into the hearts of men the world over. Vampires, ghosts, spirits – all these have attributed to the bat, which in reality, is really no more than a winged rodent.
And, although seemingly unrelated unless you read the entry title, video games have entertained men for... about one or two generations, and aren’t really that scary unless you’ve been playing Silent Hill in the dark.
Fortunately, all three come together in the epic game, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Which I started playing today.
