This is without a doubt the craziest deal you’ll find all day. I feel confident of that because it’s already past 7:00 on the east coast of the United States right now. OnLive is selling Batman: Arkham Asylum for $0.99. This is a full PlayPass of the game. It’s not a rental and there’s no catch. Just thank the good people on Facebook for this deal.

Batman is going to put in some serious overtime in Arkham City. Already confirmed to appear in the adventure are Two-Face, Catwoman and Bane, although this time he’s on your side, it seems. In the latest trailer for the Warner Bros. game, dare I say there’s a chill in the air?

It seems like Best Buy’s really been a fan of the Xbox 360 lately. Most of its recent sale ads over the last two months have tended to favor the system when it came to discounting consoles, games and accessories. So don’t be surprised that the April 3 – 9, 2011 ad favors Microsoft. Sure, a few PS3 games are on sale too, but it’s really more of an afterthought.

The first and biggest deal is on the Xbox 360 itself…

Batman: Arkham City (PS3, Xbox 360, Windows) isn’t going to pick up exactly where Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, Windows) left off, and that’s okay. It happens with video games. The good news is, if you really want to know what happens in the space between, you can. DC Comics is going to release a Batman: Arkham City comic mini-series in 2011. Best of all, the writer for the games, Paul Dini, is writing the comic…

Somewhere within Arkham Asylum lies the secret plan to develop Arkham City. It isn’t an easy find, but it proves that Rocksteady already had the foundation of the next Batman game in place while Arkham Asylum was still in development. It’s a good think Arkham was such as huge hit to warrant a sequel otherwise this find would be worthless.

The beloved 2D world of Castlevania gets a 1080p overhaul in Harmony of Despair, a game bringing multiplayer to the series for the first time. One of 2009′s best reviewed games, Batman: Arkham Asylum hits Games on Demand for $39.99. And, the Deal of the Week is for Forza Motorsport 3 lovers: a 40 percent discount on the game’s car and track packs.

Sony Online Entertainment has announced that Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy will once again lend their voices to the Joker and Batman, this time in the upcoming MMO DC Universe Online. They’re the frontliners of an all-star voice cast, which includes Adam Baldwin and Gina Torres from Firefly.

Canada’s video game industry is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to aggressive government subsidies, and Warner Bros.Interactive is taking full advantage. The company has announced a new studio, WB Games Montreal, that expects to employ more than 300 people by 2015. Warner Bros. joins THQ and Funcom, who announced plans to build Montreal studios in 2009. WB Games Montreal will focus on turning DC Comics’ licenses into video games.

This deal is part of a series of discounted games that will be offered every weekend in March through Games on Demand. You’ll only be able to pick up Arkham Asylum at this price from Friday, February 26, 2010 through Monday, March 1, 2010.

Eidos is ending the week by sending out a small list of three games it’ll have on hand at E3 2009. Batman: Arkham Asylum, Mini Ninjas and Just Cause 2 will be at the Eidos #2422 booth in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

While Batman: Arkham Asylum and Mini Ninjas may be playable in some form, the latest demo for Just Cause 2 will be shown behind closed doors away from the general public. These three games will cover the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and DS platforms.

Edios was acquired by Square Enix earlier this year but was allowed to maintain independent of Square Enix. While it must still answer to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada, it is still allowed to continue backing already its established franchises and original intellectual properties.
