New Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer is deceptively good

Being able to tell if a game is going to be good or not from an exquisitely edited trailer is a tough skill to hone, like picking out the faint hints of chestnut in a fine wine. That said, we like to think we're fairly good at it, and this new trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum actually has us a little concerned about the game.

There's no one single thing we can point to; heck, we might just be sad this isn't The Dark Knight. It's possible we're completely wrong, in fact, we hope we are. But, all things considered, it's tough to blame us for being cautious.

Help us out guys. Let us know what you think, so we can rip off your opinions and sound really smart the next time we post about it.

Valve Unveils Half-Life, Counter-Strike Sales Figures

Valve, creator of such popular titles as Portal, Half-Life and the recent Left 4 Dead, recently granted Game Developer magazine a list of lifetime sales data for their most popular titles.

The list, reprinted by Gamasutra, demonstrates succinctly just how successful Valve has been over the years. The original Half-Life alone has moved nearly 10 million copies -- and that's only including retail sales.

Valve remains tight-lipped on exactly how many copies their digital distribution platform, dubbed Steam, has sold over the last few years of its existence.

Though the Gamasutra piece examines the numbers and offers commentary on their significance, Shacknews was kind enough to boil the figures down to a simple bullet list. You can find the details below.
