It's a spin-off. Metal Gear but different gameplay style. IGN has new gameplay footage. Check it out. This game is a day one purchase for me.

All you need to do is have a valid OnLive account. If you don't, now is the time (psst.. it's free)! Enter the promo code "99CENTS" at checkout and you can begin instantly playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. For those that are interested.
