Finally, I decided to get it. I love steam! Being a diehard halo multiplayer addict, it makes it so easy to ignore great games untill they come out for less then ten dollars on steam! Yay!

Holy shit... it's 8 GB!!!

That's a great deal. I wish the PS3 version was that cheap... I would purchase it again. :P

Since I already own the standard edition, I wish there were something other than 3D to give me a reason to buy B:AA again.
 
I NEED MORE BATMANS.

I assume this still requires GFWL? How does GFWL even work with a Steam game? =/

Just a log in I think, like logging into your Bioware/EA account for Bioware games.  It's £3.75 in the UK so I think I should definitely purchase it even though I disliked the demo.  That is some awful logic. "

The demo made me not want to buy it, but I also bought it on a sale and I'm glad I did. The combat gets better the more you play, and everything about the presentation is spectacular. There's a reason it almost won Giantbomb's GotY 2009. "

On a side note, I just S-ranked Arkham Asylum last week. 
 
I'm really not one to obsess over achievements, but it was actually really fun. 
 
 
A few notes for new players:  
1) If you've got a 360 controller, you'll probably want to use it. I played my first playthrough and all the challenge rooms with mouse and keyboard, and it works great, but I think a controller is a little better. 
2) Take a break once in a while from the story mode to play the challenge rooms. They'll teach you how to be a better player by forcing you to use good stealth and combat tactics. 
3) Along those lines, force yourself to be a better player. Playing on normal, it's easy to just mash the punch button, and you can get through a lot of the game being lazy like that. But once you start working in counters and special moves, the combat will completely open up and become an unholy symphony of baddie smashing. Flowing from hit to hit to counter to hit feels so good once you understand the timing; I can honestly say that a well-played combo in B:AA is unlike any other experience I've had with a game. This is part of the reason that the demo didn't click with me, because I didn't understand that there's more to it than mashing the X button. There's an upgrade that will allow you to significantly increase the combo by hitting an enemy right after the previous blow lands. Mastering that concept will make you instantly fall in love with the beautiful Freeflow combat. 
 
This is getting long, but basically, EVERYONE BUY THIS GAME. I haven't even mentioned the fantastic writing and voice acting (until now).

This was really really tempting until I realized I already owned the game on Xbox and I don't have a computer that could run it on the most minimal of settings.
 
But that was a really pretty game on the xbox, I'm curious as to the PC's graphical improvements.
