    Finally A Good Batman Game


    Hulk Ultimate Destruction and now Batman Arkham Asylum. There have not been that many great comic book games but those two stand out. Wolverine Uncaged was done well but not in the class of Batman and Hulk. We can only hope that Iron Man 2 shows up. Overall Batman gets it right with the story and combat.

I do not give many 5 out of 5 but this game has me coming back for more.

Unfortunately, recent sandbox games, both with real superheroes (Spiderman: Web of Shadows, Superman Returns) and imitation heroes (Infamous, Prototype) have taught me better. All of those games featured redundant gameplay mechanics realized the notion that the life of a superhero is...
