    Batman:  Arkham Asylum

    I don’t ussually get pumped up about batman games, I mean who does. When I first saw the preview for this I thought "just another lame batman game". When it came out i saw a lot of it on gaming sites like IGN and Gamespot and they all had excellent reviews. I then decided to download the demo and during the session I thought "I need more of this, this is great!" so I took my leftover christmas money and purchased the game. playing through the game my mind was blown; Excellent combat, stealth, characters, surroundings, and levels. I was pretty sure it was the best game based of of a comic book series, which it is, but the only thing this game was missing was a solid final boss fight. Leading up to the moment there are fireworks, excitment, and even stupid henchmen who congratulate your success (beat em up anyway and get a trophy =D ) anyways its all great til the actual thing. Now I wont spoil anything  but lets just say i expected a lot more from a game like this. I would solidly like to conclude that this game is awesome and would recomend it to anyone who enjoys a good game. this deserves a good 9.5 out of 10.

From the opening interactive cinematic that has you as Batman ecsorting the Joker back into the bowels of the namesake asylum, to the final ( & somewhat) anti-climatic batlle with ol' Ruby Lips himself, this is a ride worth taking. Not since MGS4 has a game pulled you into it's storyline with great voice acting & dialogue that is this crisp, engaging, & in the ...

      Batman: Arkham Asylum(PlayStation 3) by canuckeh on August 29, 2009

        I always envisioned that the ideal Batman game would be encapsulated in a sandbox. Imagine it now; patrolling the streets of in the Batmobile, beating up thugs and keeping the citizens safe from crime and itself. 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...
