Well after listening to the almost 4 hour podcast, I REALLY wanted Batman: Arkham Asylum. I hadn't played it yet, and you guys made it sound amazing. So with my left-over Christmas money I just bought it. I've been playing for a few hours and I love it. So I just wanted to give a special thanks to the Giant Bomb crew :D
Yeah, I'm probably going to do the same - I think this is the "Giant Bomb effect", because the hype the guys give to good games just makes me want said games all the more. Borderlands, MGS4, Persona 4, Modern Warfare 2...the list could go on. I guess it's because they're all seasoned game reviewers, so when they like a game it's because the game is good and not just because they're excited about it.
That game only gets better as you progress through. I especially liked it when they stopped you from using the gargoyles. Doing inverted takedowns and glide kicks are tons-o-fun, but when you are forced to use other resources in Batman's arsenal, you get a real sense of how bad ass the guy is. Using the grappling line to kick someone through a window = awesome!
All I can say is that this game is a definate must have for the gamers out there. I'm completely emersed in it. The only game that will get me off it is probably Magna Carta 2. And MAYBE CoD: MW2 because my friend always wants me to glitch with him :P
Remember that when guys clap for you, you should fight them. Unfortunately I missed that achievement and it's way too late in the game for me to go back for it.
