GOTY 2009: Best Multiplatform Game

I need to get this game!

I was skeptical if this game was great after I beat it, but after much thought it probably is my second favorite game of 2009.

And yet another quick look. Awesome!

The day of Quick Looks... I'm a happy man.

"happily surprised its not modern warfare 2, since every site and their dog is giving it to that fucking game "

I always forget that Batman is a very very old IP compared to others in the "competition," so thanks for reminding that this was a herculean task that Rocksteady pulled off with great success. 
 
I really hope Batman inspires Eidos and their Deus Ex 3 developers to make something FRESH and build upon the original things we love

when i saw this category, i instantly thought batman arkhym asylum, im glad gb thought so too!

Really good game,surprised me allot,didn't that it would be this good!

im happy that games like this are winning the awards  and not modern warfare 2 ,

I think we all know which game Brad is "calling" for Game of the Year.

That's weird. I beat this twice and never saw the Killer Croc locking the door moment. Guess I turn corners too quick.

Awesome, I'm very proud of Rocksteady. They did the unthinkable, made a good Batman game.
 
I can't wait to see what else will come from them.

That combat is awesome!!!

Go giantbomb not going with the crowd!!!!1 Pick what ever you want for game of the year.

I have a feeling the GotY will go to either MW2 or UC2..... both overrated imo.

oh god now i wana play this game again too!

Wow Brad is pretty bad at this game.

Allot of really fantastic moments in this game. When you first enter the area with the genuinely insane inmates and they’re screaming at you, I was slightly unnerved. But seeing Batman act so cool in situations like that. Superb .

I am okay with this stellar game winning this award.

My GOTY! woooo Fucking best licensed game, stealth game, batman game, comic game all in one.

Whew, got through all the vids. Great stuff, now I gotta listen to that insanely long, beast of a podcast. DEAR GOD IT'S LONG! But alas, I shall listen. Oh, and yay batman!

WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

I went back after I finished this game's story just to get every trophy and unlockable, and I usually never do that in a game. Such a fantastic piece of work.

Awesome.

Thing is, people KNEW Modern Warfare 2 was going to be a hit. Like with many licensed games, people were skeptical at first, and as many have stated it proved to be a fantastic game which i think is why it won their game of the year.

Great graphics, great gameplay, great pick for this ward.

brad died ?! dun dun dunnn!!
Totally loved this game, now im off to go play it again!!

yeeeaaaaaa, Batman: AA RULES!

My game of 2009! The best super hero and Batman game yet.

Solid choice

These guys seem to really have fun playing this

Awesome game, and this playthrough totally redeems Brad's abysmal Uncharted video.

Temped to reinstall, oh the glorious combos.

I'm surprised that MW2 got as much praise as it did. Don't get me wrong, I thought that game was great, but in my mind, Batman is easily the best game to come out this year. "

I would always do a running "karate kick" on a final blow to make it slo-mo and every time it was awesome, right in the chest.
 
It's nice to know you had very very similar experiences like i did, especially feeling a bit guilty using detective mode all the time, and not looking at the gorgeous visuals, i would always turn it off at odd times when i could.

Wow, I didn't expect Brad to pull a Brad in an award playthrough.

awesome QL

I think this will have to be a future purchase.

There can't be a quick look without Brad dying.  :P

Bought this after hearing all the praise from the bomb squad, just completed the story today and what a game!!

Brad's right. This game does look marginally better on the PC.
 
Not a huge difference, but noticable.

I have always wondered why this didn't get a video review.

While this is a very good game and a worthy contender, I think Uncharted 2 was a better game overall.  Uncharted 2 has set the bar which all games to come after it will be measured against.
