You don't feel like Batman... you ARE Batman. ;-)

This is another game that has been reviewed over and over again. There isn't much more I can say that hasn't already been said. This game is as awesome as everybody says. A definite must play. It is another one of those games where you are really able to suspend your disbelief. When you play this game, you don't just feel like Batman, you ARE Batman! As if the game weren't awesome enough on its own, the guy who voiced Batman in the animated series returns … more

You Are the Dark Knight

In general, superhero video games are bad adaptations of the comics on which they are based. Usually, at best they are just an average game (the only exception to this being when a superhero game has a great co-player mode, such as JUSTICE LEAGUE HEROES from a few years ago). That changed with the release of BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM. I didn't have an opportunity to play the game until earlier this year. However, after having played, it is in my opinion the best superhero game ever made so far. … more

A Quick Tip by SolidusSnake

I'm pretty late on this one. Arkham Asylum is one of the rare games that is universally praised by everyone, and for damn good reason. I stayed away from it cuz, well, superheroes are kinda lame, but finally Doomrider talked me into playing it, and I'm glad he did. It's damn sweet, and even if you think superheroes are completely lame and for dorks, you should still play it. It's got some of the best beat-em up gameplay I've seen this gen, jumping into … more

Batman: Arkham Asylum Review: One Of The Greatest Games This Gen, Maybe Ever

As I sit down to write this review I am in a little bit of shock. I don’t think that anyone wanted this game to be good more than me, though not even I could have imagined that it would be such as masterpiece. As someone who plays just about everything that comes out, its hard to find a game that essentially does it all but Batman: Arkham Asylum pulls it off beautifully. After finishing Batman: Arkham Asylum, I had to seriously reevaluate my Top 10 and Top 5 games of all time, this game made … more

It's a GOOD Batman Game.... NO REALLY!

Video games haven't been too kind to Batman. Often times when we think of a Batman game, the first thing that comes to mind is that the game just isn't going to be all that spectacular. What is it about the Batman that hasn't always worked in the past? It's hard to point out. What we can point out, however, is that Batman Arkham Asylum doesn't fall into that category. In fact, it is easily one of the best Batman games to be released. From its humble beginnings, the game is fine tuned video game … more

The Best Superhero Video Game to Date! [PS3]

Batman: Arkham Asylum is the total package of video games. The gameplay is fantastic, there's an amazing story and it features a superhero. Through the years, game developers have tried their hands at making the ultimate superhero game. Most have failed as many of them have been movie tie-ins. What Rocksteady and Eidos have done with Arkham Asylum is create a world and feeling that The Dark Knight can thrive in. Playing as Batman in the game, you get the feeling that … more

A four hour review of Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum, developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Eidos, is easily one of the best Batman games ever and really makes you feel like you’re actually in the shoes of the Caped Crusader. And it’s not just about the fighting and gliding around (even though that’s great too). It’s also about being the greatest detective, facing past and present psychological fears and regret, and everything that makes Batman an icon as well as a vulnerable human being. It’s … more
