Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)
There's a good chance that, by now, you've heard Batman: Arkham Asylum is the absolute best videogame ever created based on a comic book license, but this statement isn't wholly accurate as it limits the bar to which the game can be measured; there haven't been that many great comic book licensed...

The Batman game we've been waiting for
I'm not an avid gamer, more of a casual gamer, which means I'm not that good-hahaha; so my con about being overloaded with enemies or failing stealth missions may not apply to you hardcore gamers out there.
Pros:
- -Looks Fantastic! -Great voice acting (not a stretch considering you have both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil back as Batman and Joker
- respectively) -Good Story -Makes you use your head on some missions instead of just charging in with fists flying all game long -Loads of fun for when you do get to...
Cons:
- -A bit short story wise
- but going back through to find all of the Riddler's challenges, plus the challenges give it good replay value -Can be frustrating at times (being overloaded with enemies, failing the stealth missions over and over and over again
- )) -I wish there were a few more bonus...

Batman: Arkham Asylum review
I have to admit that I wasn't particularly interested in Batman: Arkham Asylum in the months leading up to its release. Superhero games have tended to fall somewhere between "OK" and "Not even worth playing if you paid nothing for it", and the only action-arcade game on my radar before the year's...

You will become the Dark Knight!
I finally downloaded this yesterday (12th aug) and have played it since trying out a vary of attacks on the criminal patients! the reactions during the final part of the demo is amazing. Whilst in Dectective mode (L2 tapped) you can gain information about the surroundings... expecially the patients.

Batman Arkham Asylum
A suprise hit that came out of nowhere and the best comic book game ever made. The only way to describe Arkham Asylum is that it is the perfect Batman game. Its got everything you'd want a Batman game to have. The gadgets, the darker tone, the villains. Oh and did i say GADGETS

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum does what very few comic book license-based videogames have done to date... a good job. While some of the characters were created specifically for Batman: Arkham Asylum and the look (and costumes) of some of the pre-existing characters were created specifically for this game,...

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman has certainly been through a hell of a lot since he first appeared in a comic book 70 years ago. Not only has he had to endure a campy 60s television series that destroyed the character's dark nature, but he's also been subjected to a brace of hideous Hollywood movies during the latter part...

Batman: Arkham Asylum review
We've been eagerly waiting for this Batman release for some time now, and fortunately we weren't disappointed. Developer Rocksteady Studios has created an exemplary game that, whilst not without flaws, will keep fans happy for months to come.
Pros:
- The gameplay/controls are simple but perfect for what they are trying to do
- Fun story to follow
- The Joker is awesome
- You really feel like Batman
- Lots to do and explore
- Tons of wonderful toys to play with
- Good mix of stealth and combat
- Some fun boss fights.
Cons:
- Riddles and hidden items can ruin the pacing
- Some riddles may make you feel like you are missing something when in fact they cannot be solved/found until you reach a certain plot point
- Lots of boring backtracking to find items
- Gargoyle statues can simplify stealth gameplay a bit too much

Batman: Arkham Asylum review (PS3)
Arkham Asylum is one of those places that could only exist in a fantasy world. I mean, if you have a slew of deranged geniuses with the cunning and resourcefulness to break out of any jail at any time, why would you try to collect them all in one place?
