Another Batman: Arkham Asylum Review
Everyone on my friends list has been raving about Batman: Arkham Asylem. So, I finally got around to playing it. Dhalamar previously gave the game an 8/10, but I don't think that is high enough so I wrote my own review. I don't generally give games a score but if 8 is not high enough I guess I have to this time. I think Batman: Arkham Asylem is a solid 9 with Game of the Year potential.
Game Review - Batman : Arkham Asylum

I have been waiting for a good Batman game for what seems like forever. Back in the day, the game for Batman Forever almost seemed like it would fit that bill ... but the Mortal Kombat engine doesn't lend itself to making a good side scrolling beat 'em up. The original Batman game for the NES and Batman Returns for the NES were pretty good, but they were also pretty typical. Most of the rest have either been rehashes of the same thing or complete garbage. And no, I never did play Batman Begins. Here we are in 2009 and we finally have a great Batman game.
