Batman fights crime two ways — by skulking in the shadows and picking off criminals one by one, and also by beating up a lot of them al at once. Batman: Arkham Asylum not only gets the mood and tone of Batman right, but it includes both types of gameplay, and makes them intensely fun.

The game has you exploring the massive Arkham Asylum to ctach the Joker, who has freed most of the... more

It's a little brilliant, frankly. (November 19 at 3:02pm)
