Batman: Arkham Asylum


I finished Batman: Arkham Asylum yesterday. It is a solid, solid game that is much better than the standard super-hero fare that you see on consoles. If I am being honest, it is actually the best super-hero game ever (and that is not hyperbole). Excellent story, great voice-acting, nice use of powers and super-hero abilities, and a great secret riddle campaign. The game plays like a meld of Metroid Prime and Metal Gear Solid with a tight combat system thrown in. Check this game out you will not be disappointed. While we are at it here are some other great super-hero video games:
  • Marvel VS Capcom 2 (multi-platform)
  • X-men (arcade)
  • Spider-man (PS1)
And here are some to avoid:
  • X-men (NES)
  • Wolverine: Adamantium Rage (SNES)
  • Marvel Superheroes: Rise of the Imperfects (multi)
  • X-men/Spiderman: Arcade's Revenge (SNES)
