If you never played Batman Arkham Asylum, you really should. It's an amazing game.

And it's only $7.50 on Steam right now, again, I think. It goes on sale a lot.

I repeat: The first game was amazing, and this one looks just as good.

A third game is on the way. I'll give it its own thread when it gets a title.

These Batman games are some of the best super hero games ever made. Great stories.

However, hindsight being what it is, my biggest complaint would be that the hide and seek clues, riddles, question marks, etc. make up WAY too much of the game play. Remove those elements from the games, and I think you have 4-6 hours of storyline per game.

It looks like two more games are on the way. A 3rd game in the Arkham story line and a 50-60's Batman made by the guys who did the first two Arkham games.

Press "X" to generate random interjection for punch. You could turn that into the most fucked up spelling game of all time.
