Arkham Asylum

[Anomaly1964]

YES...I am late to this party but WOW, this has GOT to be one of the top 10 best games of all time!

I've been out of gaming for 3-4 years so I started playing Black Ops and other shooters...

A buddy knows I am a HUGE Batman fan and told me to check out Arkham, again...WOW!

I am at the point of fighting Ivy now...

Still a year to Arkham City...arggggggggggggggggggggg!

Semi-off topic...

One of my FAVORITE Batman lines:

Criminal: I swear to God, I don't know...

Batman: SWEAR TO ME!

My favorite opening to a game ever.

Hopefully the follow up is as epic

 

[Nizology]

I've only tried the demo. Missed a bunch of the great deals on this so hopefully the holiday sale will come through again.

I got to say, I'm not as big a fan of Batman as others are, but the game was very nicely put together. Reminded me of old school Half-Life 2. Seemeless. And the interactions within the game are awesome. Love the patient tapes that you find within the game.

This is a very good game, love the visuals and runs like a champ. I'm currently fighting the 2 twin lug heads that you have to jump on their back and have them beat each other up before I get to Ms. Ivy. Very well done game so far.

Like your signature...

...I too am waiting for the Old Republic MMO.

 

[TheVrolok]

Yep, AA was pretty fantastic.

 

[Joemonkey]

probably my favorite game of all time in that genre

 

[shortylickens]

It was acceptable. Needed more Harley Quinn. With another girl. Maybe Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy was in the game. Or do you mean it needed more Poison Ivy?

 

[phreaqe]

its in my top 10. as was mentioned above, it was just very well put together and everything just worked for me.

 

[dpodblood]

I guess I'm in the minority. Don't get me wrong I bought the game, and I enjoyed it. It just didn't amaze me or anything.

 

[SpeedZealot369]

Loved it, awesome game imo.

 

[JujuFish]

Story, graphics, voice acting, gameplay...it's too bad every game can't nail each of those categories like Batman: AA.

 

[KeithTalent]

Ha, was going to make a thread similar to this. I'm playing through the game right now and it's fantastic! It will probably be the first single player game I'll actually complete since the first Bioshock! Very immersive and lots of fun.

haha. you and I started about the same time. I just finished Arkham yesterday. It is awesome all around. Wish it were longer, though. maybe a bit more challenging. definitely could use more Poison Ivy. :hmm:


I sat Bioshock aside for many weeks--got to first Bouncer dude--yes, very early in the game, I think--couldn't beat him on several tries, so ignored it for a long time. Just started back up again, after finishing AA. haha.

No I mean it needed Harley Quinn with Poison Ivy.

I'm not sure how close I am to finishing; I just trapped Harley last night, but I sure hope there is a lot left because it's awesome.

I loved Bioshock; that was another game that really pulled me in. Does not seem to happen very often unfortunately. :\

[Anomaly1964]

As others have said, I would put both Bioshocks on the same level as Arkham Asylum...

...they just don't have:

 

[biostud]

I have played 10 mins, and saving the rest for a new videocard so I can turn all bells and wistles on.

[Anomaly1964]

Kinda depressed now...

[shortylickens]

[xboxist]

Is this better played with a controller or a KB&M?
