The best Batman game ever.
Batman : Arkham Asylum is probably the best batman game ever made, and certainly one of the highest quality super hero games out there. Batman is trapped on Arkham Asylum island by the joker and must clean the place of villains and un-riddle the islands many secrets. The game utilises a 'metrovania' (elements of Metroid, and Castlevania games) style of game progression where certain areas are gated of until you have a certain gadget. This works really well with the excellent level design. The game features fluid melee combat that many have tried to imitate but not bettered. Great graphics and sound immerse you in the Batman universe. Also worth a mention is the excellent voice work, in particular Mark Hamill as the Joker.

Batman Begins
Old Batman movies were entertaining, but since Batman Begins it has become less 80s comic and more dark and serious. This game makes you feel like a crossover between the movies (because of Batman movements) and the comic (because of villains and gadgetry) The free-flow combat is easy to get used to as it's responsive and nice looking, and the stealth actions put you nicely in the stalker mode that can be seen in Batman Begins. This really is a must have.

Naw naw naw Batman
Naw naw naw BATMAN batmannn Batmannnn batman!!! Yes it batman and he back with more gadget’s than you can shake a stick at and no sign of that adolescent side-kick Robin - “ah jeez wiz”. First thing you’re to do when playing batman is to forget the Adam West years; and think now. Batman has gone through a huge change the last 40 years hasn’t been kind to Batman; the game is dark, twisted and drop dead gorgeous. Batman (you) is trapped in the old prison of Arkham Asylum (a nuthouse full of fanatical criminals) is faced off against the deranged Looney - The Joker… The Joker, who has full control of the prison, has an unlimited number of murderous psychopaths to control; batman will need some serious gadgets to help him this time. Oh and gadgets he has, from bombs to grappling hooks Batman is dangerously well armed. You can use the environment to your advantage and sneak up on your enemies to silently take out your foes one by one. Or throw a bat’arang(super-cool boomerang) and jump into the fray and lay down some smack down with the cool “FREE FLOW FIGHTING SYSTEM”. Free flow fighting is one the coolest thing I’ve ever played; countering people attacks and throwing them into the air and jumping into people heads just to throw down a painful fist of batpain! This game isn’t all about the story with survival modes (fighting and stealth) to really get hooked on. Why get this game? Free flow fighting gives the game of feeling of fluid movement (hard to achieve in fighting games) and the stealth system makes the game feel like metal gear solid on drugs. The story is amazing you really feel the hate between Batman and the Joker. Graphics in the game are so eye catching you’ll find yourself wondering how much time was actually put into the surroundings as it looks so good. If you not had the satisfaction of playing the game yet I suggest picking up a copy at this instant. Especially since this edition is now 3D... 3D BAT-THROW!!

Batman: Arkham Asylum
If you think that Batman is kid-stuff you are very wrong. Batman: Arkham Asylum has all the requirements to be in your playroom, whatever your age. In this game the Dark Knight faces a revolt in the island of Arkham asylum, where are locked up all the worst psychopaths criminals of Gotham City. The rebellion is led by his arch-enemy, The Joker, whose plan will not be limited to a mere rebellion, and will assume more and more terrifying implications for the fate of the city. The story is well organized, exciting and a great narration. All the characters are extremely well characterized and reproduced as regards their comics version. With regard to playability of the title, the gameplay is exceptional,as the attention to detail, able to entertain the player from start to finish. It will lead from moments of exploration to phases of combat, to stealth stages where you will knock enemies undetected, moving in the dark. The graphics are one of the best which we have enjoyed on the Xbox 360 and the music are inspired. The longevity of the title is pretty good, boosted by the presence of more than 200 puzzles of the Riddler and the challenge mode, where we must tackle a number of enemies or knock some of them undetected. Batman Arkham Asylum essentially looks like a excellent action game with stealth tones, which will involve you from start to finish, never boring and trip to discover the universe of Batman as you've ever known, with all the madness criminal characterizes it.
