Bargain Bin Bio - Batman Arkham Asylum


So I missed the first boat for Batman AA when it first came out mainly because my money was tied up in other new releases at the time. Recently however I was able to pick up a copy for about 25 bucks and was greatly pleased with what I had purchased.









  • Gameplay - The gameplay is surprisingly solid with well executed puzzles, and fantastic stealth elements... oh did I forget to mention that the combat is absolutely superb? With the right timing and moves Batman can achieve a combo that allows you to flow from each baddie in swift motions allowing him to pretty much down an entire room full of them. Instead of making a separate control section I will just include it here, the controls are solid and allow for easy movement and to execute combos with ease... well once you get the hang of the combat.
  • Sound/Music - Everything from the voice acting, to the sound of breaking bones is executed well. I can't recall too much on the music side but I do remember that it fit the mood.

Final Word: If you are looking for a solid single player experience at a killer price look no further than Batman AA. It features awesome combat, as well as a stellar voice cast that will make the entire game an enjoyable experience for hardcore Batman fans, to those just looking for a fun platform game. I give Batman AA a 5/5.

Batman Arkham Asylum

Back again.

Been awhile since I have updated the ole blog, been really busy with house stuff, and drama.

Anywho I plan on trying to keep this updated as there are a bunch of games hitting store shelves this year that I am psyched about. Recently picked up RDR again and have been playing through that and a little Fable 3 when I have time. I also plan on bringing back the Bargain Bin Bio  article so I can review some good games that meet anyone's budget. So stay tuned as I put together some more articles and hopefully pull back some of my readers :).
