Welcome to the ha-ha-hacienda: Batman Arkham Asylum review

If we went back in time two years and tried to convince ourselves that in 2009 Palm would release a damn fine phone, people would be excited about a new Windows release, and Batman would star in a game-of-the-year contender, what do you think we would say to ourselves? We live in interesting times. <BR><BR><a href='http://meincmagazine.com/gaming/reviews/2009/08/welcome-to-the-ha-ha-hacienda-batman-arkham-asylum-review.ars'>Read the whole story</a>

Was watching my roommate play this last night. The h2h combat seemed annoying as hell the way it would always slow-mo, matrix-style, before hits. Then there's the running around in the corridors, which is spiced up by the stupid chattering teeth bouncing around, giving you an excuse to toss batarangs. I do admit the "unseen predator" parts the reviewer talks about were pretty good. And the story part is pretty good. But the rest is just standard consolitis faire with a Batman paint-job on top.
