Which is your favorite Batman: Arkham game?

Don’t say ‘Origins!’ Let’s start at the beginning, shall we?Batman: Arkham Asylum, through and through, is just a good video game. It took a simple concept (“Be the Bat”), introduced the free-flow combat system and the Predator stealth mechanic, and didn’t go too far with it. The asylum setting wasn’t too large, the collectibles didn’t go over-the-top, and it was easy enough to get a 100% rating and have fun doing it....

A rechargeable battery pack, a travel/storage case, an exercise mat and protective cover are all set to be released by Mad Catz....

Yes, combat is still in and itsadly has an enhanced focus, but the gameplay is great, and as long as I can get time trials back, I am going to be okay....
