Batman: Arkham Asylum

It's cool that Sony coughed up the money for this, but who cares. I didn't care too much for these challenge rooms in this game.

Quote:

In the ‘Heart of Darkness’ FreeFlow Combat map, players will battle a mob of relentless and maniacal enemies at the Arkham Pumping Station. Even the most seasoned Batman: Arkham Asylum player will enjoy stepping into the boots of Batman to take down increasingly difficult waves of insane inmates. In the ‘Hothouse Prey’ Invisible Predator™ map, players will have to rely on their Predator instincts to silently and effectively take down enemies at the Abandoned Glasshouse. The new content will be available beginning Sept. 24 as a free download on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace in Europe, onPlayStation Network ONLY in North America.

So I take it it isn't as easy to get a Europe account on XBL as it is on PSN?

I completed it a few days ago and it's an amazing game. Honestly, one of the best games to come out this year. I'm doing the challenges right now and their pretty frustrating.

I rented this one, beat it, and was VERY impressed. The devs did a great job all around with this one. Looking forward to a sequel.

Man, the Challenge Rooms are insane. I can't seem to get all three Batarangs for the fighting challenges (2 max for each one) and I'm slowly working through the Invisible Predator challenges using Youtube & IGN help videos as reference. Man watching said videos you see some great, innovative ways to use all the fighting & predator mechanics. The devs added all kinds of depth to the gameplay.

And yes, the Scarecrow sequences were downright amazing. I have never played a story-driven game where once I beat it I felt the need to go through and relive the game again right away.

I agree with you about this game but, I felt the same way about GoW when I first beat it, as well.

I ended up beating the Joker last night now I'm trying to finish all of the Riddeler's stuff. After I finish that I'm going to try to beat the game on Hard (I beat it on normal so, I really don't consider it beating the game, you know?). Hopefully, that will hold me over until I decide on an NBA game.

Just go into every challenge with a plan (even the combat ones) and you should be fine... (1000/1000 achievements in it)

That's freaking awesome to hear for someone who just picked up the game! I started playing a bit last night and was only in the training phase but didn't want to put it down! I knew I'd be a wreck at work this morning if I didn't though LOL. Can't wait to get home to pick up and play more!
