Man, could you imagine this game as a co-op with batman, nightwing, robin and batgirl/huntress/black canary? Frickin awesome. :)

Well, the devs know that co-op is the new hawtness, and B:AA2 has been announced. We can dream... :)

I finished the main campaign story last night in this (Batman: Arkham Asylum). I must say, this game doesn't disappoint. It did get harder (specifically the fights), but I hung in there, and I really enjoyed the story.

Now, I've got 5 riddler clues to track down! So much fun!

Finished tracking down all the riddler clues, trophies, arkham translations, etc. today. Very cool. Simply more reasons why this is such a good game...

This game is the bomb. I just love how the melee combat flows - so sublime. Can't wait to unlock more melee options as my skill with the controls improves.

I'm also really enjoying the challenge of systematically taking down a room full of heavily-armed guys. You're both fragile and incredibly dangerous - but as long as you're smart, the thugs don't stand a chance.

On a story/immersion front, Mark Hamill is simply brilliant. Through him, the Joker manages to be nearly omnipresent. Great stuff.

Agreed on all counts. Enjoy!
