I think it's safe to say that Batman: Arkham City won't just be the greatest Batman videogame of all time, or the best comic book videogame of all time, or even the best videogame of all time. I think we can go ahead and call it THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT MANKIND HAS EVER OR WILL EVER PRODUCE.

never played the first one as I just don't trust movie spin offs, i have though read good reviews but still just can't bring myself to buy it

It helps if you're a Batfan. The first game isn't really a spin off of the Chris Nolan movies - it was written by Paul Dini, who was the writing force behind Batman: The Animated Series (which you might remember as being awesome), and it had all the original voice actors back reprising their roles.

Buy it, monster - there's a few scenes that are a bit shit, but running around kicking the living crap out of Arkham Asylum's thugs dressed in your Bat-togs will keep you happy for days!

That's a very funny review. It goes against all the mainstream sites but they're probably paid off anyway.

I bought DA2 a fortnight ago but haven't installed it yet - I'm busy cutting a swathe through Japan with my Shimazu samurai hordes in Shogun 2. You will all kneel before the daimyo mouse!!!! Kneel, I say!!!

SHIT HOT!!!!

Does anyone use Steam to download games? Their fucking prices are outrageous. Fifty quid even for Shogun 2 and I got it in game for €35. Plus you need a fast connection to make it worthwhile. On the plus side, keeping your games patched up to date has something going for it.
