Batman:Arkum Asylum

I've been waiting for this game for ages! I might cry if it turns out to be crap. All the reviewers who've had hands-on have loved it though, as far as I know, so it's looking good!

thehut.com are selling this for £24.93!! and if you use the following code – HUT10 -you can get an extra 10% off making it £22.44!!!

Better be quick though the discount is valid for 24 hours.

Plus it scored 90 in OPM UK. Can't wait now!!

Amazon.com has a similar thing going on, where you enter 50FFARKM and you get Batman for $47 or something like that.

OPM rate up to 10 not 100 emdeepee but i get the point and the issue didn't come out in shops today its a day late in wiltshire 

Fair enough. I was just going by what was on Metacritic . Either way this games gonna be awesome

Overall score: 9/10

Pros:
Fighting gameplay is very easy to use but deeply satisfying and really responsive. Theres a trophy for flowing together 40 consecutive strikes).
A terrific sense of care to DC’s heritage – rivals Bioshock in terms of depth and detail.
Riddler’s puzzles are brilliant and add depth and longevity to the game in an unforced way.

Cons:
Batclaw mightly be slightly overpowered, and along with the Detective Vision they seem ‘almost too easy to use’.
The convenient placing of the gargoyle statues stretches believability to breaking point.

Overall – “Basically, the whole game is a class act. the fighting is sophisticated but acade-addictive, the visuals are stylish, and the Lara-like exploration is smartly done. Plus the Dc heritage feels all-encompassing like a big blanket. Akham Asylum is comfortably the best comic book game that PlayStation’s ever had, and is up there with the system’s best actioners, full stop.”

Yay!
