Your occasional reminder that the Batman: Arkham games are great and also goofy!

This video emphasizes the goofiness of the original game, with a somewhat-new storyline:

Laughed hard, wanted to share.

I have enjoyed them muchly the last few years, on your recommendation.

Hmmm...I have yet to play this. I only did a demo of it once.

Summer sale in various places no doubt coming up!

I bought three Arkham games in a bundle at a crazy discount a few years ago...like 90% off or something.

I think I played Batman: Arkham Horror Asylum on XBOX360 many years ago.  Fun game from what I remember.

Gus, that probably didn't include Origins (which sometimes isn't included in sale packs due to not strictly being made by Rock-whatever) -- but Origins is WELL WORTH the play, too, if you liked the other three. Arguably the best overarching story and side-stories, and DEFINITELY the best expansion (Cold Cold Heart).

Just don't bother totally beating the Riddler in that one; it isn't worth it. The partial win is fine, and might be required to advance the main plot anyway.

It did include Origins! I think...

[JasonPratt]

Ah, hm. Was ArkKnight the missing one? It's a fine grand finale (but get a complete pack on sale for the expansions which range from okay to very good, especially the extra side missions in-game.)

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY
Batman Arkham City GOTY
Batman Arkham Origins
Batman Arkham Knight
Batman Arkham Pajamas

Heh! -- those are the only good games. A few others exist, like Blackgate, which isn't entirely bad as a game but it's very different. It's plot-important, sort-of, but you're better off just watching a compilation film for an hour and half.
