When it comes to video games, The Dark Knight has been anything but impressive. The ample supply of Batman titles from previous generations have been modest yet not-quite-conclusive stealth titles, with most going in the direction of straight beat-em-up action rather than lurking-in-the-shadows covertness. Yet despite the vigilante's less than impressive track record, Batman: Arkham Asylum flew the hype plane right in until touchdown. Thankfully, not only does the title fully live up to that hype, but it exceeds almost every expectation, providing an uncannily dark and gothic Batman experience.
