Blast Magazine writes: "Still, all things considered, Batman: Arkham Asylum is probably the best game of the year so far. In fact, I think it would be fair to say that Arkham may be one of the best 5-10 games you can get for Xbox 360 and possibly the PS3, as well. It is beautiful, addicting and, most of all, very fun. It is not often that a ultra-hyped game can truly live up to the excitement that surrounds it, but Arkham really broke from the mold here. Batman: Arkham Asylum is a title that every gamer should own and, coming from an independent developer in Rocksteady Studios, it's a title that every gamer can feel good about owning. I'm glad to give Arkham Asylum the highest grade I've ever bestowed on a game. Go buy this one ASAP".
