GreenPixels writes: "With only a few notable exceptions, superhero games are generally either poorly executed or very generic, and sometimes both. Long-standing Batman fans have finally been vindicated with Batman: Arkham Asylum, an original game that explores the Batman mythology in-depth, without sacrificing any of the action. In just one night, Batman has to infiltrate Arkham Asylum, the exceptionally dangerous mental institution for the criminally insane, free Commissioner Gordon, and thwart the Joker's plans to make Batman's life a living hell. The plot, however, offers much more than this -- it's filled with criminal plans, biology experiments, and old enemies. After all, most of the criminals locked inside Arkham Asylum were caught by Batman, which means they're not exactly welcoming him with open arms."
