Phoenix Gamma is probably a spambot

Went over my buddy's house last night. He had a leaked copy of Arkham Asylum, so we stayed up and marathoned the second half of the game.

Probably the best liscenced game since Goldeneye. They nailed everything from the Batman lore perfectly. As you progress, his batsuit actually gets ripped and shredded, and stays like that, so by the end of the game, Batman looks like he just walked to hell and back.

The last boss is...kinda...I dunno. I wouldn't have gone that direction, that's for sure. But the rest of the game is really solid. Combat is still more or less "Hit Square and Triangle to win", but some parts get a little nuanced. Stealth is definitely way better, but the combat isn't bad.

Eh, I'd give it an A-.

EDIT:Also, GamesRadar's review shows the game over screen if you lose to Bane. Fucking perfect.
