Batman Is Awesome, But Until Recently His Games Sucked.
Apologies for the over-saturation of Joystiq clips [I promise they don't own stock in me or anything like that], but they do good work. Props to Xav for posting this up.
Batman games have always sucked. Yes, even that catastrophe most of you guys hold dear to your childhood soles thanks to the NES. Batman Arkham Asylum was released this week and word is...it's kinda nice. I haven't played it, but I am a huge "Animated Series" fan so its money that's already gone from my account [I just gotta find time to play the damn thing].
Check out this clip of the storied history of the awesomeness of the caped crusader and the troubling woes of the awful games that were released only to besmirch his game in the video game realm.
