Zipping into stores near you on August 25th is the buzzworthy video game Batman: Arkham Asylum.Playable on the Playstation 3, XBox 360 and Microsoft Windows, the game has received some good early reviews, even though not that many are published yet, and many are praising the new features of the game, such as Batman being able to operate in “predatory” mode, the open exploration available to the player as they roam all over Arkham and the inclusion of villains such as Mr. Zsasz and heroes like Oracle.While this is certainly not the first, and probably not the last, Batman video game to hit our screens, it’s measuring up to be one of the best.With that, it’s time to look back at some other Batman games from over the years, measuring their playability, fun level and overall “battiness” from one to four batarangs!
