\"\"<\/a>Batman Arkham Asylum is easily one of the best games ever made. It combines the grit of the recent movies with a vast and deep respect and knowledge of the comics books. Arkham City broadens the game’s scope by letting Batman glide and swoop in a large Gotham City playground. It seems a madman named Hugo Strange has turned several neighborhoods into a prison and it’s Batman’s job to tame it.<\/p>\n

Title: Batman Arkham Asylum<\/p>\n

Xbox 360 and PS3 reviewed<\/p>\n

This game is fantastic and offers a well-written and fun main plot with side quests and other challenges. There’s a who’s who of villains and since all of Batman’s foes are batsh*t insane, even the sillier baddies are frightening. The game is very rewarding, action packed and sadly not made with kids in mind at all. \u00a0Lots of bone crushing, mass-killings (not the players’ doing) and bad language. \u00a0The language is especially bad with the Catwoman downloadable add on (which is optional). What kid wants the living room filled with constant cries of BITCH; what parent wants to hear that and why didn’t they give players a way to turn it off? \u00a0For a game sure to attract teens, this is unnecessary bordering on irresponsible. \u00a0The Bat deserves better. (It should be noted that the game itself isn’t nearly as foul-mouthed).<\/p>\n

But the game, oh the game, is an achievement and a landmark and one of the finest games ever made.<\/p>\n

Will Kids Want It? \u00a0Yes, yes and yes yes yes and the intelligence of the game makes up for the language, but it will turn the head of anyone walking by. \u00a0If that isn’t an issue, play on. \u00a0We recommend Batman Arkham City for kids 12 and up and grown ups of any age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
