Then I read the article & said they may be onto something. Anybody out there remember the dismal efferts of Sunsoft's batman games on NES or Gameboy? Please stop now! Those memories are unpleasant at best & can drive one to drinking! So when I lay my eyes upon Rocksteady Studios version of Batman in GI, I said to myself another pretty face. But even as hardware power progressed up to the PS2 (Batman: Dark Tomorrow anyone? Ok I'll never mention that atrocity again!) The soul of Batman has gotten lost in every game since this time. Now granted hardware limitations of the day kept creativity at bay for the most part. The boss fights were always next to impossible for Batman to use any of his trademark fighting techniques or gadgetry. Batman always seemed to be just a bit weaker than the most average foe in those games. Spider Fighter & Pitfall are still all-time classice folks! (IMO) So since the NES I have played Batman games & been somewhere between disappointed or disgusted with the finished product. I'm 35 years old & have been gaming since the Atari 2600. I know that sounds extreme, but a little backstory is in order. I set about immediately subscribing to the mag. I remember when I first saw the cover of the Game Informer that had the feature on the game. Tonight at midnight my local Gamestop has Batman: Arkham Asylum on sale after over a year of waiting.
