Batman: Arkham Asylum Review
I am not a Batman fan. I don’t read the comics or watch the cartoon and I am not obsessed with the films. That being said, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a masterpiece that seamlessly integrates all of Batman’s skills into a tight package that nearly sustains its brilliance all the way to the end.
This is not to say it’s without flaws, but if you’re looking for a solid single player story that mixes action, stealth and simple puzzle mechanics, you won’t go wrong with this game. read more
Dirt 2 Review
I love off road racing games. I loved Motorstorm and all its iterations and the original Dirt was a great if flawed game. Dirt 2, however, supplants the competition by a healthy margin. Its mix of style and driving physics are unparalleled and the variety between its race modes and tracks is significant.
It’s a little disappointing that the leveling system wasn’t as well executed as it could have been, or that the tracks become somewhat repetitive by the end of the game, but those are minor quibbles. Dirt 2 is a worthy successor to the impressive original and I have to dig fairly deep to find even the smallest criticism. read more
