It looks pretty good. I for one am going to wait though. Let things settle a bit. :P Plus, I don't really feel like paying $60 for a game. I will wait till it drops a bit.

If you mean down payment to get it for 38$ no.. it's 38$ in Canada till the 27th.

60$?? is nobody paying attention to retailer prices in the last while? Don't know if it's just in Canada but 40$ is pretty damn sweet!

I'm surprised it got AAA. I expected Gamespot to give it an 8.5, but I guess not. :D I took off work today to pick this game up ASAP! I'm really "sick", *cough* haha. :D

Nice.I knew this would be a good game since I loved the demo.But I didn't know it would do this well.I might get it today.

It also got a 9.0 from Gametrailers.http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-batman-arkham/54790

Gametrailers does MUCH better reviews,IMO.

I think I'll get the PC version which is said to have Physx running on it. That ought to be good. But I'll use my 360 controller of course to get a good feel for the game without a clunky keyboard and mouse for movements in a 3rd person game.

Yeh gaming this generation is very expensive.

And yet....cheaper than many others.

....All points taken off is not from the two things listed under bad. What is listed under good and bad is just things that stick out that people should know, or sometimes are more to be funny then to really contribute to the review.

This, I'm sure there was something deeper to taking off the points. I'm still not sure that I would like this game. The demo didn't do much for me. I guess I'll wait until it drops in price and pick it up.

Since I don't have all of the Fallout 3 DLC yet, I wouldnt' trade that one in. I need to play through more Prototype because I lent it to friends before I tried New Game+ but if you're done with those games as much as you're going to play them, go for it.

I'm no GameStop employee but I'd suggest calling your local store and finding out.

Yes, everyone should get rid of Fallout 3. As soon as I heard about the GOTY edition that comes with all $50 of DLC I sold the thing the next day for about $40 online. That more than pays for the GOTY edition.

Cool, cool I very rarely buy games but I would love to buy this one. I would probably start off by renting it though, for I wasted all my money on movies and movie related things. :P

I got the game early. Already beat the game on normal and completed all riddler challenges. 9.0 is a bit high I think, but it really was a damn good game. 8.5 is about right in my opinion.

Quite the opposite, its a true look at a relationship.
