It feels cheap as hell, deathwise, and you’re constantly falling off ledges due to depth perception issues or your partner running to the edge of the screen, coop characters don’t do what they’re meant to unless you coax them just right, there are some infuriating boss battles (Mr Freeze can go fuck himself) and the

Normal blogging will be resumed shortly, but to mark the new year, here are the best ten games of 2009… that I played. (So no Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2, for example.) It was hard to whittle it down to a top ten, but I think I got there. Unfortunately, it means that 33rd

Well, this is strange. I actually think I’ve started enjoying the combat challenges more than the stealth challenges. There’s just something so satisfying about getting a big combo going – and almost always knowing exactly what you’ve done wrong when you lose it. I’m really getting a lot better, too.

Also got a few more trophies, some for getting secrets, one for gliding a long way and then the “World’s Greatest Detective” one. Excellent.

I finally got the full game on Saturday morning. I couldn’t play until both the wife and I were ready – she wanted to watch me play so she could see the story – so ended up playing Saturday afternoon, then Saturday evening, for a total of four or five hours. Then on Sunday I

I played through this again last night after putting the PS3 on to watch Resident Evil: Degeneration. (It’s not awful, but not great. The action’s good and the plot seems okay, but the actual way the plot is told is woeful.) I spent a lot of time playing with the final bad guy in the

Played this through a few more times. I unexpectedly discovered the joy of knocking people out by dropping unconscious bodies on their heads. It just gets better and better.

“I’m Batman.” No, really, I am. This game, you see, lets me be The Batman in a way no other game ever has. And not just any Batman, but a Kevin Conroy-voiced Batman going up against a Mark Hamill-voiced Joker and Arleen Sorkin-voiced Harley Quinn. Which is to say, that if you were ever a
