I loved Batman Arkham Asylum. For me, it's easily part of the creme de la creme of games from 2009.
When I had finished it, I felt like playing it all over again. That doesn't happen very often.

as for prices the games are normally $60 out here new with no instruments. as for my current playing habits - still retrogaming my way through Starcraft because why the hell not. up to the last Terran mission at the moment. also still logging at least a couple of matches of The Last Stand mode from Dawn of War2 every night. anyone else here ever try this one? anyone ever beat wave 20? |

I never understood the logic of "don't buy this game, you can beat it in 20 hours".
Don't any of you remember when video games could be beaten in less than 12 minutes? And yet a lot of these games are fun and challenging enough to play over and over and over. Newer games are way longer but this usually means they become more of a chore to play through over and over. Quantity =/= Quality. Last edited by boo boo; 01-27-2010 at 03:22 PM. |

at this point it's always going to be a criteria for major AAA titles, then again they're attempting to create 'immersive experiences' more than games to be played. on the other hand it's not like the whole indie game movement that's been gaining steam for the last few years hasn't been going back to the style of games meant to be played and beat within a sitting or two. and welcome back |

Preferably I don't think games should be one thing or another, there's games to play for a day or two and then there's games to play for weeks, but I don't consider the latter to be automatically better than the former, I usually prefer the former, a good game is a good game weither it's 10 minutes or 50 hours.

I think the main gripe about game-length is when a short game is being sold for the same price as a long one. Even if it's a great game, when another game that you can buy for the same price is going to give you 3 times as much gameplay, it can be annoying.

Anyone here got Doodle Jump for iPod touch/iPhone? Sounds silly posting about an app in here but it's still a game.
Sooo addictive. If you have an iPod or iPhone, I highly recommend you download it, it's so addictive!
