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.

My favourite game of 2009 was either Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2 or New Super Mario Bros Wii.

45 dollars is not that much here, actually It's a little less than what I'm paying for World Tour without instruments.

edit :

Guitar Hero 5 & Metallica are both just over 77 dollars here compared .. again without instruments.
to each their own i suppose hehe i figure it's because i've never played drums for real (at least no more than a handful of times) that i was able to enjoy playing the toy version more. the plastic guitars are OK but i keep thinking to how the real thing works, plus with the drums you do end up moving more than just your fingers. i actually feel confident in sitting on a real kit and being able to actually produce some legitimate beat after playing the game for a while.

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.

.
it was reflective of the amount of time and money dumped into the game. part of the whole flawed movement of trying to make games on par with movies. if a publisher dumped tens of millions of dollars into a product it was considered necessary to be thoroughly satisfying to the point of being thoroughly sick of the game by the time you beat it. at the same time though, if you're only starting to really get into a game and then the end credits start rolling it's pretty effing disappointing, especially when there are similarly priced games that offer similar gameplay and much more fulfilling content.

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!
