Justin played through Batman Arkham Asylum this week and he absolutely loved it. He says that it is not only the best Batman or superhero game of all time, but the best game of the year so far. Looking at the scores from around the web, it looks like he is not alone. Check out Griffin’s review.
The guys are talking about the news of Gamescom and they point out the now common observation that the PSP Go will be only $50 less than the new PS3. Since Fable II was 1 of the Joystiq guys favorite games of last year, they are excited about Fable III. PSP Minis get a good reception, but the 100Mb limit continues to be a point of contention.
In the news, Game Informer has done a story that claims that the Xbox 360 is at a 52% failure rate. Horrible. A few interesting topics come up in the voicemails/emails section including Xbox avatars being used in games, Joystiq’s policy on NDAs and more.
Covered games and topics: Batman, Shadow Complex, Gamescom, 360 vs. PS3 multiplayer, Fable III, Fable II episodic, PSP Minis, 360 failure rate at 52%, voicemails, avatars, NDAs
The most shocking thing about the episode is not the introduction of the Joystiq emergency hotline or our on-site report from BlizzCon. No, the most shocking thing is that we somehow avoid talking about how much we love Batman: Arkham Asylum for the full two hours. Spoiler alert: Very much.
Also, shaving is discussed in detail.
