I had to bite on this one from Amazon. I found a $5 off coupon code on cheapassgamer for amazon. They have the game for $51.99 - $5 coupon. Got it for $46.99 total and since I'm an amazon prime member, I got release date delivery for free......Had to bite on that deal...

Yep, its a Joker plot without a doubt. Similar to The Last Arkham 4 part series. In that one they stick Batman in the asylum and the head doctor tries to break him so that he will take off his mask.

Goddamn, that is one sick system.

**Mamba Tabac** · 08-29-2009, 09:25 PM

Got this for the PS3 and I must say it's absolutely awesome.
BTW - it's in the Guiness book of records already - for being the most critically acclaimed superhero game of all time!!!

Why do I keep thinking that the PS3 would have better looking games then the other present day consoles? Maybe its just the advertising .....

Generally, anytime there's a difference in graphics, which is fairly often, the 360 version is better overall. There are sites that do hi-def video comparisons of most major cross platform games. Even though the PS3 versions still look good (often simply a lower frame rate), there are several games that are pretty shoddy on PS3, but it's rarely the other way around.

its an awesome game so far and it looks incredible on the ps3.....You really have to nitpick to find the differences in graphics.....Plus, I'd rather play on a reliable console than one that could break at any moment....

I tried to buy it today for PC but I couldn't find it anywhere

Wouldn't you rather have 4GB RAM running at 1066MHZ than 8GB running at 800MHZ? I understand its a limitation to AMD's DDR2 controllers in the Phenom II and I'm not trying to be rude but most people would never need 8GB of RAM and certainly no game is going to use it. I'm just wondering if you would get better performance out of 2 sticks at 1066 rather than 4 at 800? Once again you may need it or have specific RAM heavy applications. Just wondering if you've perhaps tried both configurations.

But anyways love your system. I only wish the Phenom II's were out when I built my rig. I'm an AMD fan at heart but at the time I went with the popular Intel E8400 as the Phenoms were kinda well... you know... crap!

Then of course a few months later they announce the PII! D'oh! But I'm so glad they are building the best (IMHO anyway) mainstream CPU's now!

Oh yeah and Windows 7 64-bit is great. I've been using it for awhile now and its been wonderful. Even with older programs and games its just been perfect! I also can't wait to buy my own copy!

**Devil N** · 08-30-2009, 04:35 PM

The game has been released here now, and I want to get it, but... for some reason I cannot bring myself to hand over 60 euros for a single game anymore.

This never used to be a problem for me, but ever since getting into retro gaming and realizing how much fun you can get from how little money, the prices of new games just seem ridiculous. I will probably scrounge around a bit and look for the best deal I can get, maybe even get a second-hander. Or maybe I'll just wait until I've finished Skies of Arcadia first, at which time the game should have dropped in price in some places.

Yeah I was in Wal Mart the other day looking at PC games. They had the new Wolfenstien, Far Cry 2, Crysis and Fallout 3 but they were all like $45 and up. The new Wolfenstien was like $55 and Fallout 3 was $69.99! I just bought Left for Dead instead because it was only $19.99!

Its true I mean $70 could get me like 10 boxed Genny games from my local shop!

**Melf** · 08-30-2009, 05:03 PM

Finished it last night with 240/240 riddles and trophies, and I must admit that it's definitely the best super hero game ever.

Now, the challenges await me!
