And a new house...

Keep your old house and get the games, stay in one room and play the games, you won't see the rest of your house for another 6 months anyway.

don't think the mrs would like that too much.

Nice write up. Just a question I've never played the Arkham series but was thinking of getting Arkham knight after enjoying this so much. Do you think it would be dated after playing Spiderman or will it still be good?

I think Hitler is the expert here, he has just played through them again in readiness for Spiderman. But in my opinion Arkham is right up there with the best superhero games, so worth playing if you haven't.

It is not Spiderman though.

Played through arkham knight a few months ago, definitely still worth playing. Entire trilogy is really.

Might go and cop Spiderman today. Not seen the latest movie though, is it necessary to have seen that?

Spderman film has nothing to do with this game, there is a suit from Infinity Wars in it, but no need to watch the film first.

Actually on a different note, Spiderman Homecoming I found disappointing, Not the worst, but nothing special.

Amiga - does the game flesh out some of the villains from the Spiderman universe? I heard that was a criticism of the game in that the baddies aren't given a chance to shine.

Spiderman is second only to Batman in terms of quality of villains imo. It would be a shame if they weren't given the opportunity to steal the show.

I can't really comment, as I haven't really been pushing through the story. I have encountered Kingpin and Shocker, basically boss battles. No real fleshing out of the characters, I'm not sure what the story is as yet.

I've just spent the last four hours finishing the story mode. I wouldn't say it fleshes the characters out as much as it could but holy sheet, those last four hours were a Whirlwind of awesomeness. An absolute spectacle.

Amiga get back to me when you've done it.

Will do Juan

You can get it for £20 when you trade in certain games. I have uncharted collection and tomb raider, think I'll do that.

Arkham asylum was fantastic, although quite old now but I'm sure it would still look good.
You were confound to the asylum though so not free roaming around a huge city for example but the voice acting and the atmosphere were amazing.

Arkham city was exactly what I hoped it would be. An awesome awesome game and so many batman villains that get good screen time and the side missions are great fun too.

Was it asylum or city that had killer croc? I forget.

Arkham knight although fun was probably the least satisfying of the trilogy in my opinion.
There were no boss fights really, most stuff was done in the tank but you do still get to be batman of course and they have perfected his fighting and moves etc.
I loved the huge amounts of enemies you had to take on sometimes, if on hard mode, you'd somwtimes be surrounded by 30 odd enemies which made it quite a challenge.
Also a some of the side missions in this game were brilliant, especially the Azreal one.

I can't afford Spider-Man at the moment but I'm going to pick it up soon.. as well as fifa much to my despise.

My favourite was probably asylum, but I'm biased as it was the first "next gen" game of that ilk that I'd played and I was blown away really. The voice acting was incredible and for a gaming noob like me there was a lot of stuff to do, even if it was just in the asylum.

City was great, the only problem I had with it was it was a little slow paced - the story took it's time to get going, and having to grapple hook everywhere was annoying. The batmobile would have been great here.

Knight was also good, as you say they perfected the combat system to make it challenging. While they implemented the batmobile, they went a bit far with it, with a lot of tedious side missions and what not.

Overall a thoroughly enjoyable trilogy. Would recommend to anyone.

Did this, played a couple of hours and it seems great so far.

Glad you're enjoying it Meke

Been playing Jurassic World loads recently, hooked on it and I've hated these kind of games since Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 on my PC as a kid
