^ How did you get it so early!? 

I have to wait til tomorrow.

Gah I've worked in game retail for a billion years, I always get stuff early/cheaper.

Believe me, the perk isn't worth the work.

Arkham story mode finished, loved it.
Although there is definately an over abundance of characters, ignoring the side missions and stcking with the narrative to keep the storys pace flowing smoothly was the order of the day for me.

After a slow start the game segues to a great mid section and a spectacular (and dark as hell) final third.

Kudos Rocksteady.

So the story is good? how about gameplay? not repetitive missions?

Maybe a Third game?

To be honest, I hate the stealth.

I hated it in Arkham Asylum and forgot I did, but I am being sorely reminded here. It pisses me off, enough so this time I've just gone back to New Vegas.

Batman = Ninja

I dont know what you were specting

[hybridial]

Oh, I don't have a problem *with* stealth in game, but if you're gonna have it, do it well. I haven't played any stealth game in recent times that has anything on Thief 1 and 2.

Knew this would happen, which is why I haven't got it yet, but sooner than I was expecting.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I waited this baby for a while.

That isn't an article, that's something out of the opinion page. I get it, the boxart is not desirable, but to go out of his way in explaining this was simply redundant. Then again, it's from Gamespot; quality need not apply.
