Batman: Arkham Asylum Review
August 29, 2009
For my fifth Birthday all I wanted the Batman Power Wheels tricycle. I saw the commercials, I bought into the hype, I couldn’t wait to get on it and be the Dark Knight. I got my dream come true as Mom and Pops came through with the gift, but oddly enough the second best present I ever got, I got that night and it seems its all lead up to this. The second present my friends was Nintendo Entertainment System bundles with Super Mario Bros. 2. Here I am 20 years later still rocking the games, still reppin’ the Bats, so Arkham Asylum no doubt a fantasy turn reality. And friends I couldn’t dream up a better Batman game.

UFC 2009: Undisputed marks the first time there has been a UFC licensed game since 2004’s UFC: Sudden Impact. I consider myself a casual fan of mixed martial arts, especially since the recent emergence of Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida. From that you can guess which fighter I’ll usually choose. Undisputed successfully captures the complexity and intricacy of this wildly popular and fast growing sport, so much so that it takes about as much dedication as training to be an MMA fighter.
