"There have been generations of Batman video games that have either A: barely passed for quality entertainment or B: were utter and complete tripe. It wasn’t until Batman: Arkham Asylum that a developer stood up and said, “You know what, not every Batman game needs to be licensed cow dung.” Granted, Batman has fared better over the years in comparison to his DC Comics counterpart, Superman, especially if you compare Batman: The Return of Joker to Superman 64, I still approached Batman: The Brave and the Bold with caution due to the woes the caped crusader has endured."

Diehard GameFAN: The premise of our new “Best of the Best” column is quite simple. We’re going to take a look at all the games that have won various awards over the years and them rank them from best to worst to crown what is, well, “The Best of the Best.” The purpose of this is two-fold. The first is to generate some fun (AND CIVIL) discussions between readers and staff as they agree, disagree and make their own rankings of the award winning games. The second is to look back at the history of Diehard GameFAN and see if we can find any trends in what’s won over the years. Obviously any “Top Whatever” list is highly subjective, so keep that in mind. After all, if you give ten people a list of ten games, the likelihood that even two have them in the same exact order is quite small. So anyone taking this as SERIOUS BUSINESS and getting butt hurt that Game A is ranking higher/lower than Game B will be given a pat on the head and reminded that we’re talking about something as inconsequential to the...
Alot of these games are some of my favorites, but how are they the BEST platformers? Where's Super Mario Bros.? Super Mario Bros. 3? Super Mario 64?
Did you not read the article? It's ranking the winners their of Platformer of the Year. They've only been around since 2003, and all those games you named were far older than that.
Brash Games writes "Liam and Ross like their Batmen manly, their slim consoles, well, not shit and their normal consoles from a galaxy far, far away. Reggie face-of-meat encourages bullying, Sony still can’t do advertising and Liam almost enjoys Kinect. All this, and as always, so much more".
Look's fun, but I don't think I'll be getting this.
I'm a little surprised the game scored so low. I had read that it was a fairly good beat 'em up. Although given the motion controls (beat 'em ups should be strictly button mashing affairs!) and handful of questionable gameplay elements, it doesn't surprise me TOO much.
Guy fricken Gardner? terrible!
haha alooks like a horrid game
I think it actually looks solid, but possibly a little too simple for my taste
