    The original is a fun (but short) game that focuses on stealth as you defat the patroling goons in a Batman-ish way or beating up a lot of goons in a hit/counter system, it also has a lot of riddles and cameos for you to find as well as some challenge modes that will take quite a bit to defeat.

    The PS3 version gets some extra challenges where you play as the Joker.

    If you like games like this i suggest trying the demo, not sure if it`s available on PSN though, it probably is, if you`re a Batman fan this is a must buy.

    Well I know batman doesn't kill anyone, but I thought the joker basically jacked himself up after injecting the toxin.

    You would think so, but no. He just got arrested.

    I'm playing through Arkham Asylum before I try Arkham City. For the Riddler trophies, do some of them require you to return later with some new gadget/ability you didn't have the first time you encountered the trophy?

    The first one I saw was behind a destructable wall but I had not acquired batgel at that time.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I completed Asylum and City back to back, with all Riddler challenges cleared. And yes, you need to collect some of the power ups first and there's a lot of back tracking to be done.

    Thanks for the answer. I doubt I can play both games back to back. I'm not that big a fan of the Batman universe at this point. Maybe when the new movie comes out I'll be more interested. I guess it goes with my aversion to replaying games and rewatching movies... I got all 3 Uncharted games, but after playing 3, I'm waiting a month or more to play 1 and then another few months before 2.

    I have both Asylum and City waiting to be played whenever i get bored, currently i'm still playing Skyrim and from the looks of things i'm guessing Diablo III is likely to be released sometime late January/Feb, and that will keep me busy for quite some time.

    To be fair, the backtracking has enough differences and variety to keep both games fresh, and it seldom feels like a chore. Solid games, and you should give it a go.
