So there’s no better time than now to mull over what made it great.īatman: Arkham Asylum starts in typically foreboding fashion on the wet and chilly streets of Gotham City with the kind of cutscene that would be played on rails these days, as the Batmobile thunders through the gates of Arkham with a pouty Batman at the wheel and a raving Joker in the back. One of my favourites, Batman: Arkham Asylum, has just hit its teenage years - making it about the same age as Batman’s ward, Robin.

That we’re now nearly as far away from the original North American release of the PS3 as the PS3 was from the first Gameboy is a terrifying enough concept, but at least it also means we can look back with rose-tinted glasses at the plethora of brilliant games that appeared on that awesome console as the stone-cold and highly influential classics they are.
I saved up for literally years to buy it at launch when I was barely a teenager and played one pretty much every day until I’d finished university. And 27 years before the N64 came out, the Moon landing happened (or did it…). Next year it will be 27 years since it first came out in 1996. If ‘your console’ was the Nintendo 64, I have some bad news for you. Then, take that number and look for a world event that happened the same distance away from what you remember. If you ever fancy scaring yourself with the relentless march of time, think back to the release of ‘your’ console - it might be the first one you bought with your own money, the one you spent the most time with as a kid or just the one you knew inside-and-out - and work out how long ago it came out. It was a game that I’d bought, completed and enjoyed in high school, and now it was sat alongside Space Invaders and other stone-age creations. You see, Arkham Asylum wasn’t a game that I’d read about in magazines, had handed down from my Dad in the ‘90s or stupidly bought a rereleased ROM of just to be able to say I’d played.
