Thoroughly deserved placing too. I think it’s going to make a lot of peoples game of the year lists too.

Can’t believe CoD4 is back in the top ten though, is it being bundled/discounted?

Bet it’s not there in a fortnight, more’s the pity.

You can find Call of Duty 4 for £24.99 atm for both consoles. Maybe that’s the reason?

A well deserved placing. Definitely a 10/10 for me. The only game where I’ve actually wanted to listen to every cut scene and collectible bit.

Almost finished it. Great stuff, but reviews on the money about the last couple of boss fights – very lacklustre and last-gen.

Was hoping all through the last third of the story that the last boss fight wouldn’t go in the obvious cliched direction….and it does. :(

Just picked up Batman today. It’s awesome, I’m loving every minute of it. Trying not to rush it though and savour all the little things in the game.

It’s got to be one of the most universally acclaimed games ever. I don’t think I know a single person that doesn’t like it.

Agreed. #1 spot rightfully deserved.

I’d go as far as to say B:AA is one of the best 3rd person action/adventure/stealth games of all time.

Yup. It’s a great game. As one of my work colleagues put it, “It really makes you think you’re Batman”.
