Tastes good on french fries, and is fun to kill slugs with.

Dude, seriously? You're getting all bent out of shape over a .3 difference on a review score. We both agree Batman: AA is incredible.
Chill.

And if you absolutely must know what I didn't like in Arkham Asylum:
-Boss fights were too easy. The game is about being a "detective", and I think the boss fights would have been better if you had to figure out their specific weaknesses and exploit it. The Titans, Bane, Croc, and Ivy could be defeated with Batarangs and a few punches. The Joker fight wasn't even that much of a fight. He jumped in, tried to smack you around a bit, and sent his goons on you.
-The cutscenes were in a very low resolution, which I found pretty damned odd to be honest.
-The AI in stealth sequences could use a little work. Many times I'd do a stealth takedown right next to someone and they didn't even notice. I should be in their peripheral vision, which sort of broke the immersion when the dude I'm choking is flailing his arms like a mad man and the dude right next to him doesn't give a damn.
Still, MINOR gripes. Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of the best games I've ever played. So what if I don't think it's perfect? It's still amazing.
So, I'm just sitting here at work, bored as shit, and these people come out of nowhere from downstairs and hand me four boxes of pizza!
