Batman: Arkham Asylum
It's a good game, I liked it a lot. The level design is great, combat system is simple, yet challenging, and the stealth moments are very well done.
What really makes the game is the voice talent from Batman: The Animated Series, including Kevin Conroy as batman, and especially Mark Hamill as the Joker. I used to watch the show when I was a kid; it was excellent. It had a gritty, dark side that wasn't in other superhero animated series.
The challenge mode is a welcome addition: there's either stealth challenges, where your goal is to remain hidden from armed foes and take them out quietly, in creative ways, and the combat maps. Stringing together combos becomes really challenging because of the different types of enemies.
So if you're wondering what it feels like to glide down from above, kick a dude in the back and then take him down, and disappear again before his buddies get there, get this game. It's great.
