And The Winner Is…
So, the final votes have been tallied and after several arduous arguments, a final conclusion has been drawn regarding our Game of the Year. In an unprecedented move, one game has stood head and shoulders above the competition in the eyes of the writers here at The Newb Review. This title has not only impressed us immensely since release, it has received over twice the votes of any other nominee. Remember to have your say in the comment boxes below or in The Newb Review forum. So, without any further gilding the lily, and with no more ado, we present The Newb Review Game of the Year Award to…
Batman: Arkham Asylum!
Kamiza hands over the award to Batman
Batman really came out of left-field, leaving many of us breathless as to the level of accomplishment and attention to detail the developers have managed. Almost every aspect of the game has been refined to a tee, with superb sound and voice acting, fantastic gameplay mechanics and often dazzling visuals. This game really has to be seen to be believed.
Arkham Asylum also achieved something many tie-in games in the past have not; the game drew in both Batman fans and relative novices alike. Whilst there was some trepidation from hardcore fans upon release as to why certain villains had been passed over, the general response was extremely positive and we’re sure that anticipation will reach fever pitch as we draw near to the release of the sequel.
