Na-Na-Na-Nah Batman, Batman, Batman!:
Went crazy, purchased games. These are their stories.
Arkham Asylum: Holy Shit, purchase now. Like, really. It's awesome. The game makes me feel like Batman. And I really mean that. It's easy to forget that Batman isn't an all powerful bad ass who eats nails for breakfast, does a thousand one finger push-ups each morning, gets the girl, is invincible, and charges in headfirst without a care in the world.
Batman is a bad ass who eats nails for breakfast, does a thousand one finger push-ups each morning, gets the girl, sneaks around in the shadows then pops out of fucking nowhere to silently beat the shit out of you. He's the worlds greatest detective.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I've always known that. Batman is the dark knight, the stealthy bastard who'll track your ass down and then knock you out before you know what happened. He's a fucking ninja. He's the GODDAMN Batman.
And this game, it makes you remember all that. It makes you feel like Batman. The real Batman, not this hollywood shit (albeit the hollywood shit is awesome) where you never fully realize how the real Batman operates.
Arkham made me remember that. And for any comic book fan, any REAL Batman fan, its a must play.
Peggle (iphone version): Damn addicting. I have no idea why, but Peggle sucks hours out of my life without me realizing it. One of the best randomly spent $5 of my life.
Zenonia: Well done little action rpg for the iphone/ipod touch. The controls are a bit wonky (and I have tiny hands/fingers, god have mercy on anyone with bigger hands) but it's a nice game to have around. I hear it's about 20 hours or so, so it was money well spent. Especially when having a DS or PSP around isn't really an option.
Baseball Superstars 2009: This game is just adorable. It's a nice time waster, doesn't require too much, and is easy to pop in and out of, exactly what's needed in an iPhone game. Did I mention it's adorable? Because it totally is.
Scribblenauts: Write Anything. Solve Everything. Except not really. It's more like, Write lots of stuff, hope it works out. It's a fun game, don't get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoy it. But controlling Maxwell can be a betch (the d-pad really needs to have some use here) and some things just don't work like you'd expect them. But then again, Pterodactyls + Rope + God = OWN. It's the little things that make this game awesome. I'm not sure why it's so much fun, but the game really is a blast, despite the frequent frustrations of shoddy Maxwell controls.
And that's about all I've randomly spent money on because I went crazy. Sometimes I wish I could randomly go crazy more often so I buy more games. They're awesome.
