Batman: Arkham Asylum
First off the basics, Batman: Arkham Asylum's combat play is a fluid transaction between offense and defense. Some moves are a bit unrealistic (Batman actually leaps unbelievable distances just to reach an enemy) but has a purpose. The combat system uses a combo meter where in you have to dispatch the enemy as fluid as possible, that means each hit MUST hit an enemy and each counter must be successful, also don't forget you must not be hit else the combo falls back to the beginning. This combo system is the main source of Batman's upgrade points, the higher the combo you have the more points and upgrades you can purchase. Other games has this feature which means, button smashing will kill the combat in an instant.
Second is the stealth, we all know Batman uses stealth in more ways than one. And it is no different here. Stealth is another form of puzzle in Batman: Arkham Asylum in which you have to clear the room without the enemy putting some extra holes in Batman, seems fair enough don't you think? Along with stealth are the gadgets, it seems that aside from getting somewhere inaccessible by other means, gadgets play a role in stealth not so much in a combat scenario (well, aside from one gadget *cough* batarang). And if you do use the batarangs in combat without scoring a combo first, the enemy will either dodge it or you'll just piss them off making it ineffective unless you take advantage of the combo system.
The final part of Batman: Arkham Asylum that made it such a winner is the story itself. The game offers information about different villains from the comic without slapping you with a wall of text. Other than that it focuses on Batman himself and how the other criminals view him. It is a great way to know the villains and the Dark Knight without sacrificing the game play itself. It doesn't force you to know the details but it doesn't take too much effort to look for it either, it has a perfect balance. Batman: Arkham Asylum offers great experience for new and old Batman fans alike.

Borderlands
I feel so useless, making Xeph review all the games. Haha. No, I'm kidding. He's lost without me. LMAO. Anyway, moving on...
I'm --We're here to review a game we enjoy playing together, well, 'cause it's co-op and it's fun and fun-ny. Lol. Ladies and Gents...
Borderlands was seriously made to make you laugh. In a good way. It is not your typical FPS as there is an RPG element added to it. It makes murder look fun and, really very exciting. Let us first get to know the story and the main characters...
The game starts with 4 people riding on a bus, Mordecai, Lilith, Roland and Brick. Mordecai is basically a hunter who prefers using snipers, a sharp shooter in the literal sense. He also has a pet, bloodwing, which helps damage or kill enemies when released. Lilith plays with elements and plays it good, you can choose to mess with her or you can just walk away, either way, she will own you. Elements aren't her only toys, she also has a wide variety of skills to help you... die. Not to mention all those weapons. Tsk. Tsk. Roland is our well appreciated soldier, he can heal allies, and he can deploy a shield turret. He is proficient with all weapons but is exquisitely good at assault rifles and shotguns. The fourth, and well if I said not the least it wouldn't do justice, is Brick, our resident tank. I could give him some shotguns and explosives, but that won't be fun would it? I'd rather watch him pulverize you with his fists, as if that isn't enough. Ha! Okay, so the game is set on a planet called Pandora which is filled with aliens and valuable resources. After choosing between the four characters I just introduced, you will be starting your search for the vault. And you are asked to finish quests on the way. Claptraps --robots, basically-- will help you on the way as well as a beautiful woman which appears on your screen from time to time called "Guardian Angel".
Let's move on to the game play, shall we? Like I said it's an FPS with an RPG element added to it. How, you ask? How you play it is completely FPS, however, you also level up and you gain skills not to mention those quests... you gain money, but you can farm for your things, because mobs drop them and so do the bosses. Skills have elements too. Some are active, some are passive and some are for support purposes. This game can be played alone, but I would recommend you to play it with friends. It's much much enjoyable that way. Guns also vary, you don't just pick one up and shoot, they have value. Like in RPGs, they vary from colors. And names as well. As if the story line isn't enough to consume your time, side quests are also given. Free roam is also another way to describe it. As you level, the mobs level with you, I mean they have the same level as you, who would mind a little challenge? I know I don't. There are exaclty two playthroughs and a max level of 50. 1 playthrough is not enough, believe me.
I can't even begin to describe and evaluate the equipments. There is too much of them! And the guns, oh the guns, 17 million of them waiting to be discovered and used, skillfully I hope. I suggest you leave your life for a moment, as this game is time consuming. So, how about it? Why not give Borderlands a go?
