Okay, so there I was, diving into yet another summer sale plunge on the PS Store. You know how it goes, right? Scrolling through the deals, my mind half on the screen, half on the ice cream melting in the freezer—because priorities. And bam! Batman swoops in with a deal like no other.
Soooo, here’s the thing: they’ve slashed the price on the Batman: Arkham Collection. I mean, it’s 90% off! That’s like finding an old $20 bill in your jeans pocket. Originally, this bad boy was $59.99, but right now? It’s a measly $5.99. Seriously, I’m not sure if the folks at Rocksteady had a moment—did they spill coffee on the “discount” button or something? Who knows.
This bundle’s packed with gems: Arkham Asylum, City, and Knight. Three games, just a couple bucks each. It’s kind of nuts, really. And there’s something about these games… maybe it’s the shadowy alleys of Gotham, or just the way your heart races when Batman leaps off a rooftop. Or maybe I’ve just watched too many superhero movies. Anyhow, if you’re in, jump on this fast. Like, warp-speed fast. The deal’s vanishing at 2:59 a.m. ET on July 31—why such a specific time? Beats me.
The collection blurb practically shouts: “Experience the thrill!” and all that jazz. Beyond the remastered graphics and cool gadgets, it’s about diving headfirst into that chaotic dance with Gotham’s rogue gallery. Feels odd admitting it, but becoming Batman? Kinda therapeutic.
Critics ate these games up when they first dropped. Arkham City snagged a solid 94 on Metacritic—like an almost flawless report card. Even Knight, the “lowest” at 87, still rocks harder than my old band’s demo tapes. And yeah, this series? It shifted how licensed games were even thought about. So there you have it. It’s comic book chaos wrapped in digital delight. Maybe worth ditching the ice cream for. Or maybe not. I should probably check on that.
