By Guest Critic on January 1, 2009 - 3:07pm.

"There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it." -Alfred Hitchcock

LOW Camera severely hampers you in several areas, especially in small spaces.

Lego Batman

Lego Batman Review

By Mike Bracken on December 17, 2008 - 4:00pm.

Why so serious?

Lego Batman

HIGH Getting to be The Joker is probably a dream most comic fans have—Lego Batman allows you to cross it off your list of life goals.

LOW Being stuck in an area for half an hour, unsure of how to progress because the game's awful platforming mechanics had me convinced that the jump I knew I needed to make (and failed at multiple times) wasn't the correct one—and it turns out it was.

WTF Killer Moth? The Mad Hatter? They really scraped the bottom of the barrel for some of these villains.
