There have been many games over the past year that I have been incredibly excited to experience. For the most part, a few have almost measured up, but none of them have thrilled me the way that Arkham does. Sure, I adore the Lovecraft mythos, but it's the way in which all these moving parts click together - there's nothing wasteful here, just an exquisite clock ticking its finely filigreed hands toward the rapturous darkness.
