3. Batman: Arkham Asylum

It's easy to forget Batman: Arkham Asylum is already eight years old, and being that both the 360 and PS3 have stopped being produced, it makes Rocksteady's phenomenal first pairing with the Bat all the more special.

Unlike the open-world antics of Arkham City, Origins and Knight, Arkham Asylum uses its titular environment to funnel you through a number of expertly-designed levels, ranging from tackling Killer Croc in a sewer to battling Poison Ivy in her greenhouse, and even zip-lining your way across courtyards to land boot-first on any wayward perp's face.

Both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprised their roles to tell one of the best Batman/Joker tales of them all, as Rocksteady revolutionising the superhero genre to prove that it is possible to have a superhero game be one of the all-time greats. The Dark Knight's first HD trip to the Asylum is one for the ages.
