Whoa, here we go! So, you know those PlayStation games everyone’s talking about? Yeah, I ended up diving into the PS Store’s Summer Sale, and guess what? They’re basically giving away these mind-blowing Batman games. Seriously, dirt cheap.
Wait, what’s the deal with Batman?
Rocksteady (the creators, not from the TMNT universe) cooked up this Batman: Arkham Collection thing, and it’s like 90% off. If you do the math, that’s a $54 drop, down to this ludicrous $5.99. Like, how? Anyway, this bundle includes the iconic Batman stuff: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. If you’re on PS4 or PS5, each game’s like two bucks. I mean, I’ve spent more on bad coffee.
Feel the rush? Grab it quick — this sale’s hotter than a July BBQ but ends July 31, at this annoyingly specific time, 2:59 a.m. ET. Why such an odd time? No idea, but it adds to the drama.
And let me tell ya, these aren’t just any games. Arkham Asylum and City were basically crowned kings of their era, now with enhanced graphics or something. The showstopper? Arkham Knight puts a real cherry on top. You’re basically Batman — gadgets, villains, the whole shebang. Gotham’s your playground. Makes you wonder if Gotham’s ever peaceful though.
When they first hit the scene, oh man, critics loved them. Like, Metacritic has Arkham City at a solid 94 — not too shabby, right? Even Arkham Knight, the underdog, pulls in an 87. People say this series set some crazy-high bar for licensed games, whatever that means. But yeah, it totally revolutionized the way we see superhero games.
So, there you go. Maybe it’s the nostalgia. Or the price seduction. Either way, worth the thought. But should I, or shouldn’t I? Who knows.
