For a second consecutive week, Batman: Arkham Asylum has countered the incoming blows of Wii Sports Resort, leaving the brooding hero perched at the very top spot of the UK sales charts. Chart Track notes the Dark Knight's sales are down 27 percent in the second week, a slide softened by Sony's PlayStation 3 price drop.
The real beneficiary of Sony's slim console is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which shot up seven spots on the charts with a 128-percent increase in sales. The PS3 versions of COD: World at War and Fight Night Round 4 also got a bump after the drop.

I really enjoyed this game i usally get games then dont finish them.
I got this with my elite console and i aint been able to out the game down. which dosnt happend with many games. i think becasue of the charchater and being so hyped. its kept me entertained.
Shame i was hoping to fight riddler and maybe see catwoman and penguin. but theres room for the sequel.
I can't see it not happening just a matter of time. it's such a great game. if not a tad to easy at times. :-)
Ivy was a bit of a pain though.
Anyways if your reading rocksteady, THNAKS for a great game, Looking forward to the next enstalment.

I am glad its up there. I just finished it. And all I can say is, wow. What a great game. I loved it. GOTY in my book until now. Let see the rest of the games that are coming out this year.
I have a feeling, Uncharted 2 is going to be my final pick but hey you never know.

After buying and beating this in a week, I did love it and don't have a problem with having picked it up right away (particularly thinks to the Best Buy deal). But, I completely understand some people's reluctance to buy it at full price. It is a short game with limited replay. Totally rent it if you don't think you want to buy it. One of the best games this year.

I also picked it up at Best Buy. The gift card and two animated movies convinced me to buy it.
