Best on PC of course. For me Arkham Asylum is still the best.

I liked Asylum better than City. Just hated the needless backtracking in City

Just be weary of tessellation in the batman games, major performance killer on most cards.

You can usually run them all at 60fps max details, just turn tessellation off or if you have a amd card you can override tessellation levels to 16x max, that helps heaps.

They all play with controller or keyboard well.

I caved and bought Prototype 1 and 2, and picked up AssCreed 1/2/Rev/3.
Would have picked up AC:Bro (Deluxe Edition) too, but it's $19.99 even at 75% off... if any US-based Ranchers (where it's currently $7.49 for the Deluxe there) want to gift it to me I'll give them $10... :)

Edit: NeoGAF to the rescue! ACBrohood get.

To The Moon
Retro City Rampage DX
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive
PACMAN Championship Edition DX

With that updated version of DMC coming out I think I'll wait a while, no doubt the original release will come down further in price. Plus, I've got more than enough here to play. Once I finish Wolfenstein I might go through Evil Within and then hit Alpha Protocol. That's been on the list for a few years...

It's worth having just for the menu score.
