Inappropriate Rivalry - Batman: Arkham Asylum vs. Golden Axe: Beast Rider

Both Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009) and Golden Axe: Beast Rider (2008) have fairly, let's say rich ancestry. The original Golden Axe is an unforgettable classic that you might still dick around with in the company of two friends and cheap beer. Batman games have a long history of, more or less, being about Batman.

So how do the two newest installments in these franchises measure up? (Hint: Beast Rider's Metascore is half of Arkham Asylum's.)



*In 1991 there were a pair of Golden Axe spinoff adventure games. Did you know about these? What the fuck, right?



IN CLOSING

In Batman, you can beat up Mark Hamill. In Golden Axe, you can watch a dwarf exclaim "Blood and shit!"

You decide.
