The Hobbit is a greater technical achievement than its predecessors (or successors really), but nowhere near matching their depth of story.

Looper has a sense of innovation and inventiveness that makes every new revelation pure enjoyment.

In 'Batman: Arkham Asylum,' Batman truly feels like Batman: swinging between overhangs, tracking evidence and confidently taking on half a dozen henchmen at once. This is essentially the closest any normal, non-psychotic person can come at this point to actually being Batman. This game is widely considered a classic already and for good reason. It's superb.
