When Batman: Arkham Asylum came out in 2009, I was over the moon to see my love of Batman and video games finally combined. I pre-ordered the game instantly with money I'd saved up, ecstatic that it launched the day before my birthday, which meant I could spend the entire time playing it and nobody could tell me to stop.
Straight away, I wasn't just blown away by the visuals and voice acting (though Mark Hamill reprising his role as The Joker was a most beautiful birthday gift). Straight out the gate, the game introduced a villain that was never particularly popular: Killer Croc. With a new look, and a voice that to this day makes me giddy with joy, it was amazing to see him within the first five-or-so minutes of the game.
