Thinking back on my memories I have a preference for City (minus that final boss fight/ending), but I think Asylum is the more important and interesting title, and lends itself better to overall discussion. City had a lot more to do, but it wasn't all as tight and well crafted as I remember Asylum.

I honestly don't understand why this poll exists. Asylum is generally agreed as being the best of the three, and it's also the first. Why would you do a lesser game in the middle?

The Miker

That's a nice result for Arkham Asylum.

Robin Enrico

I know the poll isn't over yet, but this got me to try Asylum and man oh man can I not put this game down. VERY excited for this episode if Asylum wins.

Pat Doherty

Best to start at the beginning. Especially because City is a true sequel to Asylum.

Andrew Bouvier

Definitely Asylum, I think it works better for the WOFF format. City is a bit too large, too many side-quests and parts that can be done out of order, etc...

Holland Hume

I've been meaning to play both Asylum AND City for years. Time to play catch-up.

Holy bat, Crapman! Arkham Asylum has a special place in my heart, as it was a part of the bonding process between my little sister and I. We were estranged and I only knew about she a couple years ago. So when we met, we quickly discovered that a vast array of similarities lie between us and a common love of video games is high on the list. We almost managed to get all the Riddler tokens in the game by controller-swapping whenever the other died while dealing with all the puzzle solving and brawling for the entirety of multiple nights. Lots of really good and really meaningful memories with this one, so I'm happy it came up!

If you only can do one, it has to be Asylum. But Origins in my opinion is criminally underrated. It does a LOT of stuff right, and hits it's narrative beats better then the rest of the series. In my opinion, it's the only game to really stick the landing at the end.

I love Asylum for the sense of archaeology it has--you just keep digging down and down into its weirdness.

Frank Horrigan

Arkham Asylum is the best game of the bunch, but it also has the lowest lows too. It will definitely make for the most interesting episode.

I like how tight and contained Arkham Asylum is. It's damn near a metroidvania but doesn't feel as cramped or claustrophobic as the tunnels of the rest of the genre. Without changing much mechanically it feels the same controlling Batman in the confines of the limited Arkham property of the first game and the whole open-world of Arkham City. It succeeds in both instances.
