With a title like God of War or Devil May Cry, combat is much more twitch-based than Batman. The rhythm in Batman comes from much more apparent on-screen images. When you play Batman you'll see what I mean (and you should play Batman because it is fantastic). Compared to brawlers, Batman’s combat feels much more fluid.

This was true of the "learning to keyboard" exercises we had in grade school and hasn't changed much since then. That said, I've played only the demo version of Arkham Asylum so can't comment on how rhythmic this particular title is. But I suspect that it's not the only game to have gussied up the feature of the QTE, even if an earlier draft of the combat system made it more apparent. BTW, I think your post got double-pasted. And what does the opening line mean, "Gameinformer.com went live"? Are you referring to its new design?
