They definitely weren’t the pinnacle of good game design. They were well made games, though. Just weren’t for everyone (like any other game).

They definitely were. The way the areas were designed, the way various systems in the world combined to create a cohesive whole and its fantastic pacing are fantastic.

A little bit childish isn't it, saying someone has no taste because they don't like the same games as you.

Spiderman and Batman are in the same vein and Spidey takes a lot from the Arkham games, and does most of it worse. You can't call it fun and Arkham boring at the same time, when its a similar and worse game than Arkham City.

There are very few good superhero games though. So, what this really means is that Spidey beat Arkham. That's still impressive, but the context is important.

Infamous is fantastic. It may not sell well but its the true contender for best superhero series apart from Batman Arkham.

Spiderman is good but it doesn't have the calibur of these two amazing series.

I disagree that just because the two games are similar from a game-mechanics perspective then you have to like both. They are both very different from a content point of view. Tone of both games is also widely different.
