Oh yeah started up Arkham Asylum. Wow at the graphics, superb detail and polish. Love the cartoon voice actors. 

The camera is fabulous in the way it moves about framing the action, except when you walk up to and talk to a character when it cuts instead of seamlessly moving like it usually does. 

The controls are really well worked too. The opening was impressive but less so because it was copy of Chronicles of Riddick basically. The metroid like scanner is nice, not as good as metroids scanner but nice all the same. It's sort of an auto-scanner that should have been adopted ages ago in more games, prince of persia could certainly use one. 

It's a great production and they go out of their way to try and make you feel like a badass, to feel like batman. 

My only problem is that the actual gameplay almost feels like its halfway between proper control and QTE. It's like sitting on the border between proper gameplay and almost insulting. 

You vaguely point batman in the general direction of a bad guy, hit the X button and batman sort of magnetically leaps towards him doing all sorts of cool looking moves, capped off with some slow mo, close up. And I'm sitting there thinking - I only hit the X button a couple of times. 

Then the stealth stuff, zooming up to the ceiling. Again you sort of vaguely point batman towards a gargoyle, an icon pops up, you hit the button, hit it again, then an indicator pops up "kill bad guy" you press the button and batman kills bad guy. It's almost QTE. 

Still it's pretty cool so far, but I can't see myself giving it anything over like an 8.9 if the rest of the gameplay remains this simple.

Heh -that's what i was thinking when I played  it on my brothers ps3. You end up looking really accomplished to any non gamer bystanders though. I pretty much relied on * leap over enemy - punch - finisher *  Repeat.  Only seem to need any strategy for the bosses.

I really liked when the areas open up and you can cable your way upwards and then glide down onto enemies. Great fun. After a few hours I was getting a little tired of all the generic thugs.

Steel, what should I be looking for?

I've already seen a physio and they were shit, don't want to go through that again. I want a proper diagnosis first and foremost to find out what's wrong.

The page you linked here offers a wide variety of services, but there's no use for them unless you know the underlying cause of your back pain.

What kind of assessment did you undergo with the physician?

Yeah,  I think you need to find a doctor that's not an idiot. I'm trying to find a new guy myself. It was amazing the stuff he misdiagnosed or ignored and when I finally badgered him enough he referred me to someone competent that successfully diagnosed some of my problems like instantly. I was so pissed that my regular guy had been telling me the wrong things to do or had been insisting that "oh yeah that's just natural."  

Find someone else if he's not helping you.
