A Must Play - Injustice: Gods Among Us

Need a game that you and your friends can hash out any disputes? My advice other than physical calamity is to check out the game Injustice: Gods Among Us! The fighting video really lives up to the title, for it includes the popular DC characters that everyone loves and enjoys. In sense, we really do get an actual Batman V. Superman collision that is worth viewing… on the small screen at least (until the big film appears next year). What makes this game really enjoyable is the style which is based on the Mortal Kombat system in terms of control and mechanics. However, this games skips the gore but it does include the blood (rated M for mature). The story is rather convoluted yet pleasurable, especially if you’re a huge fan of the traditional characters before comics were targeted for the young adult crowd. In this game, the Joker somehow tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane while destroying the city of Metropolis. Joker was able to detonate a nuclear bomb while infusing fear gas and kryptonite on Superman, who kills Lois Lane and their unborn unintentionally. This sets Superman on a warpath and he kills the Joker. As a result, the emotionally damaged and power hungry Superman creates a totalitarian administration that acts as a world government. He recruits other heroes, any that oppose will face the chance of bereavement. Batman teams up with Lex Luthor in attempt to square off with the evil Superman. With all the heroes joining the dark side, Batman is able to use some sort of singularity pool to communicate with the Justice League of a different universe; same characters, different events (Joker plan didn’t pan out well). Playable characters includes many of our favorite heroes like Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and many, many more. As opposed to the narrative, gamers are allowed the freedom to face off against one another in a battle of ‘what if’. You might be wondering: how could anyone beat the almighty Superman? Well, within story mode they explain that each character is given some enhancements in order to combat the Man of Steel, which carries over into the ‘Vs’ mode. As an avid player of the game, the idea of DC characters going against one another really keeps the geek in me giddy. I remember when this was first announced, I made sure to keep up with whenever Gamestop was allowing pre-orders. If you’re still not convinced, check out this trailer that was release about two years ago….
