Injustice: Gods among us review

I have never enjoyed a fighter game in my life. When people were going crazy for street fighter, I was focusing on Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior. So, Fighters have never had a spot in my gaming library. I picked this game up on a lark,. and didn’t expect to enjoy the game at all. I expected to just tool around with it a bit and go back to playing Battlefield 4, however I found myself quickly hooked on this game!

It’s made by the same folks who did the Mortal Kombat games(And in fact has 1 MK character in it..Scorpion), so you know the game is polished. The graphics are absolutely incredible and will make your eyes melt with pleasure!

So, what’s so great about this game? Too much to list, but I will try to list a few! Most characters have several different costume options/skins, so you can wear a classic superman outfit, or superman from the current movie costume. You can wear a classic batman outfit, or his outfit from Arkham city, You can be Classic Green Arrow, or “The Hood”/Arrow from the series. There are a lot of costumes.

Also, the arenas are interactive, and will become damaged as you have your superbrawl. you can also interact with items around the arena. There’s not TOO many arenas, but enough to give you a variety of choices. I hope more arenas get released as DLC.

The best thing though, is the story mode. Now, I am not a big fan of fighters, so I am not sure if it’s common or not, but this game has a full featured campaign mode, which is basically cutscenes connecting to a pre-determined arena battle. It’s an enjoyable story as well, and I couldn’t stop playing.

Once the campaign is done, the funs not over though, since there are STARS Missions, Multiplayer Arenas and Single player arena battles(Which should just basically be practice for multiplayer mode).

SoulCalibur IV

Some of you may know that SoulCalibur IV was released yesterday. Well, I decided I just HAD to pick this game up. So, I pre-ordered this sucker and got my copy! What did I think of it? Before I answer that I should clear up a few things.

First, I am not a fan of the SoulCalibur games. In fact this is the first one I have ever played! Yes, you read true….I have never played a SoulCalibur game before yesterday. Obviously then my opinion won’t be that of a SoulCalibur fanboy.

Secondly, I am not a fan of fighter games in general. In fact, in most cases I despise them! This includes Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and even Virtua Fighter. Although there was this wrestling game I did like..However I wouldn’t consider that a fighter title.

So, now you might be asking yourself “Why the hell did you get this???”and the answer is simple. I am a geek! Not the smart kind of geek either, just the weird creepy kind of geek…Although I am not stupid by any means..At any rate, I am a geek, and well…quite honestly, I got it cause Yoda from StarWars was in it.

At any rate! The graphics are great, but thats the only thing I found entertaining. Even playing Yoda was pretty much crap. I was extremely disappointed. Im not saying its a bad horrible game. If you love these games, its prolly going to appeal to you. However not my cuppa tea, and even Master Yoda wasnt enough to change my mind on this game.
