Injustice: Gods Among Us
Stupid title aside, I'm actually really excited for this game. The new Netherrealm Studios put out an amazing effort with their last title Mortal Kombat 9 and I think they can do the same here. I'm not exactly a fan of fighting-games but the single player story was top notch and it had a plethora of modes and plenty to do and unlock. So as long as this is "Mortal Kombat 9 with a DC skin" and has an interesting story-line similar in scope to MK9; it will be one of my favorite games of the year.
Nothing will stop me from hating the armor on The Flash though. WHY DOES HE NEED ARMOR?
Young Justice: Legacy
It looks like a poor-mans port of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I'm not going to be that interested in the title until we get an update on which characters are playable. But I'm sure it will be fun for co-op purposes. Even if it turns out horrible, I'll still probably play it because the story-line seems to fill in a lot of the plot-holes inherent in the Young Justice tv show; and I can't have that!
The Amazing Spider-Man
This is the game I'm most looking forward to in the umbrella of "comic-book" games. And it's a movie-tie in game, what are the odds of that! Beenox has proved to me time and time again that they know how to make an awesome Spider-Man game. Combine that with the free-roaming aspect of previous Spidey games and you have the potential for a top notch entry in Beenox's library. Here's to hoping they have plenty of alternate costumes to swing around in!
The Avengers: Battle for Earth
I have never been a fan of motion gaming. I never will be a fan of motion gaming. It just doesn't work for me. I tolerate it with the Wii because Nintendo knows how to incorporate their gimmicks well; but for this....I'm not looking forward to it. Even if I did own a Kinect it seems to be a straight up copy of countless Kinect fighters I've seen before. Ugh...pass.
Marvel Heroes
Well, it looks to be an online version of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. I can get behind that, especially with the prospect of a constantly expanding character roster. I'll try it out either way, but I doubt I'll subscribe unless it's free-to-play. I already have enough worries on my mind without adding another monthly charge onto things.
And those are my thoughts on the new games showcased at this year's E3. It's nice seeing only one of them being a movie-tie in game (and it looks good on top of that!). Of course, these will all pale in comparison to LEGO Batman 2; which comes out this month! June 19th to be exact. You all better pick it up and play it with me! Or I'll find you and force the game into your hands.
Until next time comics fans, stay golden.
