Injustice: Gods Among Us Review

image description

by staticneuron

One of the most oft-debated discussions in any comic shop or among friends when discussing the vast DC Comics universe is “Who would win in a fight?” It's a bone that DC throws its fans time and time again, with numerous Batman Vs. Superman match-ups for fans to enjoy; however, the results of these fights may not be what you expected as it's just that one writer's interpretation. Perhaps you truly believe that in a no-holds barred slugfest Superman really could defeat Batman, and what of the fights you may want to see that will most likely never get written? Bane Vs. Flash? Joker Vs. Aquaman? Lex Luthor Vs. Doomsday? If you've ever been the type to assemble DC Comics dream matches in your spare time, Injustice: Gods Among Us is the answer you've been waiting for.

Okami HD Review: The Sun god in dog form

image description

by staticneuron

Originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006, Okami is Clover Studio and Capcom's unique action-adventure video game that can seem a little strange in Western culture. After all, most gamers take on the role of a human being or even an alien race that still resembles the humanoid structure, so filling the shoes—paws?—of a wolf is definitely a change that can throw off a player. Despite this, the original title was a resounding hit, and popular demand has led to a re-release in the form of Okami HD for the PlayStation 3.

by staticneuron

Virtua Fighter is a series that most people likely haven't thought of in some time, with the exception of the news that a trio of characters would be making an appearance in Dead or Alive 5 as playable fighters.

Now, though, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown makes a comeback on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 with noticeable improvements from its original release back in 2006.
