Happy Flash
Friday everyone! I know we stumbled for
a bit at the beginning of the year, but the Flash Friday updates are going
strong again. In fact I originally had a
completely different update planned for today but a trip to the Xbox Live
changed all of that. So not only is
there a Flash Friday for today, you are guaranteed one next week.
This week
Injustice: Gods Among Us, the DC fighting game from the makers of Mortal Kombat,
came out. Despite the Flash being
included on the fighting roster I didn’t pre-order this one. I actually haven’t planned to pick it up at
all. A few years ago I had jumped on the
Mortal Kombat vs DC game and was overwhelmed by mediocrity. It wasn’t bad enough to hate and it wasn’t
good enough to enjoy. Unfortunately it’s
because of that game I haven’t really been able to get excited about Injustice.
As I turned my
Xbox on the other night to spend some time with the fantastic Battleblock
Theater I was greeted with ads for Injustice that informed me that the game was
now available. Knowing how things work
in Xbox land I quickly went to the avatar store to see if Injustice had its own
extras. I was not disappointed. For 400 Microsoft points you can clad your
avatar in the Injustice version of the Flash’s costume. Unlike Batman who has 5 or 6 options to go
with, this is the only Flash costume currently available on Xbox.
For 80 Microsoft
points you can forgo the full costume and instead choose to rock the Flash
T-Shirt. I won’t lie, I picked this one
up. As I clicked to add the shirt my
wife looked at the TV and said, “That’s scary, it looks just like you.” That’s all I’ve got for you today, check out
the Xbox Avatar store for more superhero goodness, and if you picked up
Injustice let me know what you think about it.
i did the same thing - and got the same response from my wife. haha!
ReplyDeleteI've been playing Injustice despite being a lapsed gamer. And I'm hooked. As a Flash fan, I love the super move which reminds me a bit of Wally's attack on Luthor/Braniac in Justice League. Wish there were more Flash villains though. I would have thought a reskinned Flash would get you Zoom, and Gorilla Grodd (ape like fighting style, brute strength, biting attacks and mental force of mind blasts) would have made for great gameplay.I'd recommend it.
