Injustice is out!... for real this time

It's finally here everyone! Injustice: Gods Among Us is out today in the US for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U. I'll be picking up the game later today and, hopefully, the next time I post about it will be to write a review. I'll be trying to cover it as a fan of DC Comics, video games and, of course, Green Arrow. 

Anyway, no more talk. Go pick up the game, show Green Arrow some love and lets show everyone online why he's the best character out there. #OurArrowsWillBlotOutTheSun

Injustice Infographics

NetherRealm Studios released an infographic for the upcoming video game, Injustice: Gods Among Us. One infographic features a select group of heroes in the game. The other a select group of the game's villains. Both of them combine certain aspects of each group to create the ultimate hero/villain (see pic below). It's a fun little fact sheet and it's nice to see The Emerald Archer getting called out for being a top tier hero. Only a few more days until we can play as him for ourselves!

Injustice Is Out Now!.....On iOS

Well this feels like it kind of came out of nowhere. I thought I was keeping up on all things Injustice and then, yesterday, I find out that they released an iOS version. I spent some time playing it and it's actually quite fun. The game is set up a little differently than the console versions. You play through a series of ladder battles with a group of three superheroes or villains that you can tag in at any time. Along the way, you'll earn booster cards to improve your team members' stats and coins that allow you to buy new characters.

It's a free download for anyone with an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod. No word on an Android version) so there's really no reason to not at least try it. Maybe you'll get lucky and Green Arrow will be part of your starting team. Then you won't have to spend all of your coins to get him like I did.

Injustice Demo Reminder

Just a friendly reminder for anyone interested in the new game Injustice: Gods Among Us. The demo has been released on Xbox Live and PSN. I haven't seen anything about a Wii U version of the demo and there wasn't one up when I checked but I'll put something up if they release one later. For those of you with 360's and PS3's, go download the demo now! Seriously, there's no reason to waste time.

The demo gives you access to three characters and one stage. No, Green Arrow isn't one of the characters available in the demo but, come on, they aren't going to give us the good stuff for free. In the meantime though, you can get used to the controls and different fighting styles of Batman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor while fighting in Gotham.

Infinite Crisis Videogame

DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive announced a new PC game today called Infinite Crisis. It's a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game being made by the fine folks over at Turbine. As the title suggests, the game will use the DC Comics event as the basis of the game's story and it'll allow players to choose alternate universe versions of their favorite characters. Only a small group of characters have been shown so far (got enough Batman in there guys?) and while Green Arrow wasn't one of the ones shown today, he's bound to show up in the final roster what with the TV show and rejuvenated comic going for him.

The game is scheduled to release some time this year for PCs. With this and Injustice: Gods Among Us (out in a couple of weeks), Green Arrow will see more videogame screen time this year than he ever has before!

Injustice: Green Arrow vs Superman

Full disclosure: I fully expected Green Arrow to lose this fight. In a popularity contest, Superman is just too well known/loved to not win this match-up. That said, I at least hoped they would give Green Arrow a good showing. Let him chain a few good combos together and really take it to Ol' Supes for a bit. Instead, he ended up getting beat quicker than anyone else in the second round! Not cool NetherRealm.

On the plus side, we get our first look at the alternate skin based on the Arrow TV show and we get to hear a little bit of Stephen Amell's voice acting. Both of which look great.

Injustice: Green Arrow vs Hawkgirl

I know a few of my first posts are going to be a bit of old news since I just started the site. I'll try to get the site caught up on as much recent news as possible over the next few days so that I can focus on more current things.

That being said, Green Arrow took on Hawkgirl in the Injustice Battle Arena a couple of weeks ago. This is a promotion for the upcoming fighting game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, where fans get to vote on who would win each fight. The Battling Bowman put up a good showing against Hawkgirl and made it into round two....... where he'll take on Superman (underdog much?). Anyway, if you missed the first round go ahead and watch below and make sure to go to the quarter finals page to vote for Green Arrow! Hopefully he has a Kryptonite arrow in that quiver for round two.
