“Aw crap. Another Deathstroke player.”
This assassin-for-hire immediately became public enemy #1 upon the release of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Players of all sorts are crying foul over his seemingly cheap tactics. Instead of sending your Deathstroke-playing opponent whiny hate messages when you lose, why not take the beating to him instead? In this post, I’ll outline a few strategies and tactics you can use to subdue him once and for all.
Shoryuken.com has officially announced that Injustice: Gods Among Us will be officially added to the EVO 2013 lineup. Stage hazards and transitions will be allowed as well.
A massive sandstorm has decimated Dubai. At least one major troupe of American soldiers has tried to evacuate the locals with no luck. With that in mind, the U.S. military sends three Delta operators to check if there’s anyone left to save. What starts out like a pointless jaunt in the desert becomes far more messed up than anyone could have anticipated. Continue reading
Have you grown tired of cutting a rug with Ubisoft yet? Based on how well the Just Dance series continues to sell, probably not. Just Dance 4 is the recent main-line entry to the series that’s mostly another one of those. However, for fans of the series, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Also, the Wii U version that I’m playing has a few console-exclusive perks that may be enough get you back on the dance floor once again.

Injustice: Gods Among Us could have done less and still been a winner. Take the awesome Mortal Kombat engine, add DC Comics dudes in it and watch the rave reviews and dollars roll in. Instead, NetherRealm went above and beyond to make Injustice play like a real clash between superheroes. The end result is an enjoyable fighter that feels true to the source material.
A few nights ago, I was playing a few games of Injustice: Gods Among Us with Aaron from Splitkick and Jeff, who is a Splitkick community member. Inspired by Jeff’s use of Catwoman that night, I decided to give the character a go. I really love her rushdown style, though I find her execution requirements to be pretty high.
This video isn’t meant to be a definitive list of the best or flashiest Catwoman combos, though they are a few that I came up with that graze some of the more advanced aspects of creating combos with her. Check it out and let me know what you think!
I’ve been playing a lot of Injustice: Gods Among Us of late, and the one thing that really draws me to it is its flexible combo system. Within the confines of its combo strings, there’s a lot you can do to sequence them and throw in other types of moves to orchestrate a stylish barrage of attacks. This video of me pulling off some Batman combos is not meant to be best in class material. However, I wanted to show off a few of the sequences I currently have in my back pocket that are a bit more advanced in nature. I’ll definitely continue practicing in order to achieve maximum swag, but for now, I hope you enjoy!

Not sure if I’ve mentioned this on the blog, but I do bring it up on The Recurring Bosscast a lot. I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan. I own all of her albums, loudly sing her songs when she comes on the radio and am not ashamed to admit my fandom for her music. A few days after starting Rocksmith, I set myself a personal goal that I would one day learn how to play one of her songs. However, two things got in the way of that goal:
1) Most of her songs require a capo, which I don’t own. This is a relatively easy fix.
2) I just started learning how to play guitar and everything about it was hard.
The Mortal Kombat reboot was a pleasant surprise to me. I was mostly expecting a fighter that was a beginner-friendly button masher like its early 90s predecessors, but it was a genuine beast under the hood. I loved exploring the game’s mechanics and combo system and figuring out all of the cool things I could do as a Kitana player. Admittedly, it didn’t quite end up cracking my regular fighting game rotation, but I had a blast with it every time I played it.
Thanks to that positive experience with MK, it didn’t take much to sell me on Injustice: Gods Among Us.
