Briefly: If you’ve held off on Injustice: Gods Among Us for this long, now is the perfect time to pick it up.

The ‘Ultimate Edition’ of the game has just launched, featuring the core game, plus every piece of DLC that’s been released for it. That means six new characters, and dozens (and dozens) of new skins.

I’m not usually a big fighting game fan, but I absolutely fell in love with Injustice. This is the game that I wanted Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe to be back in the day, and NetherRealm Studios has done some incredible work with the title.

The Injustice: Gods Among Us – Ulimate Edition is available now on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Playstation Vita, and PC. The PS4 version features full 1080p graphics at 60 frames per second, and should be just beautiful. Players who pick up the PS3 version can upgrade to the PS4 edition for just $10!

Take a look at the game’s launch trailer below, which showcases the game’s stellar cast, and let us know if you enjoyed the title!

“Gods Among Us” debuts as a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Deathstroke, Solomon Grundy, Superman, Lex Luthor, The Flash, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Bane, Catwoman, Shazam, Black Adam, Raven, the Joker, Doomsday, Killer Frost, Ares and more. Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale.

Briefly: Could this be the BIG NEWS that NetherRealm co-founder Ed Boon tweeted about?

The studio has just announced a new edition of their popular, acclaimed Injustice: Gods Among Us. The new, “Ultimate Edition” of the title includes (of course), the base game, and all of the DLC that’s been released so far (there’s quite a lot of it).

This edition is coming to PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox 360, and PC, apparently leaving out the Xbox One, and totally leaving out the Wii U (which still hasn’t received any DLC). It launches on November 12th in North America, and November 29th in Europe.

This is a great buy for anyone that hasn’t yet picked up Injustice. The game is one of the best brawlers that I’ve played in some time, and it’s definitely a title that benefits from an expansive library of DLC.

Take a look at the launch trailer for Injustice below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up the new version!

Briefly: Last week, NetherRealm Studios revealed that the next DLC character for Injustice: Gods Among Us would be none other than Zatanna.

The character’s first debut trailer showed some pretty impressive skills, along with (naturally) very flashy moves. Zatanna’s finishing move, however, is likely the most boring of the game’s entire roster.

The Zatanna DLC has just launched, and is now available for download (for a measly $5 / 400 MS Points) on PS3 and Xbox 360. Wii U owners like myself, are again out of luck, and will probably never see the DLC… like, ever.

Take a look at Zatanna’s history below, and let us know if you’ll be downloading the character!

Briefly: The next DLC character for NetherRealm Studios fantastic Injustice: Gods Among Us has been revealed.

The first gameplay trailer for Zatanna has debuted online, showing off some pretty impressive moves, and finishing things off with a very lazy finisher (probably the most boring one that I’ve seen). All around, the character looks pretty neat, and should be welcomed by gamers who are itching for a new fighter.

Watch Zatanna’s gameplay footage below, and let us know what you think! We’ll let you know when Zatanna releases!

Briefly: Last week it was reveal that J’onn J’onzz would not be the final DLC character to join Injustice: Gods Among Us‘ already expansive roster.

Today, Martian Manhunter officially released, and is absolutely itching for a fight. The character is available for $4.99 (or 400MS Points) on PS3 and Xbox 360. It has not been announced if or when he’ll be dropping on the Wii U version of the game (which seems to be all but forgotten these days).

NetherRealm today released a video describing the history of the character, so if you’re unfamiliar, take a look below, and let us know if you’ll be picking him up!

Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale.

To say that the downloadable characters released for Injustice: Gods Among Us were contentious would be an understatement. After a generally well received announcement of Lobo, the releases of Batgirl, Mortal Kombat’s Scorpion and Man of Steel villain Zod divided the community amongst people who felt more Batman and Superman characters was overkill, along with a guest character taking a slot in what many assumed was a DC exclusive fighter. But most of all, some were mad because there were still vital pieces of the DC Universe missing, especially Justice League mainstay Martian Manhunter. At EVO, NetherRealm Studios showed they were listening, answering the fan’s request and adding Manhunter to the Injustice cast along with an extra surprise.

The reveal trailer showed Manhunter going against John Stewart’s Green Lantern, displaying some impressive use of his shape shifting and telepathic abilities. Stewart on the other hand, is a new skin for the Hal Jordan version in the standard game, so while his moves are the same, it sounds like the developers were able to secure the Justice League Unlimited voice actor from the animated series for both. It would have been nice to see some new constructs, but then again, I’m happy that Stewart is in at all. Completing the Justice League animated cast on top of a brand new character is better than expected.

Injustice Zatanna

Will Zatanna make the DLC cut?

But the good news doesn’t stop there. Ed Boon recently tweeted that MM and Stewart won’t be the final additions, stating that the next one is a, “BIG fan favorite request!” What this means is anyone’s guess, but the character request polls were led by Zatanna and Red Hood. Considering the backlash towards more Batman characters, I’m guessing Zatanna is getting in. While I personally would be happy with Hood, (or Black Canary and Huntress for that matter,) Zatanna would be a great addition to a roster with a lack of magic users save for Raven.

The moral of the story? Don’t buy season passes!

Martian Manhunter and John Stewart will be available on July 30th for $4.99. Whether or not a second season pass for the new wave of fighters, who the next character will be, and how many characters will be added from here is unknown, but details will be posted as they become available.

Last week, it was revealed that the next DLC character for NetherRealm Studios Injustice: Gods Among Us would be none other than General Zod. This of course tied in nicely with the release of this Summer’s biggest film, Man of Steel.

Today, the first trailer for the character has been released. I’ve been addicted to Injustice for quite some time now, and Zod certainly looks like a formidable opponent. Man of Steel fans will also enjoy a film-inspired skin for Superman, with both pieces of DLC releasing on July 2nd.

Watch the trailer and check out the new skin below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

Injustice: Gods Among Us introduces a new franchise in the fighting game genre and a brand new story created in collaboration between NetherRealm Studios, DC Entertainment and comic book writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti. As the story unfolds, players will experience the power, gadgetry and unparalleled strength of some the most popular DC Comics heroes and villains, such as Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, The Joker and others, as they engage in epic battles in a world where the line between good and evil is blurred.

This is a great movie tie-in.

Last night’s Conan had the hilarious host reviewing the new DC brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us. The game released back in April, and has been garnering plenty of acclaim ever since. Fighting games, by nature, beg for DLC, and Injustice has had its fair share of it. Characters (Batgirl and Mortal Kombat‘s Scorpion so far), costume packs, and more have already been released, and last night’s Conan revealed the next character you’ll be adding to your roster: Zod.

No word yet on when Zod will be available, but seeing as Man of Steel is releasing today, I’d expect it to happen soon. The character looks like a formidable opponent, and sports a very cool finishing move, so it should please fans of both the character and game alike. Watch Conan’s review/reveal below, and let us know what you think!

Warner Bros. Interactive has just revealed the next piece of DLC for the wildly popular Injustice: Gods Among Us… and it isn’t a DC character at all.

NetherRealm studios, of course, was the developer of the renowned Mortal Kombat remake in 2011. The next character is pulled directly from that title, but with a cool new design by DC superstar Jim Lee: Scorpion.

Scorpion’s release date is currently unknown, but the character will retail for $4.99. Watch Jim Lee and Ed Boon introduce the character below, and let us know if you’ll be picking him up!

Last week, the second DLC character for the acclaimed Injustice: Gods Among Us was revealed to be Batgirl. Today, we got our first good look at just what she’s capable of, thanks to a cool new trailer from NetherRealm Studios.

I haven’t yet had a chance to pick up Injustice myself, but I’m really looking forward to the day I do. I’ve been thoroughly impressed by what I’ve played of the title, and if review scores are any indication, so is everyone else. I can’t wait to see what NetherRealm has in store for us with the game’s continued DLC.

Watch the Batgirl trailer below, and let us know how you’re liking the game!

Injustice is awesome. I was weary about the title for a long time (remember Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe?), but after finally getting a chance to play the demo and a few rounds of the full game, it’s safe to say that it’s a wonderful experience. It’s also an experience that is only going to get better with time, as NetherRealm has confirmed that there is plenty of DLC coming.

Last week, Lobo was announced as the first DLC character. NetherRealm revealed today via twitter that Batgirl is next. They released a single image (and she looks pretty damn cool), and her first gameplay trailer is set to drop next week.

Take a look at the image below, and let us know if you’re enjoying the game!

Hot on the heels of the awesome Green Lantern trailer from earlier this week, Warner Bros. Interactive and NetherRealm studios have just released the official launch trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. The game looks bad-ass, and if you’ve had an opportunity to play the recently released demo, you’ll know that the game plays wonderfully; I can’t wait to get my hands on the retail version and see just what each character has to offer.

There’s just a few more days to wait for this one: Injustice: Gods Among Us hits shelves on April 16th! Can’t wait that long? Hopefully the cool iOS version can make time pass just a bit more quickly.

Watch the launch trailer below, and let us know who you’re most excited to play as!

This is probably the best trailer I’ve seen for this game. Wow.

Warner Bros. Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios today released a new character trailer for their upcoming DC brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us. This one features our pal Hal Jordan, and shows off plenty of new footage, as well as some very cool moves.

Watch the awesome new trailer below, and let us know what you think! Injustice: Gods Among Us releases April 16th. A demo for the game is available now.

Well, this is unexpected.

We’re just a few weeks away from the release of NetherRealm Studios latest console brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us. Yesterday, a playable demo for the game was released, showcasing just a few of the action-packed battles you’ll be able to partake in once the full featured edition hits shelves. Today, the studio released a mobile version.

Injustice: Gods Among Us hit the iOS app store earlier this evening for the wonderful price of $0.00. I had the opportunity to play a few matches, and just like NetherRealm’s last iOS title (Batman: Arkham City Lockdown), Injustice looks great, plays smoothly, and maintains simple, understandable, nigh-perfect controls. The mechanics of the game are also a little different from its console sibling, the mobile edition mixing the classic fighter with a neat card-battling system.

Sure, it’s not the console version, and that’s one of the best things about it. With a few exceptions, direct console ports simply don’t work well on touchscreen devices. NetherRealm knows that, and both of their iOS titles have been excellent, both as standalone and companion games.

Did I mention that it’s free, AND that you can unlock items for the console version? Download Injustice: Gods Among Us on the App Store, and let us know what you think! Not quite sold? Check out an overview of the title, courtesy of IGN!

Warner Bros. Interactive and Netherrealm Studios today released a new trailer for their upcoming DC brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us. This preview features a bunch of new footage and showcases some of the various features the game will have at release.

Yesterday, a playable demo for the game launched on Xbox Live and Playstation Network. If you’ve had a chance to try it, be sure to let us know your first impressions! In any case, watch the new trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up Injustice on April 16th!

In bigger gaming news, have you read about the closure of LucasArts?

We’re now just a few weeks away from the release date of Injustice: Gods Among Us, and Warner Bros. Interactive today revealed that a playable demo for the game will be hitting Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 2nd.

I was rather reserved about Injustice when I first learned of its existence (we’re all well aware of how Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe turned out), but the more footage I see, the more I can see that the developers are trying (and hard) to avoid a repeat of that disaster. A playable demo well before the game’s release date is a great gesture, and I’m sure that if the quality is there, it will win back fans that still have a bad taste in their mouth from that last DC brawler.

A new trailer for the game has also been released featuring Black Adam. Watch it below, and let us know what you think! Injustice: Gods Among Us hits stores on April 16th.

Following the Lex Luthor trailer from a few weeks back, NetherRealm Studios has unveiled a new story trailer for their upcoming brawler, Injustice: Gods Among Us. This new trailer focusses on The Joker’s favourite gal, Harley Quinn, and shows just how different her situation turned out in this alternate DC universe.

Anyone been picking up the prequel comic? Any thoughts on that?

Less than two weeks after Aquaman’s announcement, Warner Bros. Interactive has revealed Sinestro as the latest character to join the ranks of Injustice: Gods Among Us.

 

The character’s moves and abilities are still unknown, but that should all change on Friday when Injustice’s next Battle Arena video is released.

What do you think of this addition? Who are you most excited to play as? Will you be picking up Injustice: Gods Among Us when it hits shelves on April 16th?

The game is looking pretty rad… but so did Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, and we all know how that turned out.

This game just keeps getting cooler.

 

Warner Bros. Interactive revealed today that Aquaman will be joining the multitude of characters taking a stand in Injustice: Gods Among Us. A fairly badass reveal trailer accompanied the announcement, and if it’s any indication, Aquaman will be a force to be reckoned with.

This sounds like a very cool marketing campaign. Anyone in the US looking forward to Injustice: Gods Among Us also has a chance to win some cool prizes!

With just a couple more months to go until the game releases, it’s about time that marketing started to ramp up. Warner Bros. Interactive and DC today introduced a new campaign for the game titled Injustice Battle Arena.

 

Here’s the description:

 

For the next 10 weeks, the roster of legendary DC Comics characters will enter the Injustice Battle Arena. Each week, a new pair of challengers will enter the arena, as fans are given the opportunity to vote on who they believe would come out as champion.

Every Monday, combatants will be revealed in weekly match-up videos. Detailing the skills, attributes and technology of the week’s competing DC Comics warriors, the videos also include man-on-the-street and celebrity experts explaining which character in the battle has earned their vote.

All votes and submissions must be submitted by Thursday night, and the results will be announced in a final fight video, showing the all-out battles and ultimate victor of that week’s match-up.

 

Today also marked the release of the first match-ups, featuring Batman vs. Bane, and Harley Quinn vs. Wonder Woman! Check it out below, and head here to vote (and get entered to win those sweet, sweet prizes).

 

 

Of course, if you’d like to know more, check out the snazzy announcement video, explaining just what’s about to go down! Watch it below, and let us know what you think! Injustice: Gods Among Us releases on April 16th, 2013.

 

Are you planning to pick the game up? Which characters are you most looking forward to playing? Are you reading the tie-in comic?

Yuri Lowenthal drops by to talk about how things are going with his series ‘Shelf Life’ and the new ‘Ben 10: Omniverse’ DVD coming out next week! He also reads some audition lines for Nightwing in Injustice: Gods Among Us! ‘Fringe’ and ‘Arrow’ star Seth Gabel calls in to talk about his new movie ‘Allegiance’ and tells us a bit about trying to score an audition for SHIELD and his Arrow character based on Count Vertigo! Also! We play some chiptunes music from our very own Geekscapist Charlie Armour! Plus much more! This episode is packed!

Everyone around these parts seems to be quite looking forward to Injustice: Gods Among Us. It’s a new brawler from the creators of Mortal Kombat, one of the available editions comes with an awesome looking fight stick, and of course we’ve got all of our favourite characters from the DC universe.

 

Up until now however, we had no idea what the game was about. Sure, everyone’s fighting, but just what is all the fuss about? Today, just over two months before the game releases, Warner Bros. Interactive has filled us in. A new trailer has been released for the game, featuring pretty much all the plot they could squeeze into two minutes.

 

Check out the new trailer below, and let us know what you think! Injustice: Gods Among Us hits PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 16th!

 

Netherrealm Studios today released a new trailer for the upcoming (and surprisingly anticipated) DC brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us.

 
The trailer features our first real look at how Lex Luthor will be keeping up with our super-powered heroes, and we also get to hear a lot of new voice acting.

 

The game certainly looks presentable, let’s just hope the gameplay is  vastly different from the last DC fighter, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

 

Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Injustice: Gods Among Us launches on April 19th.

 

Injustice: Gods Among Us, the new DC fighter from the creators of Mortal Kombat, is nearly upon us. Warner Bros. Interactive and DC announced today that the anticipated brawler will hit store shelves on April 16th for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U. The game looks decent from everything we’ve seen so far, but then again, so did Mortal Combat Vs. DC Universe… and we all know how that one turned out!

 

Along with the release date, yet another version of the game was revealed. Along with the standard and already announced Collector’s editions, a limited Battle Edition will also be up for grabs.

 

The Battle Edition features everything from the Collector’s Edition (listed below), as well as an exclusive fight stick, so you can absolutely destroy everyone stuck using a standard controller. The newly announced version will retail for $149.99.

 

Collector’s Edition contents:

 

-Exclusive DC Collectibles statue featuring iconic characters Batman and Wonder Woman, the Fortress of Solitude, and the Last Son of Krypton’s escape ship

-Special Collector’s Edition of the Injustice: Gods Among Us comic book

-Digital download of DC Universe animated film Justice League: Doom

-Three exclusive skins based on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman from DC COMICS – THE NEW 52

Are you looking forward to this one? Which version are you planning to pick up? How did you feel about Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe?

 

UPDATE: We just received word from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment that today’s press release contained one small error… Wii U owners, sorry to get your hopes up, but the game is only releasing on Sony’s Playstation 3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Damn.

 

IGAU_Battle Edition_PS3

Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat and Creative Director at NetherRealm studios today confirmed two more additions for the cast of upcoming fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us. Both Green Lanter and The Joker will be playable characters when the game releases in April.

The confirmation came via a twitter post earlier this morning:

No screenshots or trailers have ben released featuring the newly announced characters. Boon stated that those should hit later today.

If you haven’t seen much of Injustice, you should definitely check out this gameplay footage. The game looks to be shaping up nicely. In any case, it looks infinitely better than Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

How do you think the game looks? Who else do you want to see on the roster?

Like they did with Batman: Arkham City, Warner Brothers Interactive will release a collectors edition of Injustice: God Among Us. The collectors edition will be released same time as the regular version, but will contain a whole bunch of extras for that extra price. The extras include a 25cm tall statue of Batman and Wonder Woman, steelbook case, two issues of a brand new DC Comics series and three DCnU skins for Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.  You’ll only be able to pick it up for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 though because the Wii U will be missing out on the edition. The collectors edition of Injustice: Gods Among Us set you back $99.99.

So, if you haven’t guessed by my bad pun who the latest addition is or by the picture above…it’s Catwoman. Check out the reveal trailer where she lets her claws out below!

Injustice: Gods Among Us release date TBA.

Thanks to IGN we have a fourteen minute look at the upcoming ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ narrated by none other than Ed Boon himself.

What if our greatest heroes became our greatest threat? From the indomitable DC Comics and the makers of the definitive fighting game franchise Mortal Kombat comes Injustice: Gods Among Us, a bold fighting game featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons. Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale. A deep, original story compliments the fighting action that pits many of the great heroes and villains from the DC universe against each other — Batman, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman and many others lose their allegiances and fight for Injustice!
