Searching for "Justice"

The movie trailer from Marvel Comics, "The Avengers" finally arrived, thrilling fans. The clip featured the gang of favorites who band together to fight evil: Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, and the Hulk, to name many.

But the upcoming movie also moved some comic book junkies to search on the rival superhero team from DC Comics: "Justice League." That group of superheroes includes Superman, Green Lantern, the Flash, and Wonder Woman. One-day searches on Yahoo! shot up for "justice league movie" and "new justice league movie."

Hope DC fans are patient. "The Avengers" isn't out until May 2012. But "Justice League: Mortal" is still in development with a tentative release date of 2013.

Thor: God of Thunder Review

The Bad

• Shallow combat made worse by poor collision detection   
• Finicky camera and sluggish controls make navigation a chore   
• Excessively high difficulty level   
• Tedious boss fights   
• Outdated visuals with a stuttering frame rate.

The curse of the blockbuster movie adaptation has plagued the games industry for more than three decades, but even a history of futility will not prepare you for the digital misery that is Thor: God of Thunder. Every aspect of this slapdash action game is forged in the flames of failure. Amateurish voice acting and woefully outdated visuals serve as flashing red warning lights urging you to avoid this abomination, but it's the disastrous combat that ultimately punishes anyone unlucky enough to spend time with this awful game. Shallow combat marred by unresponsive controls and a stubborn camera is a recipe for pain, and when you combine those pieces with an unnaturally high difficulty level, it turns the entire endeavor into an agonizing ordeal. Even the biggest fans of Norse mythology and Marvel comics should stay far away. Thor: God of Thunder is a terrible game that has almost no redeeming qualities.
