Injustice: Gods Among Us

There's nothing I love more than when two of my favorite nerd-gasms combine. In 2008 when WB dropped Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe I was super stoked. Now Netherrealm Studios is working on a DC Comics exclusive fighting game titled Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Netherrealm Studios put out Mortal Kombat durring 2011 making it the 9th installment of a Mortal Kombat Game. Come April they'll be doing it again only this time, with our favorite DC superheroes and villains. The storyline hasn't been divulged, but I'm okay with that. Let it come on it's own I say. I've seen some gameplay mechanics previews showing new gameplay techniques that haven't been used in other fighters. Most notably is the evolving stage mid-fight tactic that was brought into play during the MK vs DC days. It seems as if they've refined the concept to make it more immersive. Speaking of immersive, they've added interactive environments as well. Being able to beat up Aquaman with a car is way better than just your fists. I'm excited to see what else they have in store.
