Chris Buffa (Modojo): This Sunday, The Rock battles John Cena in a WrestleMania rematch. Meanwhile, virtual Rock takes on a bunch of muscle bound creeps in WWE's free-to-play iOS and Android beat-em-up, Rockpocalypse. Similar to Infinity Blade, this third-person brawler pits your character (in this case, The Great One) against a series of opponents in one-on-one combat, where you swipe in all directions to lay the smack down. While not bad per se, the combat is too slow to get us excited.
GameZebo: When The Rock isn't playing the role of part-time WWE Champion on Monday Night Raw, he can often be found playing other parts on various movie sets. But something strange is happening in Studio 51, and it seems everyone around has either gone missing or wants The Rock dead (or at least beaten severely). Are they rabid John Cena fans? Movie critics who think five Fast & Furious movies was enough?
DHGF:
Monday night I was at the WWE Raw/Smackdown/Saturday Morning Slam/Main Event tapings here in Washington D.C. (Five+ hours of wrestling…oy) and one of the things they repeatedly plugged was a new freemium iOS game called Rockpocalypse. I figured it couldn’t be worse than WWE Betrayal, right? Plus it was free so I downloaded it. After spending a few days with it, here are ten quick thoughts on the game.
Wild week in gaming. Just plain nutty. As with every Thursday, I shall now provide a fully interactive and quite serious discussion of the headlines that shape our very lives!
