Everybody’s favourite god, (Wow I’m probably going to get in trouble for that one), Thor, is back! Marvel has struck the world like lightning with Thor: The Dark World and a mobile video game along side it. Developer Gameloft has taken a lot of risks with this title, stepping away from the expected and surprising players with a fresh take on controlling the popular Asgardian.
Carl Williams writes, "Historically, movie licensed games or games created to celebrate a movie, have sucked worse than many of the original titles on any given platform. With the popularity of Android as a gaming platform, games have come fast and heavy including those that carry the license of a major movie. As usual, some suck, some don’t and a few are better than anyone would have given them a chance to be. Here are five of the better ones that Android gamers can grab, for free if you avoid In App Purchases on your Android device right now."
Scarface: The World Is Yours on PS2.
The first 3 Harry Potter games back on the PS2.
Spider-Man 2 on PS2.
Ghostbusters on C64 was awesome. Nightbreed on Amiga was good too.
AR - Thor: The Dark World is loosely based on the movie of the same name. Does it break the curse of poor movie games?
Thor: The Dark World’s interesting gameplay spark is its reliance on summoned allies. During missions Thor can summon lesser fighters, such as swordsmen, archers and so on. These warriors will aid in combat. Indeed, using allies is rather vital to stay alive as they act as meatshields and take some of the heat off of Thor in battle. Unfortunately, allies have nearly non-existent AI. Once summoned they march forward constantly and die very quickly. They ignore enemy numbers or other dangers and cannot be ordered to go after a specific target or even told to wait. This makes them remarkably short lived.
If you are a Marvel fan then this is a must have game for your device.
