    Marvel meets XCOM in Avengers Alliance Tactics

    By

    Marvel: Avengers Alliance and XCOM: Enemy Unknown don't have much in common except for the colons in their names and the fact that they're both awesome games. But if we could somehow cause them to meet, fall in love and procreate, it's possible we'd end up with a turn-based tactics game with a full complement of Marvel super heroes and villains.If that sounds like something you'd play (and it should), you might be happy to know that we can skip the awkward courtship process and just wait a little bit. Marvel just announced Avengers Alliance Tactics, a squad-based game for Facebook that will hit the U.S. "soon."Borrowing from the successful XCOM formula, the new title puts players in the boots of a S.H.I.E.L.D. commander, controlling the actions of agents and Avengers alike. If Avengers Alliance is any indication, the game's story should spread from the Savage Land to familiar locations all over the Marvel Universe. Various heroes will be available for recruitment and advancement, no doubt showing off increasingly powerful abilities along the way.

    A “Marvel”ous opportunity: Glitchsoft talks Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past

    By

    It's hard to get too excited about mobile games that are movie tie-ins. They often seem perfunctory, like they were rolled off an assembly line, and if the movie in question is based on a comic book, that only leads to disappointed fans.Good thing, then, that the upcoming Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past is no movie adaptation. Though its May launch on iOS and Android is no doubt intended to coincide with the May 23 release of the X-Men: Days of Future Past film, it's going to one-up Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and company when it comes to staying faithful to the classic story from the Marvel comics.That means Kitty Pryde will be doing the time traveling instead of Wolverine. It also means settings and backdrops taken right from Uncanny X-Men #141 and #142, and the pop culture buffs at Glitchsoft, the Canadian studio developing the game, wouldn't have it any other way.

    Marvel Run Jump Smash! Review

    By

    I'm a sucker for superhero games. If you follow my scribblings here at Gamezebo, you'll have probably figured that out already. So when I learned that Disney was bringing their Korean mobile hit Marvel Run Jump Smash! to the West, I was ready to welcome it with open arms.…but it's gameplay just didn't welcome me back.Marvel Run Jump Smash! is an endless runner that's trapped pretty firmly in the past. You'll have a selection of superheroes that you'll cycle through, but in the end it all plays out very much the same: you'll run, you'll jump, you'll smash. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    I've been playing a lot of Marvel: Avengers Alliance recently.  Call it a guilty pleasure, but as a superhero nerd and an RPG fan, I have a hard time walking away from Playdom's pairing of the two.  Also, their Avengers vs. X-Men mission set has kind of dug its claws into me in that "gotta complete'em all!" way that Facebook games sometimes do.  So last week, I sat down to write up a new article: 5 characters we'd love to see in Marvel: Avengers Alliance.

    There's no denying the card-battle genre has seen an influx in popularity as of late. This is especially true in the mobile space, which can largely be attributed to the combined attributes of a touch screen interface and the ability to take the game with you wherever you go. It's a match made in heaven, and DeNA and Marvel have decided to hop on board with the upcoming Marvel: War of Heroes for iOS and Android, a card game featuring a wealth of Marvel characters.
