Marvel: Avengers Alliance

Playdom

Who didn't love seeing the Avengers come to life in Joss Whedon's masterpiece of a movie this summer? Well, the indulging doesn't have to end when you leave the theater  and you don't even have to fork out the $30 for a pair of tickets in this game developed for Facebook uses (there is a standalone web version).

The story line is very thorough to the point that you may find yourself just hitting next 1,000 times just to get to the game aspect of it, but for the hardcore fans it's fleshed out enough to make for a good read. Also, all of the characters are there, from X-Men to Avengers, Spider-man to Fantastic Four, allowing you to create awesome match ups, though limited to two heroes, plus your personal SHIELD Agent character, at a time.

The Game is free, though as you play it several 'secret missions' become available that can be pretty diffucult to complete for the causual gamer, which translates to not unlocking the super awesome bonus items and characters, which leads to a lot of frustration when trying to compete in the Player vs. Player arenas.

Recommendation - If you are a true Marvel Fan, give this game a spin, if you are not interested in putting a little bit of hard earned money into it, then quickly put it down again, but this game is definitely one that you can get sucked into and lost in.
