April may not be as exciting as March in terms of the games launched but it is still an interesting month. This month we have games from a variety of genre ranging from fighting, first person shooters and movie tie-in games, all catering to a wide audience. So, here’s a list of games you should check out in the month of April 2013.
Injustice: Gods Among Us
From the masterminds that brought us Mortal Kombat (NetherRealm Studios), we have another fighting game, christened Injustice: Gods Amongst Us. Instead of the mythical characters, here you can take on the role of characters from the DC Universe which includes the likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lanterns, Joker, Harley Quinn and many more.
From what we have seen of the game, the gameplay is very reminiscent of the recently launched Mortal Kombat game. The environments have destructible elements and each character has his/her own special abilities and moves. If you are one who loves fighting games such as Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, this is one definitely for you.
