Hello to everyone who still bothers to read my incredibly infrequent and choppy blogs, lol. I just wanted to make a quick update about my most anticipated game of 2013, which is the new fighting game from NetherRealm Studios titled Injustice: Gods Among Us. I've mentioned the game with detail in a couple past blogs so I won't spend much time covering old ground, and instead I'll just delve into the newest information we've received recently. The game is shaping up to be an awesome experience for any fans of either fighting games in general or DC Comics characters. Enjoy.

DLC SEASON PASS ANNOUNCED
It was revealed a short while ago that a season pass will be available for the game on the release date (April 16). This pass will be $14.99 and include 4 DLC characters for the price of 3, as well as bonus Flashpoint costumes for Aquaman, Deathstroke, and Wonder Woman. Based on the full-body versions of the shadowy character renders that were shown, there is a very good chance that Martian Manhunter will be the first DLC character revealed.

DEMO RELEASE DATE AND OTHER RANDOM NEWS
It was revealed today by Ed Boon from NRS on his Twitter account that there will be a demo released on April 2nd. It will include Batman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor playable in the Gotham City arena. S.T.A.R. Labs challenge missions were also recently shown in several videos, and it was confirmed that there will be 240 missions in total (10 per character). Some will be mini-games and others will be fights with unique twists, such as a battle where Two-Face stands in the background and flips his coin to decide who he will randomly shoot, or a battle between Raven and her father, Trigon, who is not a fighter in any other mode of the game. Each event will have 3 optional objectives to complete, such as taking no damage in a fight or winning without blocking. Earning stars for completing these objectives and the events themselves will earn XP and other rewards like alternate costumes.
Currently, the full selection of pre-order bonus offers are these:
Gamestop - Red Son Pack including 20 extra S.T.A.R. Labs missions and 3 bonus costumes
Walmart - Arkham City Pack including 3 bonus costumes, and a free copy of MK vs DC Universe
Best Buy/Amazon EU - Blackest Night Pack including 1 bonus costume and a bonus Zombies Mode
Amazon - $10 promotional credit and a free digital comic for Kindle

That does it for now. I've still been rather busy with college and my activity here has been low, as usual. But I refuse to leave this site entirely because I've spent too mcuh time in my life here to give up now, lol...eventually I might even rank up to level 64 after being on 63 now for like over a year. I've been playing Tomb Raider and it's a fun game, though it can't match the Uncharted series in my mind. I would estimate that I'm probably a little less than halfway through the story, so I can't judge it with all fairness yet, and I haven't touched the multiplayer portion of the game (don't plan to until I beat the campaign). I also haven't yet played my free copy of Quantum Conundrum, but I will eventually.
Thanks for reading, please comment, and God bless.
