Captain America: The First Avenger (Movie) Review

If you read my Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty for iOS review, you already know that I wasn't impressed with this movie. Now first off, I will say I wasn't impressed with the movie because Captain America just bores me. The action is ok and the acting is decent. Hugo Weaving was great as Red Skull and looked really cool, thanks to make up and special effects and what not.
I did really like how the world looked in the 40's and how Tony Stark's father played a bit in this. That I thought was really cool. The guy they got to play Stark's dad did look a bit like Robert Downey Jr a bit, which is cool. But in the end, I dozed in and out of this movie. The main highlight of the movie for me was when Captain America woke up in modern times and is approached by Nick Fury. That was the movie for me. Everything else was ok but just so boring. That being said, I can only recommend Captain America: The First Avenger if you wanna know the origins about the Captain or if you're hyping up for the Avengers next year.

My First Hour with Grand Theft Auto 3 for iOS

I never was too close to GTA 3 when I was younger. I did play it but I didn't fully enjoy it because I was screwing around in Vice City. But I do love the GTA series and for the one game that really helped bring up the open world game genre to iOS, I really had to check it out. I downloaded it when I was in class and I only got to play about the first 15 - 20 minutes of the game. Now because I never played GTA 3's story before, the cut scenes and what happens were new to me. The graphics look like a bit nicer then they do on the PlayStation 2 and for a PlayStation 2 game to be running on a device smaller than a PSP, I was extremely impressed. The one thing I was a little worried about was how would the controls be, but the controls are easy to get used to. There is an analog stick on one side of the screen to move Claude and the other half the screen has the jump button, run button, punch and when you're near a car a door icon will appear and you can steal a car. To switch weapons or change the radio station, you gotta swipe across the screen, which took a bit of getting used to but it's all good.
When I got home is when I really got into the game and I'm really digging it.
Now if Rockstar games can release Grand Theft Auto: Vice City next year for iOS, I'll be one happy camper.

Stay tuned here for a full review of Grand Theft Auto 3 for iOS soon.

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty (iOS) Review

How is the First Avenger on iOS? Well...it's good, it's fun, it's just I wasn't really entertained by it.
Like the movie, I wasn't entertained by Captain America. The game plays out like Mirror's Edge for iOS. 2D side scroller, you run across levels, slide your finger across to beat up bad guys, get combos, so on and so on. It is fun but ONLY if you loved the movie, now I didn't really enjoy the movie, I thought it was ok and that's why I didn't really enjoy myself here. The story is told throughout comic book style cut scenes. Also there is really bad and repetitive audio from the Captain and after the 3rd level, I gave up on the game, it got really boring. The music wasn't great either. I didn't fully hate the game because it is a good game, graphics are decent and the cut scenes are cool that it's told through this comic book style story. Oh and it loosely follows the movie. So again, I only recommend this IF you loved the Captain America movie or if you liked the gameplay style of Mirror's Edge for iOS. If you are like me and you thought the movie was ok then stay the hell away from this game!

Thor: Son of Asgard (iOS) Review

A game that looks this good IS that bad. 


Thor was a damn great movie. It is my favourite out of all these solo-Avenger flicks. 
Thor plays like most 3D Hero adventure games I've played on iOS, on one side of the screen is the analog to move the character and on the other side you get 3 buttons, one to attack, one to block and one for magic attacks. I didn't enjoy Thor because I don't know much about the character so I got confused and lost very easily with this story, which I don't even know what the hell is going on, I gave up on the story here. You do hear Thor speak but only during gameplay and it's little quick sayings and it sounds so bad that I laughed at it half the time. Another thing I hated about Thor is that it was EXTREMELY repetitive and I found myself replaying the same level over and over AND OVER again just trying to beat this one part. 
This one is a bad buy. Do not download it. If you know the characters and the Thor universe, you might like the story but still do not get it, it is a bad buy in the end.

Thor (Movie) Review

Hot damn is this movie good! 

This is my favourite of the solo-Avenger flicks. The story is the origins of Thor and it does a damn good job at telling you about the character. One of my favourite things about the movie was the acting. The acting in the movie was spectacular! Chris Hemsworth does a damn good job at playing the Godly hero and he does it with humour and how he interacts with our world ... like when he likes a drink. ANOTHER! 

Anthony Hopkins also does a great job and Tom Hiddleston was great for the bad guy but the reason he is the bad guy is a reason we've seen in a few movies before already. 

The movie is really humourous and one thing I really loved about the movie is all the things in Asgard is extremely visually pleasing. It all looks very beautiful and incredible to just look around the screen and take it all in. 

This is the best one of the bunch and I think just on it's own, it's a great movie! You should watch this one no matter what!

Iron Man 2 (iOS) Review

For 5 bucks you can feel like Iron Man, but it's mainly worth it for the flying. The game does look pretty good, like it looks like a playstation 1 game and that's always a good thing with me. The audio is great because Robert Downey Jr comes in to do voice work for Tony Stark, the new guy that plays Rhodes comes in, and it's good that the game has the cast of the movie. It's better then having a badly voiced Tony Stark. It loosely follows the movie, I don't know if you fight Whiplash, I haven't gotten there yet though because the game keeps kicking my ass with its repetitive enemies and sometimes unresponsive controls, like I would like to turn but for some reason he's shooting a laser from his chest. Just why? I want to TURN! NOT SHOOT! 
If Gameloft worked on the controls, I can recommend this a lot easier BUT if you do wanna play Iron Man 2, just wait til it's on sale. It's Christmas, it's probably on sale now or should be soon.

Iron Man 2 (Movie) Review

That's a little bit more like it! Iron Man 2 delivered a hell of a lot of great action, humour & War Machine! This really felt like it was picking up the Avengers a lot mainly because Samuel L Jackson (Playing as Samuel L Jackson with an eye patch) had more to do with Nick Fury and SHIELD and once again, I loved Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, he really turned himself into the role, much like Tobey MacGuire did with Spider-Man. When I see Tobey MacGuire I see Spider-Man, when I see Robert Downey Jr, I see both Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes. He really does a great job on both his franchises. And Iron Man 2, it is a lot better then the first and I loved how this was more Avenger-ish, getting that movie ready. It's a nerd-treat is what this movie is and I think you should defiently watch this! Great action / comic book movie!
