It's that day that everyone either seems to love or hate -- April 1. It seems the internet contributes to the day of foolery more and more every year. Here are some of the best Nintendo-related jokes we found today.
Thirteen1 caught Tweets now deleted, of course from the Frostbite Twitter account exclaiming that Half Life 3 and Frostbite games were coming to the Wii U.
GameSpot's open beta reviews evaluate unfinished games that are nonetheless available to the public. While the games in question are not considered finished by their creators, you may still devote time and Internet bandwidth for the privilege of playing them before they are complete. The review below critiques a work in progress, and represents a snapshot of the game at the time of the review's publication.
Infinite Crisis is yet another game spawned to compete with the titans of the multiplayer online battle arena genre. In this particular thematic iteration, you take command of various iconic DC universe comic book heroes, including favorites from the Justice League, as well as some alternate-universe incarnations such as Nightmare Batman, Gaslight Joker, or Atomic Wonder Woman.
As Superman, you can swoop in like a speeding bullet to save a teammate and fight foes with your super strength. The Flash battles with quickness, gaining additional damage based on how fast he's going. The Joker brings his full bag of tricks to the battlefield, battling with an array of sinister toys befitting his not-all-there demeanor. The twist to Infinite Crisis' pool of champions comes from the overlapping alternate universes offering different takes on the same familiar characters. Gaslight Joker brings no tricks and few treats as his filth-themed kit covers an archetypal tank, winning battles by throwing around his extra weight. The vampiric Nightmare Batman forgoes the bruiser nature of standard Batman in exchange for the ability to lock down and assassinate a single target, or multiple targets if left unchecked.
Sorely missing from the game at present is a surrender function; although Gotham Heights matches are often no more than 20 minutes, Gotham Divided matches can drag on, leading to the frustration of playing in a lost match.
Overall, Infinite Crisis is shaping up to be a solid MOBA. It hasn't quite reached its potential, but it's only just begun its open beta and has plenty of time to improve before release. There are some flashes of brilliance in its design, but also keyboard-smashing frustrations that can only be hammered out by solid feedback moving forward in the beta phase.
What's There?
An online battle arena featuring 27 heroes to choose from and three gameplay modes.
What's to Come?
More champions and matchmaking for the Coast City Marina map are on the way.
What Does it Cost?
Infinite Crisis is free to play, with the ability to purchase heroes and additional costumes for them.
When Will it be Finished?
Infinite Crisis does not yet have a set release date.
What's the Verdict?
The core gameplay is good, but a few frustrating elements and poor balance can disrupt your good time. However, with WB promoting the game alongside its other DC Universe games, you may be able to snag exclusive skins if you join early; keep your eyes peeled for that opportune moment.
