Chris Buffa (Modojo): Marvel's The Avengers debuts on Blu-ray and DVD September 25, and to get fans pumped, the comic book juggernaut released an iPhone and iPad beat-em-up called Avengers Initiative, an episodic series that begins with the Incredible Hulk, and will later feature chapters starring Thor, Captain America and Iron Man. That said, the company took much of its inspiration from Chair Entertainment's Infinity Blade titles. In fact, Marvel Initiative plays almost exactly like those games, which is fine, because you'll love being able to pummel villains like Wendigo, Abomination and The Kronan with everyone's favorite green superhero. Hulk smash, indeed.
Movie tie-in games have been making the move to mobile... for better or worse.
