    This year sees the 75th birthday of DC Comics and in that time they have certainly helped to shape the comic book industry. The company are responsible for the likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to name just a few. Many of these characters have been made famous, not only in the world of comics, but also on the big screen where nowadays it seems films based on the likes of them are produced on a monthly basis.

    Watchmen: The End is Nigh deserves to be called a great downloadable game. However, I can't give it that nod for one main reason: the price tag. Twenty bucks for a game that is no more than three hours long, with simplistic control schemes, and a less than meaningful story is not a smart choice. It functions as fan service more than anything else. If there was more meat to this game, the price could be rationalized. Read more

    Watchmen, whilst being the most graphic game of the year so far, is also the most frustrating. Not in the sense of actually playing it, but in the sense that this could have been such a great game. Its lack of storyline, depth and structure really let the title down. The idea behind it is great, the combat system works, graphics are top of the range and it has a tasty licence that had the opportunity to be a real success. Read more

    Though you can have some split-screen fun with a friend, it's baffling that there is no online cooperative mode. That would have made the $20 price tag a little easier to swallow, but as it stands the price feels a bit greedy. Those inclined to tire of repetitive gameplay will find the price of entry too high, but there is some value here. The impressively animated combat is fun and brutal, and the sumptuous environments provide the perfect pugilistic playground. Read more

    • Enjoyable array of different attacks, Lively animations pack a punch, Impressively detailed environments, Dramatic lighting.
    • No online co-op, High price point, Can get repetitive.
