Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 8 Essential Superhero Games You Must Play

Don't act like you're not going to want to play as The Avengers this week.

So the next Avengers movie is coming up fast - and considering how Marvel have actually been pretty good with not giving away too much in their trailers (Vision has only made an appearance as a set of eyes so far), in amongst its 160 minute runtime there are sure to be plenty more surprises tucked inside. However, with such a massive undertaking and so many landmark characters each with their own diehard fans left, right and centre - you'd really think there'd be some licensed games waiting in the wings to dominate the digital realm too. It used to be that every movie came with a tie-in, whereas these days you're more likely to get an 'Official App'. However, that doesn't mean there aren't a plethora of options from the medium's past worth digging out for the sake of embodying your favourite characters, especially since the super-powered summer is about to kick into overdrive. One of the most identifying and enjoyable things about gaming is the idea of escapism therein, and plenty of people will go to their respective collections after watching any given movie to enact a similar experience. Still, with The Avengers in town every Marvel-lover is going to want to get in the spirit of things, replicating the scenes in Age of Ultron and then some, and that's where these awesome titles come in.
