Top 5 Best Comic Book Based Video Games to Play on a First Date

One of the reasons so many singles look for a partner online is because they can connect with the most compatible people, in a short timescale. Say you happen to have particular passions in life, like comic books based video games. Forget hanging around comic conventions. Online dating technology has altered the dating landscape dramatically and nowadays your chances of meeting someone with similar tastes will be much higher if you browse through singles’ profiles in the digital environment instead of traditional offline settings. If you look for a girlfriend online and found someone compatible, you can break the ice by chatting about your favourite games. Here are five that are well worth talking about.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

This hugely entertaining video game is based on the popular movie that starred Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, a slacker who is faced with the tricky task of battling his current love interest Ramona Flower’s (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seven exes. Each of these has malicious intent towards the plucky hero. Although the game version can be tricky to master, this will bring you closer on your first date. Once you master the techniques, it will prove to be a fun and diverting activity, crammed with beat-em-up action that is every bit as captivating as the film.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

The second feature in the Lego Batman series is another video game adaptation perfect for your first date. The plotline is far more simplistic than the infinitely more refined DC feature films, involving Lego versions of Batman and Robin, aided and abetted by Superman, to foil The Joker’s dastardly plan to enroll Lex Luthor as the President. Available for iOS, Android, or MS Windows devices, the game unfolds with excellent graphics, allowing you to explore a vivid depiction of Gotham City as you join forces with the Justice League.

Batman: Arkham City

If you’re looking for more enthralling and ‘grown-up’ Batman gaming fun, this title would be ideal. In the main storyline of this videogame, the titular hero has been incarcerated in a maximum-security prison, Arkham City, located in the slum district of Gotham City. This is a hugely enjoyable outing, with superb graphics, and invigorating adventure sequences. It has won numerous plaudits from critics and fan groups alike, so if you are looking for a white-knuckle ride with your partner on your first date, attempting to assist the caped crusader break out of his hellish confinement would be highly recommended!

The Simpsons: The Arcade Game

Who doesn’t love the manic but hilarious activities of Springfield’s favorite yellow-hued family? Based on the original bear-em-up arcade game that was developed as long ago as 1991, this takes the tried-and-tested attributes of its massively popular predecessor and gives it a considerable reboot for its early 21st-century audience. You and your partner are already likely to know most of the characters inside-out, which guarantees hours of non-stop fun as you control their madcap antics on your date night.

Injustice 2

Ok, so we’re going back to Batman again, but if something manages to provide entertainment, thrills, humor, all served up with dark but engrossing undercurrents, then what’s not to like? The storyline here focuses on Batman and his insurgency, as they fight to restore order and decency in society in the wake of the collapse of Superman’s regime. The added frisson of excitement is the introduction of a new group of ominous supervillains, known as ‘The Society,’ with their alien collaborator, Brainiac. Date night becomes all about extracting Superman from his imprisonment to help combat the ominous threat imposed by The Society. The riveting storylines are what first date video nights were made for!
