I’m pretty sure there’s a whole academic paper waiting to be written about Zynga’s transition from Words with Friends to the just-released GIF’s Against Friends (Free), both in terms of the transition to primarily-visual mediums and in terms of the antagonism so prevalent on the internet today. And even though I should be more of the words and text generation, I do enjoy the hilarity of GIFs, and that’s why I think GIFs Against Friends will find an audience quite easily. This iMessage app has you inviting friends from your phone’s contacts, sending them all a pretty silly prompt, and then judging the GIFs they submit anonymously.
As you would expect, the prompts can get very silly, which is what makes this game entertaining. Think of it in a way as Cards Against Humanity with GIFs. Since the game makes use of the latest iMessage features, you’ll need iOS 10 to play it.
Solid review. I'm completely new to the Marvel universe and I'll admit the humor was a pleasant surprise...the elevator scene cracked me up. The fight scenes do seem sort of superfluous...it almost seems, from an observer's point of view, that you can't lose them...they're just sort of window dressing. Slow window dressing, at that. Still, fun to watch and listen to!
Do the game have controller support?
I just feel like the episodes are way too short for $5 a pop. I may re-visit this when all episodes are available and maybe they have a sale of some sort.
I like stopping to create emotional depth, especially with Rocket. I remember the comic book series back in the day and the movies have made him even more a favorite.
