Chris Buffa (Modojo): Superhero games usually come up woefully short on consoles and more traditional handhelds, but this simply isn't the case with smartphones and tablets. Just look at Verticus, a collaboration between Moonshark and comic book icon Stan Lee, co-creator of Iron Man and The Avengers. Here's a brand-new intellectual property that nails the touchscreen experience. Not only that, but it also attempts something different in the overexposed endless running genre. In all, a fun game with a few issues.
Triverse writes, "Stan Lee, the man behind some of the biggest comic book successes in history, from The Fantastic Four to The X-Men, has moved over to iOS games. With Verticus, we get that trademark Stan Lee quality permeating from everything including storyline to graphics. This looks like a motion comic book. Stop before you turn to another website, the term “motion comic” is not in reference to those comic books with auto panning and such that apparently found a small bit of popularity years ago on DVD."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): A month ago, comic book legend Stan Lee jumped into the iOS gaming scene with Verticus, an endless faller that sends players through the Earth's depths to thwart aliens from destroying mankind. Originally, we felt that, while enjoyable, Verticus should've been released as a free download. Thankfully, publisher Moonshark agrees, and the game will be available for zero dollars beginning tomorrow, December 19.
