Maybe the Army of Darkness iPhone Game Will be Awesome
…and maybe I’m a Chinese jet pilot.
Seriously, if you told me yesterday that an Army of Darkness game where I could play as Ash and fight Deadites, flying Necronomicons and a pile of mini-Ashes could look this boring, I wouldn’t have believed you. Now I do. Unfortunately, the game apparently comes out on May 12th, so what we’re seeing is very likely what we’re gonna get. Seriously, how is it that we’ve never, ever had an Evil Dead/Army of Darkness game that’s been better than mediocre? Is it the curse of the Necronomicon? Is Bruce Campbell’s chin involved in some way? I bet it is.
