Sara over at Comic Vine tipped me off to this new trailer for the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine game over at Marvel.com. Although I'm normally skeptical of anything movie related in gaming this one is looking pretty sweet. I also like when one of the developers blatantly calls out "Finally a movie game that does not suck".  WIth the game coming from Raven Software -- makers of the excellent Marvel Utimate Alliance -- my bet is there's a better chance than not this one will meet that promise. Does anyone else see heavy God of War inspiration in this one?

Looks like God of War, but with some slick differentiating mechanics.  I'm always a fan of licensed stuff, and this one looks decent.

Again with the developers telling me how good their game is. Dumb. Looks alright though.

The Voice acting at the end sounded questionable, but I love the work they do at Raven, so I'm looking forward to it

This looks retarded, didnt even get Jackman for the voice?  All those spinning attacks?  No, this game looks like it will be another crappy video game tie in.  Sorry guys but you are thinking about looks cool instead of what plays cool.  The standard for movie games has been set too high by GoldenEye007.

I'm not an X-men fan by any means, but the trailer sent shivers down my spine. I'm probably not going to see the movie, but I'll definitely game-fly in the video game.

"finally a a movie game that doesn't suck"
come on there have been several gems. they're are just playing to the crowed. they think if they say things like that that gamers like us will believe they are on our side and buy into that bullshit, when all we have to do is see what the game is like and no it sucks. 

ps, the movie kinda sucks. i saw it, and yeah its cheesy. 

xmen 1 and especially 2 were really good, but dude 3 was aweful and this new one is only marginally better than 3

Gameplay looks awesome, but the voice of Wolverine... kinda... distractingly bad.

The trailer for the movie was on this morning, and it looked pretty badass.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Escape From Butcher Bay are two movie games that kicked plenty of ass
