Definately not another "Movie Game"! ( X360 )
Let me firstly just say that this is probably one of the best "movie released games" ever, even grinding through the various achievments is entertaining to a degree. [[Also this will be a relatively quick review]]Story/Gameplay: Is quite long, way more in depth than even the movie and in fact ...

Clawing dudes is fun, bub. ( PC )
You know what gameplay mechanic I hate? Quck time events (QTE). The ones where they flash a series of buttons on the screen and you have less than a second to press each one, or you have to mash one button inhumanly fast. I've been playing video games for 15 ...

Fast-paced and thrilling, but not quite worth the price tag. ( X360 )
This time of year, it's not at all uncommon for a wide array of movie tie-ins to begin cluttering the new release shelf at whatever venue it is from which you purchase games.   Much like backpacks, lunchboxes and action figures, these titles are acutely time sensitive.   As such, ...

Summer blockbuster fun ( X360 )
X-Men Origins: Wolverine is by no means a perfect game. It has a large handful of problems, ones that range from small to medium in size. At times they make the game totally frustrating or even unplayable, and almost cause an otherwise good game to be generally unenjoyable. But the ...

You wanted the animal?! You got him! ( X360 )
It shouldn't be difficult to make a game about Wolverine.  The guy murders other guys with six razor sharp adamantium claws on his hands, has a healing factor that makes him one tough sum-bitch, and has a sordid and violent past involving paramilitary organizations, ninjas, and robots.  How it's taken this ...

The popcorn game... ( X360 )
  I've always had a love for popcorn movies, those being movies that you go to in order to have a good time, laugh with friends, perhaps marvel at some over-the-top action or insane explosions, and then go on with your life. I am an equal opportunity cinema lover, and ...

With summer comes the hot weather; a time for holidays with family and friends, playing sports down at the local park and relaxing with an ice cold drink by your side. Ironically enough, it’s also the time when most of us travel down to the hot, sweaty confines of the ...

X-Men Origins: Wolverine isn't the best, but far from the worst. ( X360 )
    Wolverine Finally gets the video game treatment he's so desperately deserved after travesties such as "X2: Wolverine's Revenge". Originally, this game was not being developed as a tie-in move adaptation, but rather a stand alone game, until the developer's were asked if they would wait to release the game ...

Say "Hello" to the real Wolverine. ( X360 )
  Yeah, that's gotta hurt... As developers continuously work on ways to advance games and the different ways to play them, the Beat-em-up genre is one that is surely dieing out. Western Beat-em-ups are practically unheard of nowadays with only a few frenzied Japanese style based Beat-em-ups surviving the genre, ...
