Back in 2004, Activision released a game that completely changed my attitude toward movie tie-ins. It was the Treyarch-developed Spiderman 2: The Game, and although not perfect, it confidently defecated on every comic book/movie/pop-group based videoga...

Everyones favourite cigar-chomping, catch-phrase slinging, animalistic mutant makes his next-gen solo debut with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but when the shiny adamantium coating begins to tarnish, gamers are left with a simplistic hack-and-slash movie tie-in that cant quite match the titular antiheros badass attitude and image. Snikt! To tie in with Foxs latest action-packed extravaganza, X-Men Origins: Wolverine follows the story of Logan, the enigmatic mutant that everyone and their mother...

Let’s be honest, Wolverine has been in need of a decent game adaptation for years now. The last time we saw one was X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, and although it featured a pretty sweet “smell-o-vision” feature, it failed to hit the mark in most other areas...

Tyrone Williams8.4After reading mixed reviews of X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the theatres, I must admit that I was quite apprehensive regarding "another" movie game. Although Activision have had a string of movie based games over the years, some of th...

Every review of a movie tie in game starts by mentioning how movie tie in games are never any good and that you should lower your expectations before considering the title. I’m not going to do that for this review because Raven is the developer behind...

Releasing as a tie-in to the summer blockbuster of the same name, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is an above-average attempt at using a movie license to give fans an entertaining way to continue the Wolverine love long after the movie credits have finished r...
As far as movie games go, this is one of the best, even surpassing the film in some ways. Granted, for some players, the combat may get repetitive, and the story isnt going to change the way you look at video games. X-Men Origins: Wolverine doesnt c...
