Review: X-Men Origins Wolverine (Xbox 360, PS3)
Coming into “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” I wasn’t expecting much more than an achievement run. The nicest thing I had heard about the game was that it wasn’t “as terrible as you would think”. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. I probably would have skipped this game entirely except young Masterlookas had decided to declare Gamerscore War. I needed whatever points I could get and I was not above playing a little movie game for a quick 500 points.
I popped the game into my console with a hint of trepidation. I always feel a little guilty when I play a game just so I can get the points, but this was war! The game starts off with Wolverine skydiving through the air without a parachute and just before he slams into the ground the camera panned around as the action slows way down so you can watch some hapless soldier get obliterated in a shower of blood. The title popped up with a flourish and I grinned maniacally. Maybe there was something to this after all.
