Best Wolverine Video Game Ever - Logan like he was meant to be

Brian of Euphonic Dissonance babbles on about his favorite comic book hero - Wolverine.



X-Men Origins: Wolverine is hands down the best Wolverine video game to hit the market EVER. Why? Because it's so frikkin' bloody and violent that's why. That's the reason Wolverine fans are Wolverine fans. We get a giggle seeing people sliced open with razor sharp pointy things. There is no lack of blood in this game. If you're squeamish don't watch the following video!!!!! If you want to see Wolverine plunge his claws through a wall and clean into a guys head then watch the video cause you're in for a treat.

{If your computer is SUPER FAST you should raise the resolution from 360p to 720p. It looks so much better that way}



I wish the matching movie would have been that friggin' cool. Well, like the Rolling Stones said, "you can't always get what you want." Is Rob Zombie available to do a Wolverine movie? Then I might get my desired effect.

Now....yeah.....that was just a cut scene but there is no limit to the blood spilled via the SNIKTY SNIKT of claws in the game play. There is a move in the game called a quick kill that allows you to do terrible things to your enemies in the style of Wolverine in the comic. For instance ..... you can raise a guy over your head with one hand and gut him with your claws on the other hand ....... repeatedly. Here's a nice little video showing the Wolvie mayhem in action.



Now ..... if those videos don't convince you that this video game is worth picking up then I suppose you are one of those Wolverine fans that reads the comics for the love stories. Well, then this isn't really the game for you ... sorry. Everyone else needs to pick this one up. Make sure you get the UNCAGED edition because the other ones aren't nearly as violent. Just finished playing through it again and I just wish there were more characters to gut. Can we say expansion pack? Maybe when the next movie comes I'll get that wish. That would be magical.

Hopefully in the next post we'll have more music for you but until then here's a link that will take you to our iTunes page. Click it .... it's pretty.

X-men Origins Wolverine - Stupid Frikkin' Silly Bone Claws

I have a confession to make. I'm a huge fan of the X-Men character Wolverine. I have been collecting comics about him since childhood and that is primarily the only comic book I will read. I'm kinda a Wolverine snob in comic book reading circles. I'm the guy who pisses off all the other comic reading dorks because I think that Wolverine can kill all their favorite sissy ass characters in a fight to the death.

Ah, nerds rule the world!!!

It's true. Nerds now rule the world. Look at all the comic book based movies that are out. All the video game based movies. Are there any movies that aren't nerd based? Frikkin' Michael Bay is doing Transformer movies for god's sake. What kind of topsy turvy world is this that I'm living in?

I digress.

Bone claws!!!! They went and gave Wolverine bone-frikkin'-claws in the movie!!!

I hate BONE CLAWS!!! What kind of smeckpepper sauce were the producers of this movie on when they decided to give my favorite frikkin' character in the world of comics bone claws????!!!!! I've been reading Wolverine comics since the 1970's and this bone claw thing is a recent invention of the early 90's. It was jammed into the story to fill a hole. Before that readers were led to believe that Wolverine didn't have the claws until the Weapon X project (the part in the movie where they put all that cool metal onto his skeleton). We were led to believe that tube like structures were surgically installed into his forearm to house the blades. Here's some graphical representations to help you understand what the hell I'm babbling on about.

I rest my case. The bone claw thing is silly and pisses me off. When Marvel ran that story in the comic I wanted to go burn their building to the ground (it's okay Marvel...I've gotten better since then....I would never hurt Stan Lee....and you probably have more than one building).

Beyond that I've got other gripes but I'll leave them dormant for now.

The fight scenes were phenomenal. I could watch those over and over and over. The interaction between Victor Creed (Sabertooth) and Wolvy was off the charts. Hell, I even liked Gambit in this movie and I've never liked Gambit in the comics or animated cartoons. I'm glad the included the scene with Wolvy as a child. Kids around the world are pretending they are Wolverine right now.....Going through the silverware and making mommies good knives into Wolverine claws. Snikt!

Sarah is not a reader of the comic and she said the movie seemed to leave parts of the story out. I tend to agree with her. So many mixed emotions about this movie. It's so confusing. I need a drink.

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see a Wolverine movie made in my lifetime - but if I made it - well.....it would be better. NO - it would be perfect.
