The Wolverine Game Is @#$%ing Ridiculous
Apparently the X-Men Origins: Wolverine videogame was miffed that I cared less about its last trailer than Batman: Arkham Asylum, and decided to raise the stakes by submitting this absolutely batshit insane video of Wolvie leaping from helicopter to helicopter in mid-air and destroying everything he touches. Now, I’m sure the travel to between copters is mostly automatic, but still, this does not appear to be a quick time event. If I can actually rocket Wolverine through a helicopter interior and come out the other side with a few very unpleasantly surprised soldiers myself, then this is a game I definitely want to play.
