…which is oddly, ironically, like the Ao Jun character he and Domino encountered during the Grant Morrison run of New X-Men. Dead skin cells turned into shambling ‘golem’ replicas. Dialogue from the issue:

Domino: “Get this for official worst mutant gift ever: hair, skin flakes, dandruff – anything he sheds grows into a short-lived, briefly conscious, totally naked Ao Jun golem.”
Wolverine: “Some people get all the breaks.”

…aaaaand I think that’s me done revealing my Uber-Geek credentials. *shuffles off, stage left*

regenerating himself from a few cells left ? it was idiotic when dragon ball did it, and it still is, maybe with his upper torso left but a few cells … every time he cuts his hair or nails or goes to a spa you get a few dozen/hundred new wolvies running around …

Could this be GOTY 2009? I think so, just look at the pretty graphics. Looks nothing like other Unreal powered games.

“The comic is very good btw, get it post-haste”

Really? We must not be reading the same comics. Civil War – Wolverine regrows himself completely from just a few non-incinerated cells in just a few minutes which, I’m sure you’ll agree, pushes the idea of a mutant ‘healing factor’ into nigh-supernatural territory. Also, we learn that every time he dies he literally has to fight the spirit of death before he can return. Then he gets his ass handed to him by Wild Child, and learns he and Sabertooth are the embodiements of feral archetypes stretching back through to the dawn of man who – shock horror – have been at each other’s throats all that time. Oh, and Sabertooth eats the midriff of Feral (or Thorrn – can’t remember which), all because some Uber-bad dude has some all-encompassing power over feral types.

Sounds to me more like shark-jumping desperation from the writers there than anything I’d class as ‘good’.

Hmm, let’s see

Through-fence grab: QTE probably
Helicopter minigun dodging: QTE definately
Jump from truck to truck: QTE
RPG reflect (uh, lol?): prolly just a dodge
Collapsing rope-bridge-jump: QTE

So, in the latter half that shows at least some in-game footage, one sequence is actual game-play and the rest is bullshit quick-time crapola.

Much love for Weapon-X, much hate for console cockage.

Tey had me at grabbing an unaware soldier through a fence, they lost me at slapping an rpg back at a soldier. Hitting an rpg would detonate it!

Actually, hitting it on the detonator would detonate it (hence the name). Hitting it anywhere else wouldn’t do a thing.

Also, for what it counts, the game is made by Raven Software, and they have yet to release a really bad game. To my knowledge this is also their first movie adaptation though, so we’ll see.

Eh, I’m too worried about what the movie’s doing with Deadpool to care much about the game for now:

X-men the last stand was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad that my expectations for this movie are at a record low, i seriously doubt they could disappoint me, but then again, they did make Catwoman (and some others i rather forget)
