8 Video Game Tie-Ins BETTER Than The Original
7. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
X-Men Origins: Wolverine may be one of the greatest con jobs ever put to film, as I know full well that we were all tricked into thinking that a decent film was about to unfold after that memorable and brilliantly shot opening sequence with Jacked-man and Sillytooth.
Yet as we all know, the events that followed were about as painful as having Adamantium grafted to your skeleton and then having Magneto rip it right back out again, as we not only watched fan favorites get brutalized by terrible acting, writing, and directing, but we also got to see our only appearance of Gambit so far which sucks more than being put on "back hair" shaving duty for Beast four weeks on the trot.
Therefore expectations for the tie-in video game were incredibly low, which made it all the more surprising that this wasn't just a decently made action game, but a bloody violent one as well! Featuring a mechanic in which Wolverine could be nearly torn to shreds and then regenerate from sickening-looking wounds, and horrible decapitations, and limb shredding. we got to see something that Marvel itself wasn't touching in the on-screen medium at the time.
Pure Canuckle'head violence.
Sure the game itself was about as deep as a puddle of blood, but when you're spilling this much of it you could likely drown someone. Plus it was the perfect way to unleash all your frustration that had been built up by this absolute stinker of a movie.
