X-Men Origins: Wolverine

By Martin on May 1, 2009

I don’t know how it happened: perhaps somebody smudged some ink somewhere, or lazily misread a memo. Maybe somebody crossed the streams. But, regardless of how, Raven’s accompanying videogame to Hugh Jackman’s latest cineplex adventure, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, was designed around an 18 rating. Gratuitous, uncensored and rampant violence oozes from every grizzled, vicious pore. Heads get lopped off, people get skewed on poles, and faces get blasted wide open with shotguns. Facing an elite military unit with a genetically engineered arm, Wolverine rips it off and hits him with it until his head caves in. And there’s blood. So much blood. That’s the game. The movie’s a 12A.
