In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon sits down with his brother Mark to discuss the PS3 version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In an unusual twist, the “Uncaged Edition” for Playstation 3/Xbox 360/PC cranks up the gore and brutality from the film, which earned the game a Mature rating. The game follows the events of the film, but works in its own subplot that features a couple extra characters from the comics. Hailed by critics and fans alike as the definitive Wolverine video game experience upon its release, X-Men Origins Wolverine manages to channel the gruff but gallant nature of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine from the films while delivering a bloody, pre-PS4 God of War-style experience.
