X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Game, Poster, The Movie and Trailer

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a 2009 action-adventure game loosely based on the film of the same name.

The game release coincided with the release of the film on May 1, 2009 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, Wii, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable.

The game was developed primarily by Raven Software, who used Unreal engine technology to develop the game. Amaze Entertainment developed the Wii/PS2 ports and Griptonite Games (PSP/DS) developed the PSP/DS ports. Origins was published by Activision.

The game allows players to take control of James “Logan” Howlett (codenamed Wolverine) and for the first time in a video game discover the character’s origins.

I, like many of you, greeted the initial news of yet another X-Men movie with groans of mildly exasperated rage. With all the overlooked Marvel properties out there (can we EVER get a Deadpool movie? Two Punishers and no Deadpool? Is there no justice?), you’d think they could stop flogging the X-Men dead horse for twenty minutes. But based on what I’ve seen so far, what looks like an X-Men prequel may actually turn out solidly well. Take a look at this new trailer.
