NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 07/26/2013 struggled a lot with the 16-bit section of Wolverine’s gameography. After many valiant efforts, I failed miserably in trying to finish either of these terrible, terrible games from publisher LJN. As opposed to revealing in my failure, I decided it would be fun to pit Wolverine Adamantium Rage by…
NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 07/26/2013 Raven Software, the developers of the Uncaged Edition of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, had built up quite a large amount of cred with comic fans in their previous efforts.

NOTE: ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON COMICBOOKMOVIE.COM 07/25/2013 To but it bluntly, X-Men Origins: Wolverine on the PSP is not very good, but I do have to give credit to both developer Griptonite and publisher Activision.

Simply put, this game was quite a surprise…
