Wolverine and Next-Gen Demos

With the release of a satisfying Wolverine demo, we have high hopes for the game. Responsive controls and a variety of combos and fun ways to slice and dice your opponent make X-Men Origins: Wolverine a great brawler to satisfy your needs while you wait for God of War 3. This, in addition to solid graphics and a variety of ways to customize the way Wolverine plays with Mutagen and Skill upgrades.

What we don't like are shoddy demos with no way to teach you how to play, multiplayer only options, and just bad decisions about presentation. A demo is an advertisement for a game, not a tech demo.
