Licensed games may not always leave a good taste in gamers'
mouths, but you can bet that most action blockbusters'll have games made that are based on them. Next May's
X-Men
3 is no exception.
The most recent issue of Game Informer has spilled the beans on the latest interactive incarnation of the
Marvel mutant franchise, which "will feature Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Iceman as playable characters." Veteran
X-Men scribe Chris Claremont co-wrote the game's script, which will explore "lots of additional stuff" not
found in the movie. We don't know where the various handheld gaming systems fall into the current-gen list, but
versions for "the PC and the Xbox 360 which will get some graphical upgrades including improved character
models."
As Alan Cumming was not
signed on to reprise his role as Nightcrawler from X2 in next year's sequel, we wonder whether the developers at
Z-Axis will adopt a sound-alike to assume the character's voiceovers in the latest game adaptation, or if they'll grab
whoever voiced our favorite Bamf-er in the X-Men
Legends series of the last few years. Whoever carries on the disappearing (and reappearing) mantle, solid voice
acting's always a good thing to have. We fully expect Sideshow Bob to do his part elocuting admirably as always.

fyi, i've seen a build of the DS version of X3. this build features Wolvie, Iceman and Magneto. this is very from from even alpha staging, but these three are playable in this current build.
in a perivous build, there were options to play as Beast, Jean Grey, and Dark Phoenix. so, who knows what the end game will be.
