Activision details X-Men Origins: Wolverine: The Video Game based on the movie starring the Sexiest Man Alive ... THE. SEXIEST. MAN. ALIVE!

by James Ransom-Wiley { Dec 9th 2008 at 5:30PM }

People.com writes: "At 6 ft. 2 in., all scruff and biceps, Hugh Jackman looms large in the epic Australia, which he says kept him 'dirty 95 percent of the time' and left people stammering, 'Oh ... my ... God,' according to costar Nicole Kidman, who adds, 'Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room.'

"Jackman's wife of 12 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, calls his perfect form 'the Body of Doom -- but I like what's inside': a romantic who sings ballads at home and makes pancakes for Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3. A hard body with a soft center." 2008's Sexiest Man Alive will next star in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, coming May 2009.

Oh! And yeah, Activision is publishing the coinciding game.

Wait! We knew that ... hmmm ... what's new here? Ah yes! Here we are: "From the award-winning studio Raven Software, the video game enlists players to experience the tormented origins of Wolverine, from his escape of the Weapon X facility to the jungles of Africa and beyond ... the future X-Man enacts lightning-quick combat, evasive maneuvers, in-depth combo attacks, and an array of brutal finishing moves. Wolverine doesn't just deliver massive damage, either -- he also takes it." Hot damn! What we wouldn't give to ...

You mean the claws aren't real?

I just don't know what to think anymore.

Bagels PSN:WolfLogic @ Dec 9th 2008 8:54PM

Yea, upon further inspection the claws don't even look like they are protruding from his skeleton like they're supposed to.

i just want it to be an okay game at least.

Haggard @ Dec 9th 2008 5:48PM

Well, Raven are a pretty good studio.

Zertoss @ Dec 9th 2008 5:50PM

I thought Hugh Laurie was the sexiest man alive.

I don't know if his current claim to fame would be as much fun to play, though.

Snowblind @ Dec 9th 2008 8:06PM

Are you suggesting a Blackadder game?

aj @ Dec 10th 2008 8:00AM

Stephen Fry will always be the sexiest man alive in my book.

Velocifaptor @ Dec 9th 2008 5:50PM

"Wolverine doesn't just deliver massive damage, either -- he also takes it."

YES! I was thinking to my self that whole time, man all these offensive maneuvers seem boring, I wish the game would just let me get hurt real bad, then it would be fun.

Then BOOM, Activision hit it outta the park.
