LMAO! I didn't even know. That boss felt horribly generic.

Aside from Reyes, everything in the game is based on the comics.

I knew about Bastion, but does he take on that appearance in the comics? I'm looking and haven't been able to find it.

GT didn't even give it a full review. They just put it in the review pod segment.

Shame, I love seeing bad games getting reviewed.

Is this gonna get a Zero Punctuation review? That would be fun.

I hope so, but he normally goes after games some people like.

A couple years ago, I sat in an office with Chris Archer, and he pitched me on the idea of this game. The way he described it, I was genuinely excited about the prospect. An X-men game where you are the mutant, and you make choices and grow your power set while fighting alongside other mutants in the X-Men universe. When I heard Silicon Knights was attached to it, I held out hope they still had some of that LoK: Blood Omen magic somewhere and this could be cool. Now, we get this...

Its pretty sad because it is a good idea!!

However this "light attack/heavy attack" wireframe for every single action game became nothing more than a joke.

Funny how the new Spider-man game is walking the same road. Its just "any action game", now featuring spider-man

Even the Genesis spider-man game was more creative than this. At least you needed to take pictures so you could get some money and produce your spider webs

Just finished this an hour ago. It was decent rental. Just a mind numbing button masher, but fun if your a fan of the fiction. I'll feel bad for anyone who pays full MSRP for this.

I rented this from Redbox and blew through it in a night. 2 bucks total. And thats probably the price point im comfortable at with it.

The exact definition of mindless.

With X-Men Destiny, we wanted to build a game that fans could really appreciate. This was a goal that we set out to achieve from day one, so there were no real pressures from a fan-service perspective.

In other words: This game is even too bad for having Dyack do the interviews himself.

I really hate PR talk...

If anyone's curious how atrocious the Wii version is, I decided to use it to test my capture device out and played through the whole thing in just under three hours (my first, and only, time through).

Here's a playlist containing all the videos

The first video has some super fucked up audio because I decided to use on-the-fly compression. It should tell you something that I would rather put that up there than redo it. The rest of the videos suffer from no problems - on my end, at least.
