Recently my roomate got the new X-men Origins: Wolverine video game for Xbox. It is supposedly based on the movie, so I assumed it would be an ultra time wasting crap-fest. But to my surprise I was totally WRONG! In fact I would say if anyone wanted to know just how bad ass Hugh Jackman could have been as Wolverine they need to check out this game. The opening of this game is true Wolverine. The way he should have been done in the movie(s). It’s voiced by Jackman as well and believe me this game is bloody and brutal. The way Wolvie really is. When Wolverine uses his claws people bleed. Alot. I have a feeling this game was made because people knew just how truely shitty the movie was going to be. If you thought the Wolerine movie was good you need to see this cuz by the time it’s over you’ll remember what Wolverine is supposed to be like. So if you have not played this game yet, at the very least check out the opening sequence now-it makes me realize just how god damn cool the movie coulda’ shoulda’ been…

So my last blog post mentioned two other cartoon series that the Thundercats creators also put out in the 80′s-The Silverhawks & The Tigersharks (are you noticing a trend in the naming of the cartoons yet). So Silverhawks was the space version of Thundercats and the even lesser known Tigersharks was the water version! Neither of them had the success of the Thundercats but they were both equally awesome. The animation was once again top notch and the characters were just as cool(well mostly). I love the hillbilly Siverhawk “Bluegrass” too-he’s play guitar and is just plain rad. The Silverhawks also had a cool toy line and the first season is available on dvd!!
The Tigersharks only lasted one season but you know what? I always thought it was still pretty damn rad! The show took place on the world of Water-O, which was covered completely by water(who would have figured huh?). The planet had a race of fish people called the Waterians(water, water, more water!!) . The TigerSharks arrived there on a research mission but ended up serving as the protectors of the planet against the bastardly T-Ray! They need to release that on dvd soon too- check these intros out from the show!
The Silverhawks!!
