Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Coinciding with the films release in 2009, Activision has announced X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the Xbox 360. Developed by Raven Software (Quake 4, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance), X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be an action-adventure game where players take on Wolverine as he escapes from the Weapon X facility to the jungles of Africa and beyond. Rob Kostich, VP & global brand manager at Activision, believes the team at Raven Software will be able to meet the expectations of fans:

We have an amazing team with Raven Studios at the helm, creating what will undoubtedly be the quintessential, true-to-character Wolverine video game experience that fans have been craving...

Easier said than done, especially considering the track record of many movie to game conversions. But Raven's last few outtings haven't been too shabby (also co-developing Wolfenstein), so there could be something in this. Expect X-Men Origins: Wolverine out in May 2009.
