Gamma Testing

Did you like the most recent X-Men movie? Neither did we. But never fear, the video game based on that horrendous cinematic debacle is considerably better. Mostly, thanks to the lunge tactic.

Sadly, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is saddled with the movie's fundamentally flawed plot -- and a few stupid boss fights -- but it's easy to forgive the cut scenes after a few minutes of repeatedly shivving dudes with your adamantium-sheathed bone claws. And don't forget this month's theme: Wolverine apparently hates helicopters almost as much as 50 Cent, and a little more than ninjas.

And somehow, we three former (or current, in Matt's case) comic industry professionals manage to keep the geek quotient to a minimum. Well, when it comes to comics, at least.

Matt's music suggestion: Choppin' Nigga's Up, The X-ecutioners

Rick's reading suggestion: Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men, issues 114-154

Brian's food and drink suggestion: Molson Canadian Lager, human flesh (but only on Canadian soil, you'll have to listen for the reference)
