    Why fans are digging their claws into Wolverine over its patronising gameplay - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Marvel’s Wolverine, the latest action game from Sony’s stable of expensive blockbuster-factory studios, has had an unfortunate launch. Reviews were decent, if not stellar, but a series of viral video clips from reviewers and streamers have made it the scapegoat for a patronising flavour of game design that gamers have hated for decades. This clip, from Skill Up’s review, shows the player entering a beautiful wintry landscape before being overwhelmed by visual cues telling them what they’re suppo

It was a demonstration for a yet-to-be-launched service called Gaikai that promised to let you play any game in a browser window, without a console.
