X-Men Legends

This game is hella-fun, even if you're not an X-Men fan! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys action/RPGish games. I start off as Wolverine, then you move through the storyline, unlocking new Xmen and abilities. I popped it in and played it for a few hours, and was thoroughly impressed. The cell-shaded animations look cool, and give it a real comicky feel to it. The mutant abilities are awesome, and varied, and speaking of varied, you can choose between 15 (!) different Xmen when they all become available!

It is at it's core a hack & slash title that gives you good challenge and variety. The environments are huge, and fully destructible. If you feel like smashing a large computer console, or throwing a snowmobile at Storm - Have at it! The game lets you progress at your own pace, and whats also cool is the "Danger Room" a training room built by Prof X for the experience and training of his xmen - so that if you are having a tough time with an area, you can level up for a while in the D Room.

Check this one out!
