Preview from Shacknews:
Activision has held the X-Men video game license for years now, publishing some unexpected gems such as Raven's two X-Men Legends games along with some rather less memorable fare. After so many prior titles, it seems slightly odd that the latest X-Men licensing effort, a tie in with the upcoming film X-Men: The Last Stand, has been granted the singular moniker X-Men: The Official Game. Could Activision and developer Z-Axis be sending a message to gamers, suggesting that this is the definitive X-Men experience, the stick by which other X-Men games (video, board, or otherwise) will be measured? Is there perhaps some kind of seedy unauthorized X-Men game production black market, and Activision is sending a stern reminder to these renegade developers that only this is the true official game? Were the marketers just out of ideas?
