EGM Uncovers Wolverine's Origin In January IssueYesterday

You know who loves getting the new issue of EGM in the mail even more than you? The people who make it -- us! Every month about a week before subscribers get it, a box of fancy new EGMs arrives in Greg Ford's office. Nearby folk grab a copy, and folk next to them take notice, and it spreads like wildfire. All work grinds to a halt while everyone relishes that fancy new magazine smell and finally seeing the fruits of their labor in print.

So what can you expect this month? For starters, a first look and sexy screens of the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, hitting in May alongside the similarly titled flick. Check out the first screen and an early look at the cover story by clicking here.

After you've drank your fill of sweaty man-beast action (and read our follow-up feature on the other big superhero games of next year), check out the Biggest Little Games of 2009, a good hard look at some of the games that might not be triple-A in hype but could certainly wind up triple-A in quality, including

Ninja Gaiden meets Hugh Jackman? It's not out of the realm of possibility. In our January issue of EGM, we tell you all about real-time in-game healing, the simple satisfactions of an elegantly accessible combat system, a sweet boss fight against the very first Sentinel robot prototype, and lots more. We also chat with Raven about a few of Origins' influences, from God of War to Super Smash Bros., a new approach to seamless cinematic in-game cut-scenes that bridge bits of ga

Activision Shows New Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and More at In-game Advertising EventYesterday

In-game advertisements are an inescapable reality in today's videogames, and publishers are frequently required to showcase their lineup to advertising firms far in advance to secure these promotions. Activision did just that at yesterday's upfront with Massive Inc., which resulted in the two companies inking a deal for dynamic ad placement in 18 of the publisher's upcoming PC and Xbox 360 titles.

What's so exciting about a bunch of ads? When the games being shown to advertisers have yet to be announced, it's sort of a big deal. Several outlets -- including MTV Multiplayer and Newsweek's N'Gai Croal -- are reporting all kinds of reveals from yesterday's event, from a controller-free Tony Hawk sequel to a James Bond racing game made by Bizarre Creations.
