'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' Game Trailer Cooler Than the Movie One?

The ever cool Peter Hall sent me the latest video game trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I hate to admit it, but I think this is actually better than either movie trailer ... and I didn't even hate the trailers like a lot of people did; I just found them perplexing.
But this! I don't know about Hugh Jackman, but this is the solo Wolverine movie I wanted to see! (Well, minus that trick where he spins with his claws. This is a video game trailer, after all.) It's dark, it's gritty, and violent, with the level of carnage dished out in the best of Wolverine's solo stories. Best of all, it's centered on Wolverine, not dashing off to meet Cyclops or Emma Frost. This is the character you were supposed to meet in an origin story ... a guy who tries to reconcile his humanity with the animal beserker who's the best at what he does.
Watch it below and see if you agree. In a best case scenario, all of the coolest moments in this trailer will be in the movie (it's based on it, after all), but I'm doubtful, since there's not even a Ryan Reynolds to be seen.

THIS is better than the movie trailers? Not even close. Were you paid by the video company to write this article or are you just high?

You should also check out the Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer, though obviously it's not as interesting as TDK: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/44909.html
