Can’t get enough of the Deadpool movie?
Perhaps it’s time to dust off your copy of the 2013 PS4 Deadpool video game. Although the game originally met tepid reviews, after the success of this year’s Deadpool movie, gamers are revisiting the game and enjoying Deadpool for Deadpool instead of getting wrapped up in game mechanics.
