What is a 'first-party' game?

In the gaming world, a 'first-party' game means it's made by a studio owned by the console manufacturer, like Sony's Insomniac Games. These titles are exclusive to that console, making them big selling points. Wolverine's score is notable because first-party games often set the bar high.
