"Here's part one of my "Gaming with Vin Diesel Weekend". This week's PlayStation Store update brought two game demos starring Vin Diesel: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and Tigon Studio's The Wheelman. This little preview is about the latter.
The Wheelman's premise was intriguing, promising to be action packed and empowering. Quality wise, I really had no idea what to expect from The Wheelman. The skeptic within me was doubting its technical merits, while the optimist was hoping it would look just as nice as the screenshot above."
MenStuff: "OK, it’s hard to actually recommend many celebrity-endorsed games. They don’t exactly live up to the triple-A standard as some of the big blockbuster movies the actors star in, but there are a few that made for a fun adventure and deserve a shout-out."

There are plenty of kids games on Xbox 360 where the challenge barely bothers to raise itself beyond pressing A to skip the tutorial text, as you dilly-dally through the game while achievements pop all around you."
Gamereactor sat down with Tigon Studios' head of game production Ian Stevens to talk about Riddick, the "burden" of Vin Diesel's image, and game development in general.
