Midway has been one of the most interesting companies across the gaming spectrum. While their games have never been great, they were usually fun. The games might not have been technically savvy, but Midway always held a special place in my heart. So, going into Wheelman, which may very well be the last game that Midway has produced, I was somewhat disheartened. Midway's debt has gotten so bad that they needed UbiSoft to co-publish the game, as they couldn't afford to press the discs.
To be totally honest, I was not exactly hopeful for this game. First, it's a game starring the simian-man-child, Vin Diesel. The fact that this, along with "Fast and Furious" and "The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena" seems to be an attempt to revive his post-"The Pacifier" career. Secondly, the gameplay looked somewhat broken. My fears for this game, along with Midway's future held in the balance as I put the game into my PS3.
From Xfire: "Video game enthusiast and Hollywood superstar, Vin Diesel, has taken his talents to video games numerous times. We've decided to rank all of his games from the worst to the best."
“Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from terrible to bad”
Fixed the title for you.
Obviously too young or ill-informed to pass judgement. Honestly, Orchard. You just mugged yourself off. Starbreeze Studios' The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a very well-known classic.
Butcher Bay was great. From the prolog, fist fighting, knife fights and story. The immersion of the whole package really uped the criteria of what a cutting edge game was back then. I would like another adventure with Riddick, but it would have to be triple A status to live up to Butcher Bay.
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."
In this episode of InRetroSpect RAW, Dan, Pete & Kris argue over which games demand a sequel. Hear Pete confuse us with Prince of Persia timelines, Kris drops the ball with an unprecedented late swap and find out which game makes Dan threaten to leave if it isn’t included.
Remember everyone, Sega thought it was a better idea to invest in Aliens: Colonial Marines than Shenmue 3.
I never played the Shenmue games, but I've always wanted another Valkeria Chronicles on a main console. So I'd be happy to lend you all my pitchfork when you rise up against Sega.
