There’s one thing authors must have realized by now – nothing they write is ‘unfilmable’. Take William Burroughs’ Naked Lunch; a novel without a plot, banned for its obscene caricatures, provocative language and vivid references to drug addiction and paranoia. Unfilmable, they said, until the movie some 32 years later.

On Oct. 13 – next Tuesday, as of this writing – two of the most hotly anticipated games of 2009, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Brutal Legend, will drop into stores and kick the fall release schedule into high gear. Amid the excitement, you could be forgiven for completely ignoring a third game that also hits that day, the recently announced and little-publicized Way of the Samurai 3.
When relaying states of personal excitement, a lot of game journalists like to talk in terms of wetness. Like: "This game looks so awesome it made me wet".

Vin Diesel is Midway’s second action film icon cum game developer, after John Woo. Vin brought his Hollywood sensibilities to bear on the project and was deeply involved in the design of the game from the beginning. The design team dissected several memorable car chases from movies like Ronin and The Bourne Identity to create the building blocks for Wheelman’s driving experience.

Now with all that bad punning in the past we can get onto telling you about Midway’s The Wheelman, which we got hands on with at an even in London recently. It stars Vin Diesel as Milo Burik, a driver who comes out of retirement to save a woman – these types can never just pack it up to Florida and play golf,
We were determined not to hearken back to White Gold’s predecessor when writing up our impressions of the open-world shooter, but when you’re sprinting down a road being chased by a disastrously animated snake, it’s hard not to conjure up memories of Boiling Point’s hovering death pumas.
