The Wheelman

[Ronin Storm]

Anyone remember Vin Diesel's last computer game soiree? I thought it was pretty good. In fact, it's one of the few games I've actually completed, up there with the likes of Max Payne (though Max was better, clearly). Vin's at it again, with The Wheelman (link to: Eurogamer).

Produced in tandem with the MTV Films/Paramount movie of the same name, it's all about going on the run from the US mafia, driving like a loony around Barcelona, and shooting lots of people in the name of protecting a woman from your inevitably dark past.

Now, movie license material usually sucks, badly, often very badly. However, Escape from Butcher Bay was good and I think I'd trust this combination to come up with another game that was equally good.
