Yeah, a Midway game starring Vin Diesel, I thought it would suck too. Fucking incredble though.
Insane and over the top are understatements, but the fact you don't even have to get out of a car to jack another one is fantastic :D
I've been playing for the past couple of days and it is addictive as hell. If you only get one game in this barron game period, make it this one.
Got the demo (well, I already deleted it) but yeah, seems like good brainless fun, the gimmicks and special moves are great

Looks fuckin great. I'll probably pick it up after the price drops tho. I'm ridiculously backlogged, as far as unplayed 360 titles go. My box not being fixed yet hasn't helped matters.

Is it like anything form the Driver series? If so, I'll give it a try.

The demo is... ironically satisfying for a Midway game. Could have used some of that action when they needed decent games.
...Before they mostly went under.

Feels like you've been saying this for months now. What exactly is the deal with your xbox?
Oh, I enjoyed the demo btw.

No idea if I'm ever getting this fucker back. Been like 2 months. Their fucking service blows.
What does the status thing say on xbox.com?

Could not be processed. Some fucking bullshit error. The phone line says 10 - 15 days.
You should speak with customer service. This is ridiculous it's taking so long.
Wheelman movie incoming: Vin to star, John Singleton to direct (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/08/wheelman-movie-incoming-vin-to-star-john-singleton-to-direct/)

A man like John Singleton needs no introduction, especially around the leaky decks of the Joystiq oil tanker. Every week, we usually enjoy a movie to break up the monotony of teh blawging. Almost always, that movie is Baby Boy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga8o9eepj5s). Now, the directorial genius of Mr. Singleton is being applied to a film version of Vin Diesel's gaming, uh ... triumph, Wheelman (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wheelman). And not only that, but Vin Diesel will also star, Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118003352.html?categoryid=13&cs=1) reports.
The film -- titled simply The Wheelman -- currently has a script and is being put into production by Paramount. The movie will focus on "an expert driver (Diesel) who comes out of retirement to protect a woman from his past." This will be a nice opportunity for Diesel and Singleton to work together, considering Singleton directed 2 Fast 2 Furious (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0322259/), the movie sequel that Diesel opted out of.

This feels like a paradox.
