WET
A game that was still under development when Activision and Vivendi merged, WET was one of those games that looked like it was never going to get a chance to be finished. Fortunately for the game, it was picked up by Bethesda and now is on its way to computer store shelves sooner than later. Gamers will be able to see WET on sale maybe late this year or early next year which means that those who would want to buy used WET game would have to wait a lot longer.
The game was first introduced two years ago at a Sierra conference and this is where gamers were able to get a first look at the game. From there, gamers would expect WET to be something of an acrobatic shooter based on a 70’s action movie which looks and feels like a Quintin Tarantino vision. (more…)

FUEL
Asobo Studios based in France are working on a game which they hope to mimic the success of Burnout Paradise, an open world racer or sandbox racer. The idea of this kind of game is intriguing, unique and the possibilities seem to be endless. However only a few games have shown real potential with this gaming genre and most of them have failed to deliver the expectations of gamers. Asobo Studios hopes to have better luck when FUEL on sale hits stores all over the world. They have intertwined variety of vehicles, amazing map designs and futuristic look with this game.
After you buy FUEL, you will be able to pilot several different vehicles available throughout the game, more than seventy as a FUEL review suggests. These vehicles range from dune buggies, sedans, motorcycles, monster trucks, quads, muscle cars and a whole lot more. The best thing about this variety is that each of them has particular strengths and weaknesses. For example, a motorcycle can climb up a hill faster than a sedan can while it can’t go through the same rugged terrain a monster truck can take on. Because of this, each car has a different GPS system that guides you to your goal. (more…)
