#WANTED WEAPONS OF FATE PC ON ULTRA GRAPHICS MOVIE#
Still, gamers have on occasion admitted to this being a guilty pleasure.įor those of you who missed it, the movie Wanted was based around a guild of assassins (the Fraternity) whose creed was to murder anyone whose name is found in the cloth produced by a gigantic loom. One of the licensed titles that they turned for Warner Brothers and Universal was Wanted: Weapons of Fate. This particular title managed to earn a 62 on Metacritic and flatlined on store shelves. It’s a shame, because they actually were a competent company that seemed just on the cusp of doing something truly special.
To pay the bills, they found themselves taking on licensed properties to some success, but were never able to get their own original projects off the ground. While they put out an excellent and faithful remake in Bionic Commando Rearmed, they were also responsible for the baffling Bionic Commando reboot (spoiler for a future entry of this very column). With Lowered Expectations, we scrape the craggy underbelly of releases gone by to see if a change of perspective can reveal something worthwhile.Īs a game developer, Grin had somewhat of a spotty history. Whether this is a failing of marketing, critical drubbing or just not living up to the expansive heights that we as gamers crave, the bargain bins are littered with titles that go unnoticed or maligned. Despite the fact that hundreds of games release every year, the vast majority tend to go ignored by the gaming populace at large.
