Wanted: Weapons of Fate

Wanted: Weapons of Fate was released last week on Windows PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.  The game is meant to be a continuation of the movie Wanted starring James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie. You will play as Wesley Gibson (McAvoy’s character), a man who has learned he is the son of a masterful assassin and possesses the same abilities.  You will be hunted by the renegade faction, The Fraternity.

As was the case in the movie, you will be able to bend the laws of physics by curving the trajectory of the bullets you fire in mid-flight.  You will also be able to move through the environment with incredible speed by using the “Quick-Chain” cover.  By utilizing precision of “Assassin Time” you will be able to take down multiple foes at one time.

Here are some screenshots to give you a better idea of what the gameplay will look like:

I bought into the hype and saw Wanted and was pretty disappointed by several aspects of it.  I can, however, see how it could be a lot of fun as a game and I think I might rent it this week and test it out.  Here’s a trailer:
