Despite all the gloom and doom surrounding Midway Games, here's one thing that can cast a bright spot of cheery sunshine. The Wheelman (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), starring Vin Diesel, won't be out till February of next year, but if this cinematic trailer is indication, it's certainly got a lot going for it.

It's got a Hollywood-y feel to it, which isn't exactly a surprise since the lead character is a Hollywood star, and a film adaptation is set to release alongside it. Anyhow, gameplay looks interesting enough, action-packed, most definitely.

Check out that car chase/car jump sequence around the 1:10 mark. Screams action-movie star, huh? A few showers more, and Vin Diesel just might be the next Chuck Norris.
