Midway's line-up of games for 2008 continues to get pushed back to next year. Earlier this month we reported that the open world action game This is Vegas had been delayed until next year and now Kotaku reports from the San Diego Comic-Con that Wheelman, the action-driving game "starring" Vin Diesel, won't make its fall 2008 release date either.
Citing the need for more development time the game is now due for release in the first quarter of 2009. That basically means there will be no PC games from Midway released in 2008. Ouch. It looks like the publisher is putting all of its marbles behind its latest Mortal Kombat game for its holiday 2008 lineup.

Probably for the best considering how crowded this holiday season is already. I haven't really been following the game so I don't enough to be disappointed. It looses points with me right off the bat due to the celebrity involvement though. Trying to put real life people into games never works for me. It just wastes tons of time and money to end up with a freakish mannequin version of the person. See above screen shot for an example of what I mean.
