Midway confirmed today that Wheelman (PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3) will be shipping out globally on February 16, 2009. The game should available in stores by the 20th.

Why this should interest you? If you haven't heard about it yet, you should know that the game is co-produced by and stars Vin Diesel. You may remember the work he did on the Chronicles of Riddick game, which is one of the few credible movie to game licenses I know of.

Supposedly, Vin and his studio, Tigon are working pretty closely with Midway to make Wheelman. They intend to turn the game into a movie eventually so they have several million reasons to see this game do alright. If you're into open-world driving games, you might want to try this one out.
