OXCGN takes a look at Vin Diesel's two big games for 2009 and asks where they will succeed or why they could fail. Will Chronicles of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena and The Wheelman be noticed in a gaming environment filled with big hyped exclusives Killzone 2 and Halo? Article includes videos.

Vin Diesel, the muscular, bald, gravely voiced actor who started his own video game studio Tigon in 2002, looks ready to make a mark on this year's video game-scape. His studio is involved in at least two Xbox 360/ PS3/ PC games that will be released this year which feature his likeness.

Will the new games match that quality and success, or will they fall short of current-gen standards? And even if they are great titles, with the big-name console exclusive games like Halo 3: ODST and Killzone 2 grabbing most of the attention right now, will they be commercial successes? In short, will Vin Diesel make 2009 the year he surprises everyone again?

    I'm hoping we'll be pleasantly surprised with Wheelman and that people support Dark Athena, even though it isn't one of the bigger named titles.

    Dark Athena's a must buy for me if just for Escape From Butcher Bay.
