8 Movies That Received Video Game Only Sequels

6. Wanted: Weapons Of Fate

AKA: Wanted II While the studio spent years following the success of Wanted trying to mount a sequel, they kept coming up against the same insurmountable issue; Angelina Jolie€™s character died in the original, and they really didn€™t want to make it without her. While they tried to contrive a reason to explain away her bullet to the head, the other issue was Jolie didn€™t want to come back. A reboot is more likely at this stage, but if fans are eager to see where the story went next the tie-in game - Weapons Of Fate - is the only way to go. The story follows Wesley a few hours after the events of the film, where he fights another branch of The Fraternity and discovers some secrets of his past; there€™s also flashback levels with his father Cross that set things in motion. Weapons Of Fate is a perfectly serviceable €“ if forgettable €“ third person shooter, that also connects to the comic by having Wesley (not voiced by James McAvoy sadly) wear the Killer suit. There€™s cover shooting, slo-mo action and bullet curving but outside of the name, there€™s not much here to make it stand out.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
