If there was one game I was hoping would become a sleeper hit, it was Wanted: Dead. Set in a neon-bathed Hong Kong and channeling the good ol' PS2 era, 110 Industries' first outing looked to be full of promise - especially given its combat seamlessly blends hack-and-slash chaos with slick third-person shooting. That said, wedged between major new releases, Wanted: Dead failed to secure its space in the spotlight, falling into relevant obscurity soon after.
