Overall, the April line-up for video game releases were what we could safely describe as abysmal. Not all hope is lost though, as the final week of April 26 brings about an improved stable of games. Kinda. Well, Wolverine's out to save the day, and I say that ought to count for something, right? And Velvet Assassin's painting the town violet, too. Ready to dive in?

Publisher Phantom EFX has named 12-year industry veteran Bill Wadleigh as Executive Producer in charge of supervising the development of Phantom EFX' upcoming FPS, Darkest of Days. Wadleigh is expected to work closely with 8Monkey Labs throughout the game's development.

Wadleigh has an extensive resume to his name, showing his immersion in casino, online, and PC game development throughout his distinguished career. Prior to this position with Phantom EFX, he worked in San Francisco with Wagerworks/IGT. Further back, he called the shots for WMS Gaming in Chicago from 2001 to 2006.

His traditional gaming work includes Nightcaster and Fighter Ace 2 with VRI in Boulder, Colorado. Collaborations with Microsoft also yielded some role-playing and MMO games.
