WET is already being labeled by some as Sierra's upcoming "Croft killer", and at first glance it indeed looks to be a buzz worthy mash-up of acrobatics a-la Prince of Persia and sexy, shooter action found in Tomb Raider.

WET
I can't say for certain whether or not WET will be a real contender for next year's best third-person shooter. But I can give you some details as to the game play, storyline and share some artist's renditions of WET's heroine, Rubi - a voluptuous, acrobatic killer with all the right moves to generate serious hype around the game.
The storyline was written by one of the lead writers from Fox's television hit 24 and borrows from the bombshell women assassin number made famous by Tarantinio's Kill Bill. So unlike the disproportionate, vampire killing, dinosaur hunting video game vixens of the past WET follows Rubi, a government-approved mercenary, through her "wet works" or covert assassination missions. When Rubi agrees to help a wealthy man find and bring home his wayward son, **** hits the fan and the tables are turned as the man who hired Rubi isn't who he appeared to be. Now Rubi's on the run, killing everything that gets in her way, needing to find the man who left her for dead.
Toting dual Colt Python pistols and a hefty samurai sword, Rubi uses her acrobatics to climb on ledges, slide under obstacles, swing on poles, run on walls, slide down ladders and flip effortlessly through the air all while taking out targets with innovative 3rd person controls that can be switched from auto-aim for newbs to manual for veteran gamers.
