James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club: Games of Passion
Even though Sin and Punishment: Star Success was released in North America just a few weeks ago, the game actually launched in Japan late last year. So it’s about time that Treasure starts working on something new, right? Well, a job listing on the company’s website provides a bit of insight into the company’s next project. Treasure is currently looking for a number of programmers for a “3D action shooter.” It seems very likely that development of the title is in its early stages, so it’ll probably be awhile before we hear anything official about the game.
For those of you that own Monster Hunter Tri, you know how addictive it can be. It’s a tought thing to explain, so rather than explaining it myself, I shall fall back on this quite from Capcom’s Official Blog:
“Not long after, you realize it’s 4am, you haven’t eaten, and you’re still not ready to turn it off. It’s more than a fun and addicting game, it’s rewarding and satisfying throughout your time in the game.” – Capcom’s Blog
I cannot tell you how many times this exact thing has happened to me, which is proof enough as to how addicting it really is. Now, since it is so fun, it makes sense that a lot of people would be playing it, right? According to this chart, it’s easily the fastest played and most avidly played Wii game of all time, and it’s looking to take down Brawl in no time at all. That’s pretty darn good news for Capcom, if I do say so myself!
