Ubisoft Get Into Gear With Brothers in Arms
Just announced for a winter release is Brothers in Arms, a new strategy shooter from acclaimed developer Gearbox, the good ol' boys from Texas who have in the past brought us selected highlights from the Halo and Half-Life series.

Ubisoft jumped at the chance to publish the game, according to Yves Guillemot, CEO and President of the French publishiing giant. "The WWII theme is one of the fastest growing segments of the military shooter market and we believe that Brothers in Arms is the ideal title to expand Ubisoft's new catalog of war games. We were blown away by the immersive and realistic combat we experienced when playing this game and anybody who knows the reputation of Gearbox Software will understand the magnitude of this deal."

"Ubisoft's proven know-how publishing realistic, tactical shooters make an ideal partnership with Gearbox as we create this new franchise," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "With years of research and game design innovation supporting this title, gamers should be ready for an authentic story, a fresh game play design and the ultimate WWII combat experience."

The first handful of screens (if you've had one of your digits shot off in combat, that is) is enclosed.

Seems good, but i won't buy it. Shellshock Nam, BFVietnam, BF1942 and many more are in the line for buying first.
