News: Finally, a "real" criminal simulator.
2K Games today announced Snow, a real-time strategy game centered around building a criminal empire. The game will be released for the Xbox sometime in 2006.
We don't much about Snow other than this quote from 2K Games:
"With Snow, the team at Frog City has created a compelling fictional world of underground characters that translates perfectly into a real-time strategy game," said Christoph Hartmann, Senior Vice President of Publishing for 2K Games. "Snow's gritty story follows the tradition of classic movie and television crime dramas and requires players to oversee every aspect of the criminal organization, all of which require calculated thinking in order to make your business prosper while at the same time keeping it safe from other rival kingpins. This will surely make for an intense, paranoid and most importantly, strategic gaming experience."
More will be revealed at E3.
Oh, Snow is also a euphemism for cocaine, so it has that going for it.
