Hold the hose real tight and get ready for a real fight

A new developer called Epicenter Games is developing a non-violent firefighting action-puzzle game for the Wii, called Real Heroes: Firefighters. The title should help prevent confusion with those other Real American Heroes. Real Heroes casts players as a new firefighter in a busy station, and, of course, uses the Wiimote to simulate a fire hose.

The game makes use of what Epicenter calls "Thinking Fire," which will totally beat you at Othello react unexpectedly and semi-randomly to your actions. The game doesn't have a publisher yet, but they're hoping for a release in late 2008.
