    Sure, it's nice and all to see brothers work together to solve their problems in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, but which button lets me give the younger brother a noogie? What move lets me embarrass big bro while he's asking the head cheerleader to the Soph Hop?

    "Nobody knows how to make a game yet," says film director Josef Fares, quickly clarifying his statement isn't an attack on the industry but a suggestion that game creation shouldn't be a set science. "It's still a time where we're open to experimentation," the international director adds.Born in Lebanon, Fares grew up in Sweden where he became a director, but his next project pairs him with developer Starbreeze Games to create a game called Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (formerly referred to as "P13" in Starbreeze's internal "project" numbering system). Brothers has been in development for a number of years, with Fares even working on a few of the game's prototypes before the team at Starbreeze locked down the Unreal-developed downloadable title for a 2013 release.The core feature of Brothers is, of course, the game's siblings. But Fares says he's fought off all suggestions by his fellow game makers that the characters should each be controlled by a separate player. Instead, he says, Brothers is designed to have both characters controlled by a single player in a very specifically designed campaign experience.%Gallery-169592%

    Starbreeze has officially taken the wraps off of its mysterious original IP known previously as "P13," unveiling its new, official title, the tautological Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.The Unreal Engine-powered game follows two boys (who are brothers, and also sons) as they go on a journey to retrieve the "Water of Life" for their sick father. Filmmaker Josef Fares is collaborating with Starbreeze and 505 on the development of this XBLA, PSN, and PC game.The first trailer is above, revealing what looks like a very pretty fantasy action-adventure experience. Brothers will be released spring 2013.%Gallery-166855%
