You know,Real Heroes: Firefightersis a game that’s easy to write off. It’s a firefighting game. On the Wii. So I understand. I had similar feelings going into a demo of the gameearlier this year; I didn’t expect much.

But I came away impressed with what the small team at Epicenter Studios (a new studio made up of industry veterans) was able to pull off; the game was shaping up nicely. ThinkMetroid PrimemeetsCall of Dutymeets… fire. Lots of it.
