For some people, 9/11 still doesn’t feel too far off. For just about everybody, the Sofa Super Store fire is still a current event. Now - take this as you will - there’s word that a game called Real Heroes: Firefighter is coming out for the Wii.
“The Wii is a family-friendly console and we’ve designed Real Heroes with that in mind,” said Nathaniel McClure, Epicenter’s CEO, to Monsters and Critics.com. “Because firefighting requires a lot more than dousing flames, Real Heroes emphasizes non-violent, game-integral puzzles that mirror the challenges and on-the-fly choices firefighters actually face.”
McClure then added, “We are making every effort to create a game that is intense and engaging, but always respectful to firefighters who, we believe, are real heroes.”

cool, if it doesn’t make use of the rumble feature, and it feels like TOO much of an arcade game, it’s a no-go for me
