Grand Theft Steamboat
















Well...maybe not quite. Still, beautiful cover art on this month's Game Informer reveals a new Mickey-centric game in the works aimed at more mature gamers. The most interesting bit to me was an observation by the lead developer on returning Mickey to his roots as a mischief maker. "They took his mischievousness and his anger and need for revenge and gave it to Donald. At some point they took his naïve simplicity and gave it to Goofy. They took his loyalty and infinite affection and gave it to Pluto of all things. They took his character and just shattered it, and all of a sudden he’s kind of a straight man for the gang." Never thought about it that way before.
