In the latest edition of EGM (April) is a preview of a title that can only be described as a hardcore gamers wet dream...

  Gameplay influenced by the fantastic Settlers of Catan, Multiplayer designed by engineers that worked on the Halo series, 4 player local split-screen and 8 player online play, in one article this game has already generated more buzz than many games do in their entire lifecycle. 

If you're thinking that this sounds too good to be true and have been burnt before by EGM April Fools day madness, worry not.  We have contacted Certain Affinity and have gotten the good word that this is not some cruel joke.

In a somewhat interesting turn, the game will be published by none other than Capcom.  In keeping with their new "policy" of having three months publicity time for XBLA titles, we should be expecting the title some time in June of this year.
