Steve Lanoce is a detective on the NYPD Bomb Squad. He and his canine partner, Duke, were there for 9/11. Detective Lanoce has received the Medal of Valor for his service at that time, making him much brave than you. He and Duke have been on duty for presidents, heads of state, the UN, Yankee and Shea stadiums, the US Tennis Open and in the transit systems for New York City.
Now you can work side by side with Det. Lanoce in
Bomb Squad: NY, a game from those who brought you
Buku Sudoku on XBLA. Partnered with Duke, you must trust your skills and his instincts to find possible bombs and deactivate them before disaster strikes. Together, you will advance in skills and hopefully bring the terrorists threatening the city with bombs to justice... before it's too late.
Bomb Squad: NY is an opportunity to take the police procedural so popular on TV to the next level...Only in the gaming sector can the player actually interact with the characters, and more significantly, interact with real heroes like Detective Lanoce. That’s something that NCIS or Criminal Minds could never match.
Merscom is a pretty successful
casual mass market game developer. Having produced 9 'Top 5' casual games in 2008. The secret seems to be in the teams they have working with them. Merscom’s Analytics Team, which consists of leading consumer behavior researchers from Duke University, MIT’s Media Lab and Vanderbilt University, has directed the design and development of Merscom’s online survey system and data gathering tools. These tools allow them to make changes to their games which players find to be important.
Although they have released
Buku Sudoku for the Xbox 360, I'm think
Bomb Squad: NY will be a strictly PC end
