Finally, Hudson has heard our prayers and crafted a game that's not so much a game as it is work (World of Warcraft not withstanding). Hard Working People draws inspiration for its collection of mini-games not from rabbits farting or ring tosses, but from real life professions like dentist, EMT or ... haunted house crew.
That's not particularly impressive, as Japanese companies have horrible ideas for games all the time. No, what's notable is that this one is actually coming to the US. Heck, you can even vote on the name Hudson USA will give its North American counterpart. Why isn't "The Clearest Sign Yet That the Video Game Industry is Imploding" an option?
