Taking a page from the whole open-world action game genre, Midway Games is set to deliver its own hardcore action game with This is Vegas for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The upcoming title recently acquired its own space on the IGN blogs for those of you who want to keep yourselves updated with the game.

Patrick Lipo, Studio Creative Director of Surreal Software, made the opening statement on the new developer's blog. He describes the game as something that players can live out their own idea of a "Vegas fantasy".

To help players flesh out this rather vague tagline, here are a couple of rules that he outlined which sums up the values of the game:

• Rule #0: Above all else, this is an open-world action game.
• Rule #1: The player must feel cool and take action with style.
• Rule #2: The world must react boldly to the player’s actions.
• Rule #3: This isn’t realistic Las Vegas, this is a Vegas fantasy.

While Lipo admitted that the dev team has been rather tight with the details of the game so far, he promises that everyone will get to see more updates in the upcoming Midway's Gamers' Day this April 17. The event will reveal more media and information when it will finally be released.
