A new Hardy Boys PC game is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com (http://www.hardyboyscasefiles.com/store/index.php?isbn=B001V9Y550), and is due in stores at the end of May.
A series of malicious crimes grips the Hardy Boys' hometown of Bayport and it's up to Frank and Joe Hardy to assist the police in their attempt to capture the culprits. From the first crime scene, however, it becomes apparent that there's an even deeper plot to these sinister activities. Search and explore more than 30 unique locations across 50 different levels as you attempt to unravel the mysterious case and uncover the mastermind behind the recent crimes.

4 seperate cases this time? Hopefully one or all of them will be stories that don't feature ATAC.
But, I guess that we don't have anymore info on the release date?

Amazon's release date in May is correct. Of course, remember release dates can change, but I am told that is pretty solid.
Seperate cases? Interesting. Sounds like no dwadling and right to the point stories.
Thousands of items? Would it be like an I spy sort of thing?
Sounds like the millionheir estate game..
Thousands of Items? Do they all go in your Inventory? (F&J need a big backpack!) Also do you have to play the cases in order or can you get stuck on one and do a different case for a bit?
I've updated the first post of this topic with the box cover. Also, I have added the game (http://www.hardyboyscasefiles.com/index.php?nav=atac&sub=games&game=002) to the UB/Games section (http://www.hardyboyscasefiles.com/index.php?nav=atac&sub=games) of the web site, where you can view a larger image of the cover.
Doesn't that picture remind you of the first cover for the Undercover Brothers version of Blown Away?

No, and I don't expect there to be any. The philosophy of the marketing of this game is totally different than the last one. But I will try so squeeze something out of them. :)
Well SDL is Batman madey he can hammer some info out of them.

It is quite different isn't it? Last time we know about the game months ahead of time...we got screenshot and eventually a trailer. the game even went through a name change. This time we don't even hear about the game until I stumble upon it on a online gaming store, only a few months before it's release.
Plus, no gaming sites even seem to know about it yet, whereas last time IGN was listing it, etc, and Adventure Gaming sites were previewing it. This time around, nothing.

Look what I found. A pile of screenshots and a trailer.
The premise sounds cool, but I'm a little disappointed with the new layout. I really liked the 3rd person game play of the first game.
The character design is also a little strange. Nobody looks the same as they did in the first game! The Hardys look weird.
A timer? NOOOOOOOOOO! Not a timer! I hate timers! They ruin the fun! :-[
Ew! Those are not the Hardy Boys!
My thoughts exactly!
Notice how they used a pic of Emma Roberts' Nancy Drew for one of the characters?

Oh did they? I only looked at one, and after I saw the "Hardy Boys" I stopped looking. :P
I just saw the sreen shots. Please don't be an I Spy game!
Also does Joe have brown hair!
Also, do the Hardy boys look stupid?
Sounds good.
I know I left the forum for a bit, but I could be coming back lol..
