Caduceus gets some New Blood

More On: Trauma Center: New Blood
Atlus just announced Trauma Center: New Blood, the third installment in their quirky sugery sim series.  While Second Opinion was a great game and a worthy remake of the DS original, it didn't take full advantage of the Wii's abilities, and this third entry looks to push the limits.  Co-op multiplayer, online leaderboards and full voice acting are only a few of the new features.  I can't wait to see where they'll take the story--the game focuses on two entirely new doctors--but I imagine Dr. Stiles or Nurse Angie might make some appropriate cameos.  In any case, we won't have to wait too long--the operation begins this holiday.

About

Trauma Center: New Blood:

At a remote hospital in Alaska, Dr. Markus Vaughn quietly toils, a surgeon who has forsaken the politics and power struggles of his former ward. He is content to use the power he has discovered within himself, the Healing Touch, to positively affect the lives of those in need. His partner is Valerie Blaylock, a promising young doctor eager to unlock her own dormant abilities.

When the facility unexpectedly closes, they are forced to return to Concordia Medical Institute, where politics are more important than patient’s lives, and doctors more concerned with image than their ministration. There they are recruited into the government organization Caduceus, where they will learn of a conspiracy with dire ramifications, and their lives will be changed forever!
