3G Studios (http://kotaku.com/tag/3gstudios/), which has worked on games like SWAT: Target Liberty on PSP and...the Jillian Michaels game on the Wii, is currently developing Brave Arms (http://kotaku.com/tag/bravearms/), a first-person shooter that looks like The Sims meets Brink.

"Our new title, Brave Arms, will bring First-Person Shooter games to the masses," James Kosta, boss of 3G Studios, told Worlds in Motion. "It's about fast-paced action and either competing against or forming teams with your friends. We want people to feel empowered and to share in a real video game experience."
Those are some awful outfits, but then, this is a Facebook game. I'm more interested in how this will work, and be received by the millions of people happy playing spreadsheet-shufflers like Mafia Wars, than why that man is wearing a fisherman's beanie.
