Tim Schafer's development studio, Double Fine, has announced on the official blog that the popular Xbox Live Arcade comedic mech game, Iron Brigade (formerly known as Trenched), will be hitting PC.

 
According to the blog: "The Iron Brigade community has been super awesome. I love you guys. A lot. Thanks for supporting the game and building a great, positive multiplayer community around it!

<3

But! So far the game has been limited to Xbox Live Arcade. The most frequently asked question that we get is about bringing Iron Brigade to more people who don’t have Xboxes.

Is that the right way to pluralize Xbox? Can you even do it? Xboxs? Xboxen? Maybe it needs a completely different word, like mouse/mice. Goose/geese. Xbox/Xbeex.

Well, however you choose to pluralize that sucker, we’re super interested in getting the game into the hands of more gamers! On top of making the Xbox, Microsoft knows quite a bit about what is known colloquially as the “PERSONAL COMPUTER.” I’m super excited to announce that on August 13th you’ll be able to fire up Steam and play Iron Brigade on your very own PC. "

The developer went on to post screenshots of the PC version that is bound for Steam on the 13th August.

Looks like an interesting tower defense game, specially as it seems that it can be played in co-op.

Looks like a futuristic "Toy Soldiers", which while pretty fun was hampered by a poor camera mechanism (too many limits). Still, it might be better than"Sanctum", a game I tried to like...but couldn't.

I gave Sanctum a go during a free weekend on Steam and I could not like it either.
