Brothers in Arms Maker Files 'War Hero' Trademarks
by Chris Faylor, Jun 24, 2009 8:40am PDTNew trademark registrations from Gearbox Software seem to suggest that the company behind the World War II shooter series Brothers in Arms and Wii maraca-shaker Samba de Amigo is plotting (or at least protecting) a new "War Hero" franchise.
The studio recently filed for four trademarks related to that phrase--World War II Hero, War Hero, Brothers in Arms War Hero, and Modern War Hero--as noticed by superannuation. Each filing is listed under the general category of "computer game programs and computer game software."
At present, Gearbox has three mystery projects and two known titles--Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines--in development. Borderlands (PC, PS3, 360) is slated to hit this October, while Aliens (PC, PS3, 360) is expected no earlier than next year.

I can't wait to get my AR-15 controller with five colored buttons on various portions of the weapon (green for trigger, orange for clip reload, red to clear weapon jams, blue to fire the attached grenade launcher, etc.)
