Christmas Day is usually a quiet time for game news but newly formed game developer Game Mechanic Studios used that day to reveal the first small details on their debut title, a shooter named Art of War. Our sister site Joystiq earlier this week was the first web site to post up an interview with Game Mechanic Studios about their plans.

Naturally there's not a lot to talk about since the game is still early in development but co-founder Jason Alejandre states, "We make shooters and we are going to start with what we do best which is exactly that. We are going to introduce players to a brand new world." He adds, "The game is different yet the same. When thinking out of the box it is very easy to get caught up in the moment. Then you find yourself somewhere in left field. We plan on straddling the line of familiar yet different." There's no word yet on a release date.
