The new game developer start up Game Mechanic Studios made their first game announcement last Christmas Day with the first reveal of Art of War, their debut action game. This week the developer sent over a new concept piece from the game (shown above) that seems to show a guy with a sword going up against lots of other guys shooting rifles. Our question: Who would you put your money on winning this battle?

While there still isn't a lot of info about this game yet, our sister site Joystiq.has an excellent feature article that looks at some new independent start up and Game Mechanic Studios is one of them. Be sure to check it out.
