Game developers spice things up

Mystery, murder, drama and?sexy pics in the new Nancy Drew game? It looks so. Seems like the games' developer, HerInteractive, is trying to spice things up a little.

Gaming site Kotaku recently posted a picture showing Miss Drew wearing a tight pink shirt. Are fashion trends getting in video games two? By the looks of it the answer is yes. Anyway, the developers of the Nancy Drew video game series want to get Nancy rid of that old maid image and decided to make her more attractive.

Besides the pink tight shirt, she is also wearing some fashionable spectacles and a matching tie (looks like Nancy likes the "business type" outfit.). Maybe she should stick to solving mysteries and stop with the shopping sprees because from what that picture is showing, she lacks good taste.

HerInteractive previously sent a trailer from a Nancy Drew video game to Kotaku but they made fun of it, laughing at the romance between Nancy and the Hardy Boys (who can blame them?).

For those interested, I am ended to reveal that the latest game in the Nancy Drew series is called Dander by Design, and is based on the Nancy Drew book with the same name, written by Carolyn Keene. It was released for PCs on July 24 of 2006. Enjoy!
