Midway just tossed us a bunch of screens and art for their upcoming title This is Vegas, which is slated for release next year on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

This is Vegas
is a gambling game with a twist. It actually possesses a story and has several different dynamics aside from just staring at a slot machine. The game is slightly bent to boot. This is Vegas revolves around making Las Vegas an evil, sin-filled place again after a businessman turns the city into a G-rated hospice for vacationers and thrill seekers. It is up to the particularly gruff protagonist to travel around Vegas collecting money by gambling, racing, drinking, and fighting. Oh, and This is Vegas embraces cheating, so get ready to have some decent gambling game fun for once.

Feel free to check out the gallery below to get a solid feel for the game.

Does the main character still look like Nick Chester?

If so, 11/10

Hooray for cheating! I could never stand any gambling minigames in other games because it is really just luck. How is that any fun, especially when you're not playing with real money?

Wow, a story about a man who wants to keep a corrupt city, well, corrupt. Plus of all people, who happens to be the ambassador of Douchesilvania.

This game is probably going to suck, but the screens look decent and I'll probably buy it for shits and giggles anyway. The concept behind it is mildly interesting, at least.

I'm lolling at this screenshot. Do sparkles and glitter always come out when he punches people? If so, AWESOME!

Sounds like it would be good for a laugh, but in a game where I beat people up, dance with whores, shoot people, and smack people around with what appears to be a tribal tattoo, why the hell would I want to stop and play blackjack?

Particularly gruff protagonist? He looks like Ryan f'ing Seacrest.
