I’m not really sure what to think of a game based on the works of legendary playwright William Shakespeare, but if Dante’s work can make the jump why can’t his. That’s precisely what Mif2000 was hoping to accomplish with their adventure puzzle game, Gamelet. Unfortunately that title seemed to be a smidgen too abstract and was recently rebranded to the much simpler Hamlet or last game without MMORPG elements, shaders and product placement which, if you must, may be shortened to Hamlet or Mif2000′s Hamlet. But that’s not the only news out about this titular behemoth, it also got a brand spanking new trailer and a release date! The game will be releasing April 8th, 2010 and will be available on the PC.

The game definitely looks to be a unique interpretation on the original work. I wonder if the nunnery will be a playable level. One can only hope its similar to Monty Python’s take on convent life.
