Being a Paper Man is tougher than you might realize. Rather than lying around on a table getting written on, a Paper Man has to head off to battle where many hazards await him. Bullets rip holes through his flimsy flesh, grenades shred it; water soaks him through completely, and fire burns him up. No matter how cute he is, this warzone is unforgiving.
One of the few pieces of PC-related news to emerge from the Tokyo Game Show comes in the form of the extremely slick trailer for cartoon shooter, Paperman. It's an arena-based multiplayer shooter, where the flat characters will be able to take advantage of their flat-physics in combat - such as being able to turn side-on to avoid incoming bullets.
