And much better, when you click on it, you'll find out that it's due for release in April!!!
Here's what we know about the game!

Information from Game on Magazine Lemmings Revolution Preview
Note: this is the latest information available on Lemmings Revolution
It promises to be ever bit as annoying and mind boggling as the original and combined with the skills seen in the original Lemmings game, we're also likely to see new features like Anti gravity, Herder, Lantern, Rocket, Slow down, Speed up, Trampoline and Catherine wheel. We'll also see two new breeds of Lemming. The garden variety are the ones we're used to, but also Lava and Water varieties which can walk on guess what ... well Lava and Water.
