Show Me Your Gamecock!
Mike Wilson and Harry Miller, formerly of Gathering of Developers, have reinvented themselves into a new independent game publisher called Gamecock Media. They have announced five new games they are currently planning to unleash on what they have described as a boring gaming landscape. Saucy name aside, the list of games is actually rather intriguing.
- Fury: Developed by Auran, Fury is a massively multiplayer “player vs. player” game for PC scheduled to be released for the 2007 holiday season.
- Insecticide: Developed by Crackpot Entertainment, Insecticide is a stunning film noir action/adventure game set in a decaying world run by bugs. It will be available for the 2007 holiday season on handheld TBA and PC.
- Mushroom Men: Developed by Red Fly Studios, Mushroom Men is an incredibly detailed stylized world where mushrooms have taken on human-like feature and are now embroiled in a civil war. This is slated for a spring 2008 release on a next-gen console and handheld, both TBA.
- Hail to the Chimp: Developed by Wideload Games, Hail to the Chimp is an impossible-to-classify party game based on politics in the animal kingdom. The game is scheduled for release in spring 2008 for next-gen consoles TBA.
- Hero: Developed by Firefly Studios, Hero is a brutal but comical romp through the “real” world of medieval dungeons. It will be coming to a next-gen console TBA and PC in spring 2009.
Insecticide and Mushroom Men (pictured) look really interesting, especially from a visual aspect. Of course, even games can't get by on looks alone, so we will just have to wait and see what the gameplay turns out to be before we can pass judgment. Until then, I'm sure we will all be waiting to see whether this Gamecock is a shower or a grower. Let's hope it's a little of both.

Wait...
Wasn't Hail to the Chimp a Simpsons bit?
It certainly was! it was the first thing I thought of when I saw that!
So I wasn't the only one who thought instantly of the Simpsons when Hail to the Chimp was there.
D'oh, I ment to say, "when I saw that." Oh well.
Their e-mails went into my spam box! I wonder why...
