Mushroom Men: Spore Wars is one of the few Wii games on the horizon that caught my eye when I was at PAX. In my hands-on time with the game it seemed like a pretty solid platformer with a good sense of humor. What I have for you readers today is a closer look at [...]

As any FPS fan can tell you, the game market these days is oversaturated with World War II games. With Call Of Duty: World at War on the horizon, it seems like it’s a trend that shows no sign of stopping any time soon. However, there’s one WWII-themed game coming out that will bring you [...]

Today, publisher SouthPeak Games announced that it has acquired Austin-based Gamecock Media Group. SouthPeak, the company behind Two Worlds and Dream Pinball 3D, certainly seems to be adding some good games to its repertoire with the addition of Gamecock’s Velvet Assassin and Legendary. From the press release:

We managed to nab a video of the newest Velvet Assassin trailer that was show at the Leipzig Games Convention today. Of course, when I say “we managed to nab” I mean that Gamecock provided it for us. Looks to me like “The Chronicles of Splinter Gear British Girl”. Could be interesting…

Gamecock gets faulted a lot for their outlandish publicity stunts, but after receiving a fresh new batch of screenshots from the unstoppable publisher we’re actually rather impressed by the scope and variety of their upcoming games. Look at these screens– you have a downloadable Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball game (with Zombies and Aliens, too!), a [...]

Gamecock’s mythological first person shooter, Legendary, will officially be in stores October 1st. In the mean time, we were able to full the following items out of Pandora’s box before pissing our pants and running away like scared school girls. Chapter one of Legendary’s behind-the-scenes video, headed up by the games producer, John Garcia Shelton, [...]

Gamecock Media Group are the crazy guys responsible for publishing a number of console and handheld games, ranging from the frightening and political to the frustrating and psychedelic. While many of these games can be considered a mixed bag—often a good idea followed up with a flawed execution—you can judge Gamecock’s new games Legendary and [...]

A special Box arrived at Ripten HQ today– it was glowing a sickly yellow and from within we heard the wailing of the souls of the damned. But curiosity soon took hold, and I quickly ripped off the silver Christmas wrapping paper, only to be overcome by the suffering of a million years of human [...]

The game previously known as Sabotage, Velvet Assassin, has finally been given a release date of Fall 2008 for its outing on the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.

Gamecock, well know for their hijinks and controversy, have announced that Mike Wilson, Grand Champion of Gamecock, will stand as a presidential candidate for the Entertainment Software Association, the body in charge of organising the E3 Media & Business Summit.

“Did you know that I approve of this message? Well, I do.” No doubt the candidate would also approve of our enthusiasm for the new game from Wideload that he stars in: Hail to the Chimp.

When Gamecock stormed the stage at the Video Game Awards earlier this month, they prevented Ken Levine, lead designer of BioShock, from giving his acceptance speech after winning the award for Game of the Year. For the first time since the event, Levine has given a short interview on the matter.

With mega-company Take 2 taking home top honors at the Spike Video Game Awards, indie publisher Gamecock was desperately vying for attention. But what’s sadder than “Game of the Year” body art? How about crashing Ken Levine’s acceptance speech in red capes and masks?

Charles Deckard opened the original can of worms when he stole Pandora’s Box. The Box even knows he’s the won who did the deed, and the brand it leaves on his hand connects him to the “animus” magic inside. Of course, all hell literally breaks loose and whether it’s the Council, the Black Order, or [...]

This game is buggy. That’s the obvious psuedo-pun to make, considering I don’t mean “riddled with coding errors,” but it’s true — there are lots of bugs. Hard boiled ones, at that! Developer Crackpot Entertainment’s Insecticide takes place in a world where insects have evolved beyond humans (who now need to wear oxygen helmets to [...]
