Wanted Corp
I've been keeping an eye on Zoo Entertainment--we don't have many game publishers right here in Ohio--and now they've announced something I'm really interested in. It's a downloadable title called Wanted Corp coming to the PC and PS3 (Move support included) and the premise has me intrigued. A prison ship full of ruthless criminals has crash landed on an alien planet, and you play as one of two bounty hunters tasked with recapturing or eliminating the lot of them. The game will feature both single and multiplayer modes and run for about $10 on PC download services and PSN this summer.
It looks like a fun top-down shooter and has definite co-op potential. My only issue is the voice acting; it sounds like it might get a little annoying.
