Sony Online Entertainment announced today a new IP coming to the PSP -- Cash Money Chaos. From the description, the game is basically a modern-day Smash TV set in a 70s environment.The story works like this: You are captured by some aliens, thrown into a game show, and are asked to not only save the human race, but also get that paper! SOE is promising to put the "C" in chaos on this one:
"Cash Money Chaos is an action-packed, arcade-style shooter that explodes a new genre onto the PSP. CMC will have players scratching their heads, asking themselves if they really just saw -- and shot -- what they think they did. Of course, taking your hands off the controls to scratch your head may be detrimental to surviving the next wave of killer gorillas or demented clowns."
The game is slated to come out early next year. Check after the break for screenshots and the full press release.
