Gamecock struts into Europe; Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball considered for PSN

Indie publisher Gamecock spent some time with GI.biz talking about its move into the European market and future game releases. Trying to leave the whole "John Romero incident" behind, Gamecock CEO Mike Wilson says the company depends on the developers its currently working with to scout new talent and projects.

Of particular interest is the announcement that Dementium: The Ward will be coming to Europe in April, followed by worst-name-for-a-game award winner Legendary: The Box in June. Wilson also notes the upcoming XBLA title Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball could eventually make its way to PSN, saying, "Sony really wants this Pirates vs Ninjas game we're doing for Xbox Live and we're platform agnostic so if we're investing in a title let's give it a chance wherever there is one." We'd laugh (and want a cut) if one of the first expansion packs ends up being PS3 Fanboys vs. Xbox 360 Fanboys.

Watchout Europe. Hide your children. GameCOCK (get it? huh? get it?) is coming to dominate. Better not insult Mr. Wilson, because he's a first-rate douchebag and he'll write angry missives about your past and interrupt your award ceremonies. I'm glad XBOX360 can share some of the COCK love with PSN.

the whole point of the pirates vs. ninjas argument is to prove which one would KILL the other not hit them with balls (unless the balls are administered after the kill)

No one cares.. Especially PS3 owners.. They buy movies, not games.

I've always taken this one as a bit of a Joke. Pirates are a danger to a ninja only if if said ninja is standing in another ship, and said pirate had a cannon and wasn't so grogged he couldn't shoot. Otherwise, in terms of weapons and skills, the ninja wins.(Ninja: stealth, short blades, shuriken, others. Pirate:ambition, cutlass, 18th Century Double Barrel Flock Blunderbuss Pistol, usually doesn't stand alone)
Any sensible person can see my point. Besides, we all know Hollywood backs pirates(That felt wrong) and the games industry backs ninjas!

Meant as a reply to ugg.tryptophan. Now back to the show.

I see nothing wrong with this game coming out on PSN too. More sales for this company means more games from them in the future.

Why do we care about Gamecock? They've released one mediocre game, all their new releases look terrible, and they continue to parade around like we should give a damn about them.

NeverSage: Feb 6th 2008; 12:59PM

I agree. I vote no more Gamecock news until they actually do something worthwhile.
