Renegade Kid's Project M revealed as DS action title 'Moon'

From the fetid halls of Dementium to the vacuous surface of the moon, developer Renegade Kid has proven that it isn't shy about taking its first two projects into uncharted territories. Publisher Mastiff has revealed that the dev's second project, previously known as "Project M," is in fact a futuristic action title for the Nintendo DS simply called Moon.

While we'll continue to wait for a simulation of that timeless Saturday night ritual of flashing our bare posteriors to cars on the freeway, Moon instead will take us to the lunar surface in 2058 for a first-person adventure that according to Mastiff's hilariously titled "Head Woof" Bill Swartz is "frequently violent" and "always disturbing." We'll have to take his word for it, as neither screens nor a release date have been released, leaving us to replay Dementium and squint at the screen while mentally replacing crazed mental patients with equally crazed aliens -- we should do all of our previews this way.

I don't think I'll get this.

I'm not usually susceptible to internet hype, but I fell for Dementium. Everybody boosted this game. The graphics were amazing. The concept was intriguing. It was supposed to be a "psychological survival horror". All on a DS!

I ordered it without thought: it was a trap. A dirty, monotonous, corridored trap. What a dull game. That's not to say that this new project will be poor. But, I have no faith. I'll trust my instincts and stay away from Renegade Kid.

They better not be ripping off my idea.

Reservation Moon:

It the year 2100 and the native americans have been chased completely off the North American continent, completely off the earth actually, and repopulated in colonies on the moon. You play Chief Running Tab and you must guide your people in a campaign to destroy the earth. Build gambling casinos and liquor and cigarette stores in order to earn enough financial backing to build a giant bow and arrow which you will fire into north america from the moon.

Features: Scalps, Buffalos wearing breathing fishbowls, drunk injuns
