Mike Wilson: “People seemed pretty bored” at E3 2009, working on something new
Before I wrote “E3 could probably use a little more GameCock,” I tried to reach former GameCock CEO Mike Wilson for comment. Since he wasn’t with SouthPeak, the company that acquired GameCock in 2008, it took a little extra time to get hold of him. It turns out he was… Continue Reading »
Opinion: E3 could probably use a little more GameCock
One of the more colorful characters - in more ways than two - at the last two E3s was the raucous bunch of indie developers from GameCock Media. Unfortunately, the company and its crazy antics were caged when bought by SouthPeak. That might have been a good thing for the… Continue Reading »
SouthPeak picks up Gamecock - may spawn a SouthPeacock
SouthPeak Interactive has just announced that it has purchased Gamecock Media Group. This means that the independent Gamecock is going to be absorbed into SouthPeak. Its good for Gamecock in a way, since it means they’ll get more money and exposure. Let’s hope it doesn’t stiffle the smaller company’s creativity.… Continue Reading »
Preview of Velvet Assassin from PAX 08
I had the opportunity to try Gamecock’s Velvet Assassin in an appropriately dark, curtained back room at this year’s PAX 08. After all, the game’s tagline is, “Battles are won on the fronts but wars are won in the shadows.” In Velvet Assassin the protagonist is Violette Summer, a British… Continue Reading »
Gamecock makes like an arcade at PAX 08
I have to admire the way Gamecock set up its booth at PAX 08. It was enclosed with transparent plastic and in very low light, like arcades of the ‘80s. To complete the illusion of a video arcade, players would even stand up as they played the game in arcade-style… Continue Reading »
Gamecock’s PAX 2008 lineup
Gamecock has also announced a list of the five games it will be displaying at Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2008, which runs from August 29-31, 2008. It has a pretty well rounded display set up, featuring games for the Xbox 360, DS, Wii and PC. So only Sony system owners… Continue Reading »
Gamecock announces Legendary release date, graphic novel, pre-order bonus
The present day mythical creature kill-a-thon known as Legendary is a little longer than a month away from being released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 (and later for PC). When the game is released on September 30, 2008, on consoles (November 4, 2008, for PC), players will enter the… Continue Reading »
GameCock’s going to strut its stuff all ‘round E3’s sorry self
I reached out to indie game developer GameCock to see what it has planned for this year’s E3. As expected and much like last year, GameCock is not officially attending E3. Instead, those rockin’ ‘Cocks like to handle things their own, very public way. Although they didn’t divulge any of… Continue Reading »
Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball gets pirated (probably by Ninjas)
In one of the funniest twists I’ve seen this year, Gamecock Media Group has announced that Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will be delayed due to piracy. Apparently some villainous scoundrels have already started distributing copies of the upcoming Xbox 360 title. Initial reports suggested that pirates were behind the affair,… Continue Reading »

With titles like Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit The Road and Dark Forces: Jedi Knight, members of developer Crackpot Entertainment have a lot to live up to with Insecticide, which shipped for the DS on Wednesday March 12, 2008. The tries to mix action (platforming) with adventure… Continue Reading »
