Gamasutra reports today on an in-development rehash of one of my favourite old games, Cannon Fodder by Codemasters. From the article:
“British game publisher Codemasters have announced the now-portable return of their classic Cannon Fodder franchise, set to massively attack PSPs in the spring of 2007.”
PSP!?!?!? This was a game whose biggest claim to fame was the freedom to aim quickly and freely with the mouse! What’s it doing on a dual analog system? No doubt the game will be retooled into a non-descript Army Men / Armed & Dangerous / Contra clone that works well on that wee little PSP analog nub. The original game deserves to be released on the DS in all its free-aiming glory!
Check out Cannon Fodder and Cannon Fodder 2 from Home of the Underdogs! Bloody war has never been so adorable!
