admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:58:44 +0000

Cogs 3D is a multiplayer version of Lazy 8’s indie hit Cogs, a diabolically clever Steampunk-style, gear-based puzzler, where you rotate gadgets to solve each puzzle. For PlayStation Home, Codename will be collaborating with Lazy 8 to transform the game to include co-op play and expand the puzzles to full 3D with mechanical elements on all sides. Cogs 3D, located in Home Plaza, will be fun to play and visually stunning to watch.

Zombonie

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 23:57:31 +0000

The zombie apocalypse is here, so what are you gonna do about it?! Well, you just happen to drive the ice re-surfacer at the local skating rink and have one heck of a knack for engineering (too bad you spent your college years playing video games). As the zombies pound at the gates, you quickly combine your smooth ice making baby with the spinning prowess of a street sweeper, and the crushing power of a steam roller as you create the ultimate zombie splattering machine. For you are now mankind’s final savior, the undead skull smasher, and the reaper of the reanimated… You drive… THE ZOMBONIE!!!
