Recently on Offworld

Recently on Offworld, still stinging from the uncertainty of a Western release, we watched, with wonder, six full minutes of Muscle March, Namco's WiiWare game of oiled down beefcake bodybuilders trying to retrieve their stolen protein powder -- and it's everything we'd hoped it would be.

We also saw the announcement of the seemingly Party-Monster-esque new chapter of Grand Theft Auto, called (yep) The Ballad of Gay Tony, watched the first extended video of the forthcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and pre-ordered fantastically designed fan-made Metal Gear Solid T-shirts, shoulderbags and buttons.

Finally we explored life on Mars as Noby Noby GIRL finally meets the red planet, saw Crayon Physics dev Petri Purho return with a sneak peek at his first new prototype in too long, coveted a pair of custom Grim Fandango Converse, loved the comic book cover concept when LittleBigPlanet meets 2000AD, and saw the first concept art from a proposed swamp-opera platformer/adventure from Die Gute Fabrik called Mutatione (above).
