Last week, I headed out to the Royalton Hotel in midtown Manhattan — yes, the same one that’s mentioned in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five — for the 2008 THQ Holiday Junket (and no, I have no idea why they called it that, either). I played and/or had demoed to me multiple games, and I’ll be bringing you good folks my thoughts on said games for the next few days.
First up is Deadly Creatures, a third-person action thriller game that’s being developed for the Wii by Rainbow Studios, the people behind the PS2’s ATV Offroad Fury games. It’s quite unlike anything I’ve ever seen before: the game takes place in a desolate desert environment, and you play as either a scorpion or a tarantula. Obviously, this game isn’t for the squeamish; you’ll encounter various other insects and arachnids, and you can kill them (and subsequently eat them) for health.
If you haven’t turned away in disgust and are still reading, hit the jump for my impressions of Deadly Creatures.
