Human Head, creators of what I believe was one of the most over-hyped games of 2006, just penned a deal with Marc Ecko's new games division, GameDaily reports.

There's really not any details in the announcement other than the typical our game is going "push the boundaries of entertainment" nonsense. Ecko gushed that he is a huge fan of Prey and is "pscyhed" that he gets a chance to work with the studio that made the game.

"Human Head is a premiere developer that is up to the challenge of crafting a title that is conceptually different than any game ever made," said Mike Lynch, President of Marc Ecko Entertainment. "Our entire team is focused on working side by side with Human Head's core group to develop an action title that is truly ambitious in scope. Our job is to change perceptions of what a game can be." ... "When we first met with Marc's team, we were excited by the creative vision that they brought to the table and the fact that they weren't afraid to take risks," added Paul MacArthur, President of Human Head Studios. "We're ready to give players a brand new ride."

Yes, so a next-gen title from Human Head backed by Ecko.

If I was one of the Human Head guys, I'd totally have to ask, everytime we were having a meeting with Marc Ecko, like right in the middle of him saying something: "Is there an echo in here?" and then laugh for two minutes. And I'd do it at every meeting... Yah, one of many reasons I'm not a developer. Brian Crecente
