Mike Wilson, he of Ion Storm, Gamecock, Gathering of Developers and Devolver Digital video game company founding fame, is also the star and producer of Austin High, a "goofball stoner comedy" that has nothing to do with video games (I think) and everything to do with joints and bongs and slackerdom.
Today's announcement of Serious Sam: The First Encounter HD for Xbox Live Arcade had a hidden bonus announcement buried within, the existence of Devolver Digital. That's the new production company from the founders of the extinct Gamecock and G.O.D.
This three-minute, 28-second extended version of the last Velvet Assassin trailer we saw skips the Winston Churchill-ish speech and focuses on the music — Hollywood Undead's "Young." I can't say that that does the game any good since the lyrics have even less to do with World War II spies than Michael Jackson's…
Sir Winston Churchill's famous June 4th, 1940 speech, commonly referred to as "We will fight on the beaches", was one of the defining speeches of the World War II era in which Velvet Assassin takes place. I just can't help thinking they chose the wrong image to coincide with the end of the speech in this trailer. Now…
At a time when other companies are reconsidering their membership, fast-growing video game publisher SouthPeak Interactive becomes the first new member of the Entertainment Software Association for 2009.
Gamecock founder Mike Wilson has been in talks with the owner of eBay-listed gaming magazine Hardcore Gamer about a potential purchase, Wilson confirmed to Kotaku today.
There were several things that stayed with me long after I’d put down Velvet Assassin – the most vivid of which was the morphine. In this World War II stealth-action game, morphine acts sort of as bullet-time; when you botch a sneaking mission and your character Violette gets shot at, you can inject yourself with a…
Whoa, I didn't even know SouthPeak Interactive swung that way, but apparently they've been Gamecock-hungry for quite some time and aren't too proud to pay for it. SouthPeak today announces that they have acquired wild-and-crazy Gamecock Media Group. 'Cock head Mike Wilson swells with excitement.
The whole Mushroom Men concept is one bizarre creation from Gamecock. The thing is that you can't help but stare at the beauty of it. There's something really intriguing about helping a lone fungi find his place in society. We have screens from Spore Wars (Wii) and Rise of the Fungi (DS) after the jump.
European gamers who fancied some 1940s stealth gaming in Velvet Assassin will have to wait until the new year. Replay has pushed back the game's European release to early 2009. This is ostensibly to bring the launch in line with the US release but will of course have the handy side-effect of extending the development…
In this behind the scenes look at Spark Unlimited's Legendary we get to see some of the environments that will be featured in the game. Expect it to hit stores for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 September 30th and PC November 4th. Legendary: Behind the Scenes
I always knew the age-old conflict between pirates and ninja was too large to be contained by one console. Today Gamecock announces that Blazing Lizards' Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, coming out next week on Xbox Live Arcade, will also be getting a full retail release on the Nintendo Wii later this winter. Players…
My first real "wow" moment at the Games Convention in Leipzig came when a griffin threw a taxi at me. Mind you it could have been a roc – I'm not exactly up to date on my mythical birds, but whatever it was it was impressive. It was exactly the sort of epic moment you'd expect from a game called Legendary, and after…

Along side Mushroom Men, Gamecock is also publishing Velvet Assassin which looks utterly bad ass. I am going with McWhertor here, I hope they get this stealth gameplay right. An Assassin game set in WWII, count me in! The game will be hitting Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

While Gamecock's Mushroom Men looks weird as hell I am very intrigued by the idea of controlling a Kung Fu trained piece of fungus. I mean think about it, what is stranger than using fungi to karate chop other fungi all in a bunch of mushroom nations? I'm getting hungry just talking about this. The game…
Click to viewLegendary has been in development now for more than three years by a team at Spark Unlimited (not the same ones who did Turning Point). With a little more than a month left before the Sept. 30 ship date for the Playstation and Xbox 360 (the game hits PC on Nov. 4) I'm posting this look at all three…
Gamecock checked in with us today to date Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, the Blazing Lizard developed, Gamecock published game that some of us might have already thought was out. Obviously, it hasn't been released, as it was delayed back in April, and is now due to hit Xbox Live Arcade on September 3. In the meantime,…
Gamers eagerly awaiting the chance to chop off a werewolf's head in the middle of an annihilated New York City will be getting their chance next month, as Gamecock Media Group announces a September 30th release date for Spark Unlimited's fantasy horror shooter. Along with the release date comes news of the pre-order…
GameTap is on a roll! Just yesterday they announced a partnership with THQ to bring their full line of PC titles to the service and now they've gotten themselves mixed up with the bad crowd over at Gamecock Media Group. The two companies have entered into a partnership to digitally distribute GC's wares via the magic…
Those two things would be tight pants and Nazi killing. Looks like Replay Studios, by way of Gamecock, will be serving up both in spades, as crouch-walking and fence-scaling are ideal activities for maximizing the exposure of a caboose in taut leather. Velvet Assassin also lets you shoot Nazis in the face. You've…
