PSN: Comet Crash And Hammer Fall Announced For PSN

Today on the official PlayStation Blog was the announcement of Spring Fever, Sony's equivalent of the Summer Of Arcade we saw Microsoft shill out last year. It's a great excuse to show the ton of PlayStation Network titles that are coming out in the next few months.

We've got Flower, Noby Noby Boy, Rag Doll Kung Fu, The Punisher: No Mercy and... wait, what is Comet Crash? You've never mentioned this game before.

After a bit of digging (Google's only answer for several pages is the reprinted press release from today), we found that Comet Crash actually has a website - it's just never been formally announced.

Created by a new company called Pelfast, Comet Crash is a Desktop Tower Defense game in a mixture between PixelJunk Monsters, where you control a character on screen, and the original Desktop TD where you can set up some of the paths that the enemies have to take.

The game will contain a Campaign mode, but also a Battle mode where you fight against your friends with your own swarm of enemies. Interesting concept.

In a strange event, the press release sent to the press and the post on the PlayStation Blog were a little different, with the e-mail mentioning several other unannounced titles.

"In addition to these titles, PlayStation Network will also be launching Bomberman Ultra, Celfactor Ignition, Flock, Texas Cheat-em, Diner Dash, Comet Crash, Hammer Fall, Underfire, Watchmen, Worms, Zen Pimball and many more during this timeframe."

There are several issues with this section of the press release. For starters, it's CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars, not Celfactor Ignition, and it's Zen PiNball, not Pimball. We've heard of Diner Dash coming to consoles, but nothing has been said about it for a while. We recently revealed Worms was coming ourselves, but one we've not heard of is Hammer Fall. What's Hammer Fall? A cool physics based game where you swing around a giant wrecking ball to destroy enemies. Sounds perfect for the SixAxis controller.

You can check out a video of the game, as well as the PC version, over at Fun-Motion.
