PSN, XBLA: Workman Says Things: The Ship, Bust-A-Move Live! To Download Services
Industry sleuth Ron Workman, known to many as someone who provides info about upcoming digi-download games, has received information indicating that The Ship and Bust-A-Move Live! will be released for digital download on HD consoles.
Bust-A-Move, also known as Puzzle Bobble, is said to be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Previous WiiWare titles like Bubble Bobble Plus! and Rainbow Islands: Towering Adventure have been revealed to be coming to Xbox Live Arcade and now it appears Puzzle Bobble Wii! might be as well. While the Live! subtitle works against it coming to the PlayStation Network, Ron suggests it will be.
The Ship was a great multiplayer game for the PC that used Valve's Source Engine -- a completely different experience to anything else out there. The game had you as one of many on a ship and in each round you are given someone to kill. The catch being they don't know who is out for them and you don't know who is out for you.
You have to kill the other person while not being seen by other players or by the police, and you had to find an array of weapons by searching through drawers and cupboards in the ship.
It really was a fascinating title, which unfortunately does not have much of a following online anymore. Developers at Outerlight have been seen playing Hollywood Murder Party, presumed to be the sequel, and Ron Workman also says it will definitely be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade and might be coming to the PlayStation Network. To add to this thought we've noticed one of Outerlight's developers mention themselves as a Xbox 360 programmer on their Twitter account.

Sleuth? Seriously, finding listings for games on Partnernet or trolling Parternet leaderboards and then looking at other people's recently played games to find unannounced titles isn't very sleuth-like. It's actually pretty clever. Maybe an abuse of Microsoft's hardware/services. Definitely violating terms of an NDA. This stuff is probably true based on how the info was likely obtained. But don't give this guy too much credit. He's not "in the know".

You caught me. P-net now has Wii, PC, and PSN info as well. Bust a move was from a trademark listing, and Murder Party was from a company financials listing and a fuckup on steam (for the PC version)
Keep trying troll.
