Considering how creepy creatures are shaping up to be in Red Fly Studios and Sierra Entertainment's Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, DS, PC), we strongly advise keeping that phone ready to drop a line.

Get an idea of how the monsters look by heading over to the full article.

We recently reported to you that the legendary Ghostbusters film and cartoon franchise is on the comeback trail with an upcoming video game and movie due out next year. Sierra Entertainment has been chosen to oversee the Ghostbusters game publishing activities with Terminal Reality handling the development for the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and PC versions of the project.

The game Mushroom Men: The Spore War for the Xbox 360, PSP, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, and the Wii is interesting to say the least. Developed by Red Fly Studios and produced by Gamecock media group, few details have been made known about the game aside from the storyline and a few tidbits.

After the passing of a comet, the fungi have been acting differently. Among the now sentient mushrooms, factions have formed, and war is raging between them.

You will play a brave Bolete Mushroom Man who has the power to transform common household items and trash into weapons of mass destruction. So far three classes have been revealed: the scout, the sage, and the heavy. No additional details have been revealed about the game.

Slated to be released Q2 of 2008, the jury is still out on this game. Check out the video and see if it catches your interest.

Red Fly Studio is a dev group made up of incredibly artistic individuals, coming from projects like BloodRayne, SSX3, and Star Wars Galaxies. They've teamed up with Gamecock and created a game about fungi.

... Yup, that's our first reaction, too. Well, Mushroom Men is about the world of fungi. It will take players to the miniature world of the Mushroom Men, about three inches high. Players will take the role of a Bolete Mushroom Man, wielding household trinkets and trash into formidable weapons to fight in the spore factions. Little did we know that a war was raging - just under our noses. Or rather under roots and the general undergrowth.

Both Red Fly and Gamecock are enthusiastic about the game. Mike Wilson, CEO and head of marketing at Gamecock says, "Mushroom Men’s amazing art and one-of-kind design show what a studio can produce when not hindered by a sequel or a lame license." They expect to have the game out on a handheld and next gen platform by next year. For the meantime, you can check out this teaser video about warring fungi.

It's not that easy to create a game, think of how hard it is to get somebody to publish it. Not everybody would take the risk to publish a game from an unknown developer. A newly formed independent publisher called Gamecock Media Group, from the founders of Gathering of Developers (GoD), have these small devs in mind. Gamespot was able to score an interview with Harry Miller, co-founder of GoD and Gamecock along with Michael Wilson.

According to Miller, they formed the new company under the same principles as the old one (GoD was acquired by Take-Two Interactive). They will focus on fresh ideas and indie devs. With GoD, they were newbies to the industry and enticed developers by offering them stock. Now, Miller says they "hope to be a little smarter and do a better job." They are aiming to be pro-developer in terms of letting the game engineers keep their IP (intellectual property), when other publishers open options to either acquire the company or the IP. According to Miller, in all their deals, the devs get to keep all their IP. They plan to have them keep the IPs to keep the games stay the same.

About the name, Miller explains that it just means that they want to take the backseat when publishing games. He added, that they "do advertising and promotions, but it's their [developers] name in the highlight and we're in the background. And that's how it should be. So our name is silly because it doesn't really matter."

Gamecock is "well funded" and most of the projects are funded by the founders themselves. They aren't film financing anymore, since movies mostly have good solid release dates. Distribution-wise, they are confident that they could get their games on the shelves.

They have already announced their line up for this year: Fury by Auran, Insecticides by Crackpot Entertainment, Mushroom Men by Red Fly Studios, Hail to the Chimp by Wideload Games, and Hero by Firefly Studios.

As pervy as this may sound to some, the truth is, we're really not being silly here. We're going to try to do our best to type this down despite some of us here being worried that we may get complaints related to political correctness.

Wideload Games, has recently announced that they picked Gamecock Media Group to publish their next title Hail to the Chimp, which is a self-proclaimed impossible-to-classify party game based on politics in the animal kingdom. The game is set to be released in spring 2008 for next gen consoles.
