Chicken Lickin' Hordin'...

Today Strawdog studios and P2 Games announced the follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed iOS game Happy Mrs Chicken. The cleverly titled Happy Mrs Chicken II (HMCII) sees the game expand onto multiple platforms including XBLA, PSN, 9 ¾ and Steam, and for the first time ever will include a multiplayer element.

Pippa Pegg, P2 Games’ lead developer told Sarcastic Gamer:

“The most exciting thing about HMCII is we’ve integrated “horde mode” into the multiplayer experience. We think people will find that fresh and exciting. It’s something that hasn’t been done in any chicken-centric video game to date.”

Horde mode multiplayer, made popular by games such as Lego Harry Potter, the Just Dance series and some smaller indie titles such as Gears of War, sees up to 8 players team together to fight wave after wave of increasingly harder enemies.

“The twist in Happy Mrs Chicken II is that you fight wave after wave of increasingly harder enemies as a team of up to 8 players.”

Happy Mrs Chicken II hits the virtual shelves on 29^th of February 2012.

They say when it rains it pours. So I wasn’t entirely surprised that just a day after my divorce (thanks to The Sims Social) I found myself incarcerated (that means in jail) for child abuse.  There was something funky in my tea leaves or my karmic path or some other crazy crap that a lady in a trailer claiming to be a gypsy told me.  She said to “avoid all video games” and I just figured she fed that line to everyone that walked into her door.  Now I wish I’d listened. Somehow a friendly game of Fruit Ninja for the Xbox360 Kinect turned into a fiasco that I wish had never happened.  That’s my daughter there in the picture, she’s fine…but man do I have some regrets.  Keep reading, it’s unlike any story you’ve ever heard.
