BAM! Entertainment has released details of some of the titles to be featured at E3 later this week. The lineup consists of a broad range of adventure, stealth and puzzle games spanning all next-generation platforms (what? no love for GBA?!?)


The listing includes the following:

In this single-player action adventure game, gamers take on the role of lovable dog Gromit and attempt to liberate the Zoo from the evil clutches of maniacal penguin, Feathers McGraw. While racing through six massive action-packed levels, with 24 missions and 12 mini-arcade games, players will master loads of special moves from Gromit such as back flips, somersaults and even break-dancing.

That could be fun. The robots in the show were always pretty cool. Who's the developer?

Scene: BAM! Product Planning Meeting
Planner 1: We need some ideas.
Planner 2: Let's do a Metal Gear game.
Planner 1: Good idea.
Planner 2: Yeah. And we'll copy the plot from MGS2, except we won't mention Snake and Metal Gear is now a computer virus.
Planner 1: And that crappy tanker level has to go.
Planner 2: Yeah. Screw Kojima! Our game will be better!
Both together: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ice Nine is loosely based on the Al Pacino/Collin Ferrel movie "The Recruit".

Yeah, Doug Branches was talking to me about that. He said that BAM! wanted to expand the story, so they broke away from the license.

But really, it does sound alot like Raiden's mission in MGS2.
