Infected PSP
Planet Moon Studios announce a new run-and-gun shooter for the PSP.
Posted by John Grothier - - UK and Europe

Infected is a new game poised to take over the PSP. Developed by Planet Moon Studios, Infected is a new run-and-gun shooter that allows players' avatars to invade opponents' PSP systems via multiplayer victories. This title is one of three releases expected for Sony's new console between Planet Moon and publishers Majesco, and Infected is due to ship this autumn.

"Infected will certainly be 'socially communicable' in that victorious players can wirelessly invade their opponents PSP systems and spread their unique virus literally around the world," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing for Majesco. "This type of compelling game play is further enhanced by allowing players to check their ranking against other players, as well as see just how far their virus has spread."

"Infected is an original game custom designed to take full advantage of the power of the PSP system," said Bob Stevenson, CEO of Planet Moon Studios. "We look forward to working with Majesco to provide handheld gamers with an entirely new game play experience that's full of new ideas and happens to be one hell of a good time."

The games story revolves around Christmas time in New York City, and a strange virus has appeared turning seemingly normal citizens into the insane, violent Infected. Rookie Officer Stevens is one of the first victims but unlike others, is strangely immune. The mysterious Dr. Schaeffer discovers that Stevens' blood can be used to destroy the otherwise invincible Infected, and creates a special 'viral gun' that fills shells with blood from Stevens' arm and blasts them straight into the Infected, causing them to violently explode.

Featuring an engrossing single-player campaign with lavishly gory details, Infected unlocks the world of Wi-Fi via exciting multiplayer modes. To participate in multiplayer combat, players create their own character or avatar. Those who are victorious in combat can 'infect' the loser's PSP system with their avatar and gain ranking points. Avatars can be defeated through a variety of methods, as well as passed along from player to player thus creating a viral chain letter of attack.

More on the PSP as we get it.
