The Xbox gets Whacked!

Presto, the development team behind Myst III: Exile for the PC, has announced that it is currently working on a game named Whacked! for the Xbox. The game features eight unique-looking contestants who are participating in a game show that forces them to fight each other. There will be a few different modes of play in the game. The first is a combat mode in which players have to struggle to gain resources. Another mode throws hordes of giant chickens at the contestants--the only objective is to survive. Players will have 40 different weapons and items--ranging from pitchforks to circus cannons--to use during the competition.

Whacked! is currently scheduled for release this fall.
