Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is now available on Steam, Rain Digital Games, GamersGate, and GameStop for about ten dollars. If you’re reading this on a PC, then you probably have access to the internet and I probably should have stopped at Steam.
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken might sound familiar since the title was released in 2011 on the Playstation Network and was named one of the best PSN titles for 2011. It might also look like a terrible, terrible pun, and you’d be right about that too. The gaming industry loves puns. You know why? Because they don’t want to bother hiring actual writers, so they just have a pun machine crank out titles and dialogue for them. The Pun Machine 2000 has been a financial success in the games industry and the movie industry, since it wrote most of the dialogue for the Transformers movies. That Michael Bay fellow can’t be bothered with things like story, dialogue, or characters, so he just fires up the Pun Machine 2000 and places a cardboard cutout of a hot lady in the movie and bam, instant box office success.
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken gives players the chance to experience a co-op, bird-themed adventure, that is filled with violence. And more word play. Guess where the game takes place? Albatropolis. Yeah, there are even more puns, but every time you read bad word play or a pun, a writer dies, and I don’t want more blood on my hands. I’ll just say that the word “fowl” was tossed around a lot. Players fight against a totalitarian penguin as a chicken who is trying to uncover his forgotten past. Because in video games, nobody remembers what the heck happened to them in their past. Even chickens can’t escape the amnesia that runs rampant in this medium. The game has a unique art style, so if you’re into birds, violence, action movie cliches, and cool art you should check it out.
