Indie game destroys New York

Daftly named Indie publisher Octopus Motor has released some new screens of its promising Rampage-style monster game, They Came From Hollywood. Due out later this year, the title offers 12 B-movie creatures including Giant Ant, Newtrino the Atomic Newt and the 52ft woman, any of which can be used to destroy seven highly detailed US cities (filled with screaming humans and panicking military forces, naturally). Combining real-time strategy and sim elements, the game promises to provide an interesting indie alternative to THQ's more mainstream, Destory All Humans. It also boasts an arcade mode where you can control the city-stomping action via a dance mat - perhaps while 'The Monster Mash' plays in the background.

Another intriguing and polished development from the indie scene then. And the website's quite funny in its own right.
