Battle Tanks rolling onto PSN this month for $10

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 2nd 2009 at 10:00AM }

Gameloft is ready to bring that most classic of ideas to the PSN: Tanks blowing each other up. The astoundingly generic name for this iteration on the genre is Battle Tanks, which will be available sometime this month for $10. Don't let our tone fool you, we drool like any other red-blooded gamer at the idea of tanks using assorted weaponry to destroy one another.

~~Death Tank, Doom Tank, Panzer Pincher,~~ Battle Tanks will support a co-op mode for the campaign -- don't see the word "online" there -- and comes with 50 "maze and paint ball-like levels." Multiplayer supports up to four players in death match and ... capture the flag? Clearly we missed the part where the name was changed to Chase Tanks. Ooh! Is the flag some sort of super weapon?

Speaking of PSN games already out in Europe, I'm still anxiously waiting for Topatoi. I think I heard that, by the time America finally gets it, Europe will be already be getting the sequel. :/ Oh well, can't complain, because I know it's Europe that always gets screwed on most game release dates.

Pass...

Definitely doesn't sound too exciting and certainly not $10 worth of it.

Suit yourself. Personally, I can't wait!

It looks like someone took the tank game from Wii Play (by far the best game in that pack --super fun) and added a lot more to it.

It looks like it could be fun for a little while, but I'm sorry. I see Gameloft and get kinda turned off. =/ Just seems like silly mobile games they hastily port. Not to mention that I bought Brain Challenge when it was on sale and sometimes I get it perfectly right and quickly, but the D-pad kinda lags.
