If you're in the mood for a platform game that's rife with action, adventure and comedy, then you should definitely check out Derrick the Deathfin for the Playstation Network (PSN).
Created by the Independant game company Different Tuna, Derrick the Deathfin features a very clever art style that involved the actual construction of hundreds of little paper models of aquatic creatures that were then scanned and digitized to create an entire underwater world.
In the game, players take on the role of Derrick, a medium-sized shark-like fish, and take on other sea dwellers like piranha's, sting rays, swordfish and orca wales to progress through the game. In total there are 32 levels in that game that span over four continents, which sounds pretty substantial considering it's a PSN title that costs only $7.99.
Derrick the Deathfin goes on sale on October 9th and will be available exclusively on the Playstation Network.
