Seeing the world through a three-inch high mushroom's "eyes" is definitely a unique way of viewing it in Gamecock Media Group's upcoming action-adventure platformer, Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars. Ryan Mattson, a designer for the game, talks about the early development stages for Mushroom Men.

A little bit of the story is finally revealed as he tells how two groups of sentient mushrooms, the edible and poisonous mushrooms, are at war with one another. The world of Mushroom Men builds itself from a unique view of how the creatures create strange and new weapons and equipment from various human artifacts through the use of the "scav system." I'm sure nobody can imagine a small mushroom trying to bludgeon a pill bug to death with a stick, a bit of string, with a metal nut attached on the end.

The game will be released for both the Nintendo Wii and the DS. The DS version will be a prequel of sorts compared to the Wii, however both are complete games in themselves and will still be an enjoyable experience either way. The game is slated to be released in the fall of 2008.
