Gamecock Promotes Hail to the Chimp in Philly During PA Primary

Gamecock Promotes Hail to the Chimp in Philly During PA Primary

April 24, 2008
Irrepressible Gamecock Media Group CEO Mike Wilson was in Philadelphia on Tuesday as the hoopla surrounding this week's Democratic Pennsylvania primary reached its peak.

Wilson and his crew were on hand to promote the soon-to-be-released Hail to the Chimp. Described as a "Presidential Party Game," Hail to the Chimp was developed by Wideload Games and will be published by Gamecock for Xbox 360 and PS3 on May 27th.

In the pic at left, one of the game's characters is shown with the famed Rocky statue at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

GameCock is a publisher, not a developer so go after the developers. Also, GameCock has only published three games so far and only the DS version of Insecticide has not gotten great reviews. Though they may seem crazy and stupid, they do have good taste when it comes to publishing quality games lie Demetrium and Fury, and they are very supportive of their developers. They are a great independent publisher to have in the gamming community.

Umm, why do we pay attention to Gamecock? Their games are terrible. It seems that they only exist to try and do stupid things to create controversy.

Although GameCock can sometimes be guilty of asshat behavior, I think its time to move on. People learn from their mistakes and now its time to concentrate on the games, not the spectacle that is the publishers.

[...] With apparently little or no warning, several key-members of the RetroStudios staff have left the Austin based dev house… there are currently no updates on whether or not this will lead to the formation of a new studio, however, there are some *rumors* that this is in direct response to the way in which Nintendo has gone about asking employees to relocate. Gamecock Media is promoting Hail to the Chimp during a pres-primary in Philadelphia. Gamecock Media is awesome, they’re funny and silly and occasionally they publish games too! Minusworld is releasing a very funny (and highly satirical) activity and coloring book for GTAIV. Please remember, that this is obviously meant to be ironic with regards to actually ‘hocking violence to the kiddies’… [...]
