I'm beginning to think Gamecock should just quit the gaming business and make toys. Toycock? Figurecock? Yeah, doesn't quite have the same ring to it I guess. At least when you pre-order Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars at Gamestop you can pretend that Gamecock has heeded their true calling when the screechy voiced clerk deposits a sweat-damp statuette of "Pax" into your hand. The figure is accompanied by a pack of trading cards for...trading I guess, though last I checked the Mushroom Men trading card craze never really took off.

This is great for Wii owners and all, but I'm still tapping my foot impatiently waiting for Gamecock to announce some Insecticide figures. Come on guys, anthropomorphized bugs designed in a Doublefine Studios style? You couldn't ask for a better toy template.

I'm still tapping my foot impatiently waiting for Gamecock to, y'know, make a good game.

my purchase of this game hinges solely upon the inclusion of a mushroom stamp attack.
