What's In A Name: Jetpack Junkies = Rocket Riot

Buried amongst many other games in THQ's massive XBLA press release was the game Rocket Riot, developed by Codeglue. What you may not have noticed is that this game isn't as much of a surprise as it might seem.

About 9 months ago, we ran a story about a game called Jetpack Junkies, developed by (you guessed it) Codeglue. Back then, we were looking forward to a "turn based multiplayer platform shooter with a lot of guaranteed action." And now, we're looking at "an action-packed side-view shooter featuring a bazooka-wielding jetpack soldier." Confirmation came in to inform us that Jetpack Junkies did indeed morph into Rocket Riot.

Same game, different name. Glad that's settled.

That sounds about right as
That sounds about right as the game seemed a bit too similiar to Worms HD before and was possibly named to similiar to Jetpac Refueled.
