The PlayStation Network's roll of big-whiz exclusives just got one game longer. Bucharest developer Zen Studios has unveiled Punisher: No Mercy over at the PlayStation blog, an arena-based online first-person shooter inspired by Marvel's gritty comicbook anti-hero.

There are, says Zen managing director Zsolt Kigyossy, three things you need to know about this game. For starters, it's "the first ever first-person shooter developed exclusively for PSN." Secondly, it runs on the stupidly popular Unreal Engine 3 - or as Kigyossy prefers to describe it, "the ultimate FPS engine." Last of all, it rips a whole bunch of characters direct from the Punisher comics, including Jigsaw, Bushwacker, Barracuda and Silver Sable.

You can expect more info at the official site soon.

    Unreal Engine, huh?  UT3 had keyboard/mouse support.  Will this?  And why don't more games support it, dang.

    I believe the cry engine 2 used for Crysis (if i am not mistaken...) is the best engine for fps right now. I will like to see this game.

    The UT ENGINE will suck on the PS3 thats why its a PSN title. Till i see it this game will sux its to many games made off ut engine i dont see nothing eye popping being made. You want to impress me then use RESISTANCE ENGINE to make a PSN FPS game. The UT ENGINE will suck on the PS3 thats why its a PSN title.

    psn id: gingo.... looking forward to what is hopefully a good psn game and to everyone complaining about the fable 2 adverts.... does it really matter if its a 360 exclusive on a ps syt if they are willing to pay the money you put up the adverts
