When you're a sheep, you don't know much about what's going on around you. Grass, check. Water, check. 1950's-looking UFO... run!

That's essentially the premise for Flock, an upcoming PSN puzzler from UK studio Proper Games being published by Capcom. In its 50-plus levels, Flock places you in control a flying saucer and sets you off to capture sheep, pigs, chickens and more in a vibrant 3D environment.

The game will feature a map editor (the same one the designers used to create the levels, think LittleBigPlanet), two player cooperative play and more. Future downloadable maps and animals haven't been ruled out either. We'll have more for you on Flock as it happens.

    Its not coming to the ps3 exclusively, its coming to the xbox and pc also. The game can also be playable with up to two players simultaneously. Their using the unreal engine to make the game. Theres a video of how the games works and more info on ign, heres the link:

    forget this game. What I would like to see come to the psn is gta1 that came out on ps1 and 1942. Now if you are wondering what is 1942, its one of the best flying shooting games of all time. its one that you would not stop playing.

    Sounds interesting.  Don't know about this one.  I'll just have to see if it has a demo first.

    psn id: gingo... sounds like a risky game type that could turn out very good or very bad.... i like it, this is how psn games should be, new gametypes that try and be the best they can be

    This may intend to go straight for the younger generations.

    Sounds a lot like a game called, oh I don't know,...SHEEP! That came out a while back on the ps1. Surprised that no one seems to remember that one.
