QJ Previews: Dead Head Fred |

Poor, poor Fred. How would you feel if you woke up one day to find out your office had been turned upside down, you'd been brutally murdered, brought back from the dead, couldn't remember much at all and to top it all off someone stole your head! Well I can't speak for you, but Fred's mad... very mad, and he wants revenge.
Dead Head Fred's a twisted tale of murder and revenge with a healthy dose of good old fashioned 1940's film noir thrown in for good measure. Savagely murdered and resurrected in a bizarre scientific experiment, our hero Fred wakes to find himself tied to a chair in his office with no memory, a splitting headache and worst of all, his head's missing. Oh he's got a head, but it ain't his, and it sure ain't pretty. What's stuck atop his neck is little more than a jar containing his brain and eyeballs floating in a green sloshy liquid, and a pair of pipes leading from his voice box. I've had better days myself.


The developers, "Vicious Cycle" promise open ended gameplay with the ability to solve puzzles creatively, explore interactive, visually stunning wide open environments and a variety of attacks dependent on whatever head you might have on at the time. Fred's capable of collecting up to nine different heads for maximum cranial crushing power, four of which are "core" heads and can be called upon and used at any time, the remaining five can be exhausted require you to top up every now and again.
If all that's not enough you can also expect a neat bundle of side missions, bonus content and mini-games including Consensual Sax, (rrroowrr!) The Gran Ratismo, Dirty Pool, Head 2 Head Pinball, and The Feather Doom. Dead Head Fred's due out in the first quarter of 2007, mark your calendars folks!

I hate zombies
interesting! Looks similar to the "destroy all humans" type thing... could be good!
wow,,,,looks bloody awesome..lol
this game looks tits
Looks like a mix of Stubbs the Zombie, Death jr, and Soul Reaver. Should be pretty interesting.
Remember that movie "Drop Dead Fred"? What a crazy mofo...
I agree with #6, even tho all those games were a bit disappointing and short, they were fun, this game might be pretty good, or a total flop, lets just wait and see
looks... different, hey maybe has something
Somehow I have a feeling that this is going to be a crappy overhyped game like Death Jr... I don't know...
Hasn't anybody noticed these are some of the coolest character designs in any game these days? I really hope this game turns out to be cool. Would love to see an uber-detailed PS3 version of it.
Thie game looks cool, like some other guy said, it's like destroy all humans and I think it has a stubbs the zombie twist ;)
I'm very interested
it is psychodelic climate =] i like that kind of games.
Game looks nice also.
is in Abe's Oddysee/Exodus (havent play the other one without Abe so I dont know nothing about them). Hope these will be released to PSemu.
i have a feeling ittll be like infected
