It took me all summer to build that treehouse…

Codemasters have announced Bodycount, a new action game featuring Ice-T and the hardcore metal posse he formed in the early 90s. Actually, that’s not the case at all, but someone needs to make that game immediately. In its place, we have the latest first person shooter from Stuart Black, who you may know as the co-creator of Black, the eponymous 2006 shooter from EA and Criterion Games.

Bodycount is set to deliver what the publisher describes as “an orgy of bullets and destruction”, which actually sounds a little unpleasant, doesn’t it? Details of the story remain scarce, but we do know that you’ll be assassinating targets on behalf of a secret organisation. In addition to the single player campaign, Bodycount will also feature cooperative and adversarial multiplayer modes. There will be significant emphasis on destructible cover.

It’s certainly one to watch, but if Black was truly dedicated to the project, he’d change his name to Stuart Bodycount.

The game is due for release on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in early 2011.
