WTF wins the naming contest

​By Ryan Winslett

Not to be confused with WTF: Work Time Fun, the somewhat entertaining PSP mini-game title, Mediatonic's WTF!? is actually a PSP Minis title (see the difference?), set to launch Oct. 12.

Late to the text-joke party, this WTF!? actually stands for "Who's That Flying!?" and sees players taking control of a super powerful and super mysterious hero known only as the "Guardian of Earth."

When Doom Beasts descend upon the planet and begin causing all sorts of mayhem, it's up to GoE to put right what once went wrong. That's actually the tag line for Quantum Leap, but I felt it fit nicely here as well.

Using nothing more than the power of flight and his super "hyper-powered Laser Arm," Guardian must defend Earth's cities from the Doom Beast invasion while simultaneously defending himself against accusations of gross incompetence from the Galactic Council, according to Mediatonic. Personally, I'd use my Laser Arm to solve both of those problems, but that's just me.

Coming from the makers of the excellent Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess and looking to sport the same polish and charm that made that title so enjoyable, gamers should (probably) keep WTF!? on their radar come Oct. 12, when it releases for $5.99 on the PlayStation Network.
