PSP Preview - 'Dead Head Fred'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Pre - E3 2007

Publisher: D3Publisher of America
Developer: Vicious Cycle
Release Date: August 21, 2007
After a promising showing at last year’s E3 event, D3Publisher of America’s Dead Head Fred seemingly vanished from the scene.

Army of Two's title serves a pair of purposes, as it not only pokes fun at the United States Army's "Army of One" slogan, but it also delivers the core concept behind the game.
