News: Big money! Big prizes! I love it!

For those of you who have been waiting for a sequel to Smash TV, your wait continues. But for those of you who want a game heavily inspired by Smash TV, then Sony has you covered as they announced Cash Money Chaos for the PSP.

Cash Money Chaos takes the game show theme of Smash TV and plops players down into the broadcasting studio of a demented alien race. This alien race has watched too much Earth TV and have decided to recreate (or so they think) a 70s game show. And what does their show entail? Why, running around and grabbing as much cash, prizes and weaponry they can while killing "alien chickens, mutant hillbillies, homicidal clowns and the enormous bearded lady and her cadre of deadly unicyclists." Sign me up.

УCash Money Chaos is an action-packed, arcade-style shooter that explodes a new genre onto the PSP,Ф said Chris Sturr, Senior Global Brand Manager, Sony Online Entertainment. УCMC will have players scratching their heads, asking themselves if they really just saw Ц and shot Ц what they think they did. Of course, taking your hands off the controls to scratch your head may be detrimental to surviving the next wave of killer gorillas or demented clowns.Ф

Finally, we have the first five screens of the chaos.
