A few years ago developer Blue Tongue Entertainment had this brilliant idea. If everyone can please take a moment to open their minds to the color of the de Blob 2 world, we can go on one of the best cross-platform adventures imagined. Bring your kids, or whoever likes good, simple fun.

People don't typically think of the de Blob series has the pinnacle of high definition and home theater entertainment - after all - the first game was a low-def Wii only affair.  But all that has changed with de Blob 2 which will hit the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as the Nintendo Wii when it launches next week.  Further, the game will actually support 3D visuals on the PS3 and 360 making it an unlikely candidate to show off your swanky new 3D HDTV.

Wow, what a week.  It's only Tuesday and the gaming news has been full of zombies ascending, bullets storming, and maps, er...packing.  Sometimes a little de Blob 2 humor is needed to bring some levity to our daily grind.  In this new trailer, we see just how accomplished the Graydian Employment Program has become. Do you see that, Career Builder?  Blue just walks in, pushes a button, and wham, he's an astronaut. Take that, NASA.  De Blob 2 has a February 22nd release date.  It is available on the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, and will support two player local co-op.  

While the first De Blob game offered 4 player co-op in a special mode on the Wii, the new title - aptly named De Blob 2 will offer a two player co-op campaign for families to enjoy together.  The game has also expanded from a Wii only title to a multiplatform game with an Xbox 360 and PS3 version shipping as well when it launches on March 22nd.  THQ describes the new co-op mode a bit like Super Mario Galaxy, your co-op partner takes the role of Pinky and helps De Blob paint the town with color as well as destroying enemies and collecting power ups.
