tikgames is launching yet another game on ps3 this week via the playstation network: hamsterball, a self-described, hamster-themed mix of ''''''marble madness and super monkey ball.'''''' as with other games featuring plastic-trapped mammals, hamsterball looks to be a race through suspended mazes, with the goal of achieving faster and faster completion times.

in addition to the requisite single-player campaign, hamsterball also features a two-player split-screen mode and a seven-player ''''''sumo'''''' mode. we're not entirely sure what ''''''sumo'''''' is supposed to mean, but it's true that the ps3 can support up to 7 controllers locally -- so will hamsterball be one of the few games to actually support this feature?

hamsterball will be available for $9.99 on the north american playstation store this thursday, march 25. hamster ball rolls onto psn this week originally appeared on joystiq on mon, 22 mar 2010 11:58:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
