Snapshot: Derrick the Deathfin (PS3)
There are so many games out there we couldn't possibly review them all. Welcome to Snapshot, where we highlight games that might fall outside our usual coverage but are still something we think you should know about. An evil, or simply negligent, oil company pollutes the ocean a young shark lives in, and then carelessly kills his parents. The shark swears revenge and then goes on a rampage, traveling the world's oceans to personally destroy every piece of machinery the company owns, virtually emptying the waters of fish to keep himself alive along the way.In most media, including other games, this would be the setup for a grim, violent story. But Derrick the Deathfin somehow takes the murderous revenge story with environmental themes ... and makes it adorable.%Gallery-147232%

Derrick the Deathfin is an angsty teenage shark who suffers tragedy when his parents are tinned as sharkfin tuna. In response, Derrick begins a worldwide campaign of revenge, destroying every manmade structure he can find. Because he's a shark, he must continually eat fish along his path, and he must keep moving at all times to stay alive.He, like everything else in his world, is made of paper.That's the basic setup of Derrick the Deathfin, a new downloadable game coming to PS3 this summer. It's the work of developer Different Tuna, a collaboration between Lilt Line developer Different Cloth, Cletus Clay's Tuna, and artist Ronzo -- supported financially by Channel 4 and Screen Yorkshire.%Gallery-147232%
