Cletus Clay
Based on an original concept by acclaimed animator Anthony Flack, Cletus Clay is a fast paced old-school run'n'gun with eye catching visuals and a seriously irreverent attitude. Playing as the eponymous Cletus, a bad-tempered, wise-cracking, gun-totin' hick, you take on a bunch of uninvited alien visitors who have had the temerity to trespass through your farmland on their way to conquering the Earth. Cue flying saucers, ray guns, seemingly endless reinforcements, giant robots and motherships galore; but nothing is a match for an angry redneck and his pitchfork!
-The whole game is made out of clay and presented in HD: you can even see the thumb prints on the models
-Two player cooperative gameplay: a second player can join in as Cletus’ brother Emmett so the dynamic duo can beat up the marauding alien invaders as a team
-A multitude of mini-games and bonus stages, including: blasting alien saucers out of the sky with a mounted cannon, rescuing sheep from a flooding valley, frantic egg gathering from chicken coops, exploring caves for hidden treasure and hunting down fleeing aliens in a hijacked flying saucer
-Cletus has access to an impressive arsenal of weapons to lay down the pain, including: pitchforks, shotguns, dynamite, mini-guns, flame throwers, grenade launchers and alien ray guns. But, given half a chance, he's just as likely to make use of a sturdy plank, a hay bale or even a pig
"The world of Cletus Clay is a fusion of traditional model making, stop-motion animation and modern digital technology. Virtually every object in the game has been modeled, photographed and animated using similar techniques to those used on productions such as Wallace and Gromit (Aardman Studios)."
Although the animation technique is old-school, that doesn't mean the look will suffer. According to the developers,Cletus Clay will run in HD and will be so detailed "you can even see the thumb prints on the models."
The story follows the adventures of Cletus, "a bad-tempered, wise-cracking, gun-totin' hick," as he attempts to fend off an alien invasion of his precious farmland. In a news release announcing the game, Tuna Tech promises 12 levels, a collection of mini-games and two-player co-op.

Cletus Clay is coming to XBLA and to the PC in 2009.
I just found out about this game because it was nominated for best visuals in the Independent Games Festiva (http://www.igf.com). I think it looks really great and will definitely be picking it up when it's released. Old school side scrolling brawler in claymation.
Awesome.
