In the immortal words of M. Bison, "YES!". The cult classic Earth Defense Force 2017 is getting a sequel, %26ldquo;Insect Armageddon%26rdquo;, and this time it%26rsquo;ll be showing up on PS3 as well. Expect tons of guns, tons of bugs and the closest thing you'll get to pretending you're playing a Starship Troopers video game.Unless you're playing, you know, the Starship Troopers video game.

Insect Armageddon's press release mentions a new six-player Survival mode, online Campaign co-op support for up to three players,150 weapons, and four upgradeable armor sets. While we%26rsquo;ve only got one screen shot and box art to go off of, but things are looking good. Jetpacks? Yes please. If the box art isn%26rsquo;t just pulling our leg it looks like there might be aerial combat with flying insects this time around, as opposed to just circle strafing on the ground while blasting into the air as before. No word yet on whether or not Insect Armageddon will follow in its predecessor's budget title footsteps, butwe'd gladly pay full priceif it's even half as fun as the first.
Earth Defense Force Insect Armageddon is scheduled to arrive in Spring 2011 for Xbox360 and PS3.
