Supermarket Shriek

Supermarket Shriek hands-on — maneuvering a shopping cart using your voice

Supermarket Shriek is a ridiculously amusing two-player co-op game where you maneuver a shopping cart through treacherous supermarket tracks by using your voice.

I’m pretty sure you won’t see any other game like it at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the big game trade show in Los Angeles this week. I saw the title at a preview event and had a chance to play it. On paper, I’m sure that no one would ever greenlight this game. But it’s actually a hoot to play.
