Remember the Amiga classic Putty? Well, the lovable blue blob is set to bounce back to our screens - notably the PS3, iPhone, iPad and PSP Go. It was a firm favourite at Megabits back in the day and should be a nice addition to the growing list of retro revivals.

System 3 has lovingly revived the little fella and Putty Squad is due for release sometime towards the end of the year.

He may not be much to look at but beneath his blue veneer, our hero is able to bounce and bend around each level as he avoids enemies in search of his lost friends. Aw.

Just like the old days, he can stretch, flatten, inflate, absorb and attack with punches, electrifying prods and darts(!). From the looks of things, the cartoony qualities that helped to make the game so much fun all those years ago have been maintained. Hopefully, it will be thoroughly absorb-ing too...
