Ouya gets first exclusive game - a prequel to a title that doesn't yet exist

By now, there's a good chance you've seen a headline or two referencing the Kickstarter-funded, Android-powered TV console Ouya.

Well, despite the console not actually existing yet, this currently conceptual hardware has already bagged its first exclusive: a prequel to location-based survival horror game Human Element.

Developed by ex-Infinity Ward employee Robert Bowling's new studio Robotoki, the game will episodically chart the catastrophic lead-up to the events of Human Element.

Oh, and if you're wondering why you haven't played the original Human Element, it's because the game isn't actually out yet.

In fact, the Ouya-based prequel for Human Element is due to land before the full game, which is currently on track for a 2015 release on mobile devices, PC, and the next generation of consoles.

Needless to say, Bowling is super-psyched about Ouya's potential - a fact demonstrated by his personal $10,000 donation to the project's Kickstarter page.

The Human Element prequel should appear sometime after Ouya's launch, which, according to its pledge delivery listings, is currently estimated at March 2013.
