GAME Customers Receive Exclusive Advance Play Of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy

Sierra Entertainment UK and GAME Stores today announced that British customers pre ordering the Xbox 360 version of the upcoming action game, The Bourne Conspiracy will receive an exclusive three level demo disc.

The promotion taking place in stores across the UK precedes the release of the full game on the 27th June for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. GAME customers will be able to go ‘hands on’ with the thrilling and fast-paced action game in advance of the demos general release on Xbox Live on 19th May

Speaking about the great opportunity this presents for action and movie fans alike, Ian Hollamby, Senior Product Manager for 360 at GAME said “We are delighted to be able to offer a world exclusive playable demo to our customers for what is a fantastic title and would like to thank Vivendi for this great opportunity.”

The Bourne Conspiracy gives players the opportunity to be Jason Bourne. Bringing Bourne's signature combat style to life by sharply blending a seamless mix of hand-to-hand fighting, gunplay and dramatic escapes.

The demo itself is a tantalising taster of the gripping gaming experience with extracts from three heart-stopping, action-packed levels. First, the infamous escape from the Paris Embassy - focussing on Bourne’s hand-to-hand fighting skills and ability to escape the inescapable whilst evading the clutches of the Gendarmerie. Second, a blockbuster style shoot out with Divandelen - one of the many big bosses featured in the full game, and finally, the now legendary high speed pursuit with Jason’s unwitting accomplice Marie, across Paris in the Mini Cooper.

Through close partnership with Ludlum Entertainment, and collaboration on story and character development with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, The Bourne Conspiracy is an intense interactive addition to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels. The game delivers an original story uncovering Jason Bourne's past and the conspiracy shrouding his origins, plunging players into the role of Bourne as both trained assassin and marked government agent. Core to the experience is Bourne's definition as a perfect weapon with heightened combat instinct, where players use Bourne's characteristic capabilities to recognise threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use Bourne's surrounding environment to overcome deadly situations.

Win £3000 Giveaway (game currency) in Two Clan-based Competitions

Waygate Publishing Limited today announced the launch of two major competitions for its MMORPG title, Legend: Legacy of the Dragons, with prizes adding up to over £3000 worth of in-game currency. ‘New Clan on the Block’ is for players from Waygate Publishing’s servers only, whilst ‘The Next Generation’ is designed to develop partnership and teamwork between players from other servers and players from Waygate’s own servers.

Waygate Publishing is currently working on the next game content update, which will include three new reputations, a host of new quests, characters and items related to the new reputations and a new ‘instance’ (where players can find rare game items) for higher level players. It has also been conducting a complete review of translations from the early stages of localisation to increase the overall coherence and style of the game.

New Clan on the Block
The first competition is for clans whose members are native to Waygate Publishing’s servers and have not come to the game having originally played the Russian version. If any such clan can master the world of Faeo, in which Legend: Legacy of the Dragons is set, and get three members into the top 10 leader board, featured on the game’s home page, it will be generously rewarded with 1500 game diamonds, each worth $1.25. The diamonds can be converted into in-game currency. On top of that, the novices who make the top 10 will receive mystery prizes!

The Next Generation
To encourage the training of a new generation of Legend players, the second competition is designed to harness the knowledge and experience of those who have migrated to Waygate Publishing’s servers from the Russian version’s servers. These veteran players have the chance to win themselves 500 diamonds if they set up a new clan of novice players and lead two of them into the top of their race, be it the intelligent Humans or the fiery Magmars. The novices-turned-mighty warriors will also receive 250 diamonds each, whilst the remaining members of the clan, who just miss the cut, will be rewarded with 100 diamonds for their efforts.
