Dragoneer's Aria fires up PSP
Nippon Ichi return with a brand new RPG designed specifically for PSP.
KOEI, today announced the release of Dragoneer’s Aria. Designed from the ground up for the PSP this epic fantasy RPG combines everything that has made top quality traditional RPGs so compelling while adding some clever new ideas to the mix. Developed by renowned Japanese Strategy RPG specialists, Nippon Ichi, in partnership with Hitmaker, Dragoneer’s Aria is set for release on Sony’s PSP across Europe in February 2008.
“When you can combine the talents of some of the world’s most experienced RPG developers, with the man responsible for the awesome character design in Lineage II and the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach then you clearly have something worth getting excited about. Dragoneer’s Aria is shaping up to be the first essential PSP release of 2008. ” said Will Curley, Sales Manager for KOEI Ltd.
About DRAGONEER’S ARIA
The world was at peace thanks to the six elemental dragons of fire, water, thunder, earth, wind, and ice. In this world, dragons control both nature and the climate and they are worshiped by both humans and humanoids as the guardians of the world. Because of their significance, elite knight corps known as dragoons protect the dragons from harm. When a mysterious black dragon suddenly appears and begins destroying the kingdom the dragoons fight back, but are powerless against the black dragon’s fearsome strengths. Now a young knight recruit called Valen must fight together with the brave warriors he meets on his journey to save the guardians of the world.
Dragoneer’s Aria takes the concept of the traditional RPG and gives it a timely new spin with a brand new turn system that enables players to select the order of each character’s attack. This gives players much more control and more of a strategic grasp in battle. Players can even have all 4 characters attack in a row, before the enemy attacks. This new approach to battle allows players to “chain” attacks that can trigger powerful “Chain Skills”. These special attacks get exponentially stronger if “chained” longer.
Forget trudging back and forth across the map and being forced to engage in countless random encounters. Dragoneer’s Aria introduces visual enemies and field skills for a role playing experience where action is at the forefront and there is seamless transition between adventure and battles. Character ability also plays an important role in Dragoneer’s Aria. Depending on who is leading the team on the field, their team ability changes. For instance one character may have the ability to heal as they walk and if that character is set as the leader, then the entire team takes on that ability.
For Dragoneer’s Aria, there is a whole new way to guard enemy attacks. The ordinary guard is replaced by a rhythm based clicking game similar to that of a musical rhythm action title. The player’s success rate in this mini game will determine the amount of damage they receive.
Dragoneer’s Aria is the latest blockbusting RPG from Nippon Ichi in partnership with Hitmaker. It follows in the footsteps of hugely popular titles Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave, La Pucelle: tactics and of course the critically acclaimed Disgaea and its stunning sequel. With a wealth of new ideas to freshen up the whole RPG experience, a tale that begs for just one more go, and a soundtrack that includes music from the legendary JS Bach, Dragoneer’s Aria is already looking like being one of the essential PSP purchases of 2008.

Online Competition To Find Real Diamonds
RealNetworks today launched Diamond Detective, a new mobile phone game based on the massively popular PC puzzle game. The game incorporates a first-for-mobile online diamond hunt, in which players can solve clues to win real diamonds.
The competition will run in Europe from the game's launch in October 2007 until mid-2008. Over €15,000 worth of diamonds are up for grabs by players. Winners will be chosen at the end of each quarter, with three players eventually walking away with a small fortune in gemstones.
As players complete levels within the Diamond Detective mobile game, they are given hints about the locations of the stolen gems. They can then log onto the Diamond Hunt website: www.diamond-hunt.net and use these clues in the competition. Players can even download a demo version of the game from the website, directly to their handset – free of charge.
“This is a step in a new direction,” said Wilhelm Taht, Head of Marketing, Mobile Games EMEA of RealNetworks. “Our research has shown that there is a gap between the value consumers feel they receive compared to the steps they need to take for buying mobile games. By tying the game into an ongoing competition and giving players a reason to return and complete the game, outside the immediate fun factor, we're pushing mobile entertainment into very different territory and providing additional value for the players. They can even try the game for free first to find out if they like it. It's a no-risk deal for players.”
Diamond Detective is published by RealArcade Mobile and is developed by the mobile games studio Mr.Goodliving - the critically acclaimed team behind the hugely successful Playman series and other award-winning mobile games. Diamond Detective offers a new twist on a classic puzzle game in which players must create and remove chains of gemstones from the playing area within a tight time-limit. Success in doing so rewards the player with clues towards the thieves within the game – and the gems in the online diamond hunt.
“Diamond Detective is a fantastic game in its own right,” says Matt Turetzky, vice president, off-the pc games at Real. “It combines simple, pick-up-and-play controls with intuitive game play that can be understood in seconds, but which can keep players engaged for a significant amount of time as they try to create longer, larger and higher scoring chains of gems. We firmly believe that the game's natural appeal, combined with the attraction of the online Diamond Hunt and the chance to win real high value prizes will help Diamond Detective to raise the bar for mobile games.”
Diamond Detective has released this month through a wide range of mobile networks, carriers and retail channels. The online website can be found at www.diamond-hunt.net.
Diamond Detective was created using RealArcade Mobile's proprietary EMERGE technology, ensuring that the game will support the widest possible range of mobile phone handsets and ensuring gamers around the world can play and enjoy it with ease.

SouthPeak's Dreams Come True
Dream Pinball Coming In Q1 2008
SouthPeak Games has announced the first details of Dream Pinball, another title bolstering its rapidly growing 2008 line-up. Dream Pinball will be a cutting-edge pinball simulation for PC, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ making the best use of available technologies to elevate pinball simulations to the next level.
Featuring six distinctive tables, Dream Pinball draws on the latest hardware features to provide visuals that easily surpass previous pinball titles. HDR lighting, motion blur and advanced particle systems generate a remarkable graphical sheen, with selectable cameras providing one fixed and six dynamic action-tracking camera angles. The tables themselves feature a wide range of designs and themes, each one complete with multiple areas, secrets, an array of special effects and spectacular three-way multiball.
Dream Pinball also excels in the gameplay stakes, with real-world physics determining the game’s ball dynamics. In a unique spin, balls can be made from six different materials including marble, oak, ivory and gold - each with their own distinct ballistic properties. With a multiplayer mode allowing up to four players to compete for points and versatile scalability options for owners with more modest PC hardware, Dream Pinball is set to become the definitive pinball simulation when released for PC, Wii and Nintendo DS in February 2008.
Melanie Mroz, executive vice president, SouthPeak Games said “Dream Pinball is a brilliant translation of the ever-popular pastime. Anyone can pick up pinball and when it looks and plays this great, there’s no reason not to.”
