Dark Void Sci-Fi Action Adventure video game - Fact Sheet

Dark Void Fact Sheet

Genre: Sci-Fi Action-Adventure
Platform: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC
Developer: Capcom Entertainment

Dark Void is a new sci-fi action-adventure game that combines an adrenaline-fuelled blend of aerial and on-foot combat set in a parallel universe called "The Void". Players will take on the role of Will; a pilot who while on a routine air cargo flight crashes in the Bermuda triangle leading him to be trapped in the Void. Will soon finds himself swept into a desperate struggle for survival at the head of a group called The Survivors. Trapped in the Void, these resistance fighters are battling to hold off a mysterious alien race that plans to threaten Earth.

Dark Void's unique combination of in-air and on-ground combat creates a thrilling new gameplay dynamic to the third-person shooter experience. Dark Void's unique vertical combat system allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and take out enemies from above and below, bringing a real sense of vulnerability and intensity to the player.

Defying gravity in vertical combat is only half the battle as, Will's endeavours are rewarded with upgrades to his rocket pack allowing fierce in-air combat as gamers fly through the Void at terrifying speeds shooting down anything that gets in their path. Blasting away at massive bosses has never been this much fun as Dark Void offers a unique grip system made up of a variety of grip-based mini-games including skyjacking UFOs mid-flight.

Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the WiiRemote

Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen.

This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space.

My Baby Boy and Girl video games comes to Nintendo DS

International Best Seller Lets Users Love and Care for a Real Baby!

My Baby Boy and My Baby Girl for Nintendo DS this fall. Developed by Nobilis, My Baby is the first real baby life sim. Upon its release last month in Europe, the game raced to the top of the DS charts in France and held top ten positions in many other territories.

My Baby is a game that simulates life for baby care with as much affection and tenderness as a real parent. Watch them grow, change form and develop from 0 to 14 months by using all the functionalities of your portable console (breath, voice, stylus, etc.). A pediatrician and a pediatric nurse will come to your aid and review the elementary rules to keeping the baby calm, eating, going to sleep and having nice dreams. The on-screen infants will evolve during the game when your baby grows physically and psychologically, giving players a charming and rewarding experience.

“We pride ourselves on both the quality of a game as well as its level of innovation,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “With the My Baby titles, we can bring a truly memorable game to a very wide and diverse audience. These titles have an incredible level of interaction within them and we’re very excited to watch as people fall in love with their babies.”
