Resident Evil The Darkside Chronicles exclusive Nintendo Wii video game - Fact sheet

Capcom brings the Resident Evil series back to the Nintendo Wii with the sequel to the highly successful, million-selling title, Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

Unlike the evil enemies you fought against in the previous story, in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, players will fight against the characters' own inner demons. Two of the most popular characters in the series and heroes of the beloved Resident Evil 2, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, will be making their return.


As unconventional heroes, the two start out the game as ordinary individuals who are thrown into terrorizing situations where their own fear is their biggest enemy. Featuring a brand new storyline that will fill in missing pieces of the "Chronicles" series, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles leads players into a horrific world where the lines between good and evil are blurred and the fight begins with your dark side...

The game's on-rail, arcade shooter gamezplay first featured in Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles, has been radically upgraded in Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. One of the major additions is a sub-screen which will allow for weapon configuration and use of recovery items regardless of time progression. A horde of new features including a new system that allows players to modify the difficulty level according to their playing skills will bring accessibility and fun to both the hardcore and casual gamer.

Continuing in the survival horror tradition, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will increase the thrills and chills with an enhanced two-player co-op mode where players will be able to follow their partners on the same screen. Their conversations and interactions have also been improved to create a more intense co-op experience.

A more terrifying experience than ever before, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles combines a shaky and realistic handheld camera experience with an eerie soundtrack and creepy sound effects utilizing state-of-the-art technology.

In development exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles will be available this Winter.

pureLIGHT Video Game Lighting Solution Announced!

pureLIGHT Technologies is pleased to announce that pureLIGHT, advanced lighting solution for gaming engines is now available for sale at Garage Games. For a limited time pureLIGHT can be purchased for $350.00, a $150.00 discount, through the Garage Games store. This high end lighting solution with its intuitive and iterative workflow, real time preview and powerful tools will add that “triple A” touch to any Torque 3D project.

pureLIGHT is a global illumination solution with advanced workflow features making it more attractive than competitive products at a fraction of the cost. Currently, most lighting products employ a "click and hope" approach with no opportunity for the user to view their lighting set up while light maps are being generated. This can lead to hours or even days of final product uncertainty. pureLIGHT offers a real time iterative detailed viewing of light maps as they are generated, thus allowing users to adjust settings while lighting is in progress. Users can employ other powerful features:

pureLIGHT automatically unwraps models with flexible options for the best lighting model for any type of geometry.

pureLIGHT supports popular 3D applications such as Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, XSI, or any program that will export in the Collada standard.
pureLIGHT can produce professional quality results with a minimum amount of experience.

pureLIGHT supports multi-core rendering to make the most of modern hardware.

The quality of lighting produced by pureLIGHT has generated effusive praise.

“Wow! Just had a sneak peek at the pureLIGHT demo myself - absolutely freaking amazing!” – Michael Hall on Garage Games forums.

“I am in awe... never seen such fantastic real-time lighting manipulation… I think not enough people realize how useful pureLIGHT is for creating stunning shadows, at the same time giving the ability to increase performance within their games.” – Andy “Hewster” on Garage Games forums.

pureLIGHT also garnered praise in the Unreal Community when the Hanging Gardens VCTF map by Andrew Czarnietzki and Nathan Rossol for Unreal Tournament 3 made it into the finals of the “Make Something Unreal” contest.

pureLIGHT puts the power of superior global illumination in the hands of any 3D artist. Stunning results can be generated by first time users and more experienced users can dig deeper into advanced settings to create any lighting scenario they can imagine.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Video Game to be released this Friday - with video

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, BATMAN finds himself trapped inside the confines of Gotham’s psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, ARKHAM ASYLUM. THE JOKER has set a trap for the DARK KNIGHT and has conspired with the deranged inmates to eliminate Batman once and for all. Adding to the authenticity of the game are veteran animated Batman voice talents Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, who reprise their roles as The Joker and Batman respectively.



“This has been an immense collaborative effort and we’re extremely proud of Batman: Arkham Asylum,” said Lee Singleton, General Manager, Eidos Game Studios. “From the reactions we have already received, we truly believe it will not only stand out as one of the games of the year but establish itself as one of those rare action adventure games you simply cannot forget.”

Interactive Entertainment. “We are extremely proud of Batman: Arkham Asylum and consider it critical in developing and growing our key franchises.”

“The team at Rocksteady has poured an immense amount of love and effort into developing a game that Batman fans and gamers will enjoy,” said Sefton Hill, Game Director at Rocksteady Studios. “We’re very proud of Batman: Arkham Asylum. We are excited about the incredible response from the press and even more excited that everyone will now finally get their chance to play the game.”

Batman: Arkham Asylum features an original story by Paul Dini, Batman author and five-time Emmy Award winner whose credits include Lost season one and Batman: The Animated Series. Gamers will move in the shadows, instill fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains, including Harley Quinn, Bane, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow, who have taken over the asylum.

Owners of the PlayStation 3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum will be able to take control of The Joker in eight Challenge Maps as he battles wave after wave of enemy do-gooders. The Joker Challenge Maps will be available from launch as free downloadable content through the PlayStation Network. In addition, the PlayStation 3 version of the game unlocks the Batman: Arkham Asylum Batcave Outpost in PlayStation Home, an exclusive personal space available to those who purchase the game for PlayStation 3. The Batcave Outpost comes complete with the Batmobile, Batwing, and tons of other great features, allowing fans to call the Batcave their own home within Home.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is rated “BBFC 15” and available for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION3 for the suggested retail price of £49.99. It will also be available for Games for Windows at retail outlets for the suggested retail price of £34.99 on September 18, 2009.

Dungeon Party PC video game Welcomes Its First New Class!

Cyanide, the Paris-based video game development studio, announce the addition of a brand-new class for Dungeon Party, its madcap and fast moving, dungeon crawling free-to-play. The Bard joins the hilarious trio composed of the Wizard, the Thief and the Executioner and, just like his companions, he will break heroic fantasy codes by playing neither harp nor lute, but rock ’n’ roll.

The Bard brings new gamezplay mechanics to Dungeon Party as well as new possibilities for 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 games, with both an attacking and defensive support role. Using his instruments and vocal ‘talents’ he boosts team-mates while preventing enemies from casting spells, using actions or moving normally. When he sings, flashy 3D effects are displayed, matching his rock ’n’ roll behavior.

Polyphony Solo is one example of the spells available to the Bard class : Polyphony was popular in Europe during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance and the Bard is determined to resurrect it as a musical genre. Unfortunately, he sings alone! The result is a musical massacre, but it does have the effect of upsetting his enemies whose chance of making a fumble increases for a few seconds.

The Bard character is available at the Dungeon Party item shop. More information is available on the official Dungeon Party website at www.dungeon-party.com
