Hunter:
The Reckoning, an exclusive title for the Xbox
video game system by Microsoft, is a thrilling
action-adventure game based on the mysterious
characters and spine-tingling fiction found in
the popular role- playing game Hunter: The Reckoning
and the mystifying World of Darkness universe
in which it is based. Developed by High Voltage
Software, Inc. for Digital Mayhem using the AtlasTech
Game Engine licensed technology, Hunter is based
on the popular license from White Wolf Publishing,
Inc. Hunter: The Reckoning has just been approved
for manufacturing and is scheduled to ship the
week of May 20.
Icewind
Dale II for the PC, in development internally
at Black Isle Studios, offers a classic dungeon
crawl experience, using the new Third Edition
Dungeons & Dragons license from Wizards of the
Coast. Based in part on the series of books by
New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore,
Icewind Dale II will amaze players with new monsters,
spells, and areas to explore within the popular
FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign setting.
Run Like
Hell brings a whole new breed of action-terror
game to the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment
system. RLH is a groundbreaking, hair- raising
experience that takes players to an ordinary mining
space station, the Forsetti, which soon becomes
anything but ordinary after a terrifying species
of aliens invade the outpost. Your goal is to
eliminate as many of the nasty creatures as you
can, grab your loved ones and get the hell off
the station! The game features incredible graphics,
fast-paced console action plus the voice talents
of Lance Henriksen, Kate Mulgrew and Michael Ironside.
From
the creator and lead designer of Lara Croft and
the original Tomb Raider comes a new breed of
hero in Galleon: Islands of Mystery, an exciting
action-adventure game developed for release on
the Xbox video game system. Set across six unique
islands, this epic adventure takes Rhama Sabrier,
the dashing captain of the Endeavor, from the
bustling port of Akbah to islands populated with
giant monsters, evil slave lords and, of course,
damsels in distress in a story of intrigue, suspense,
romance, obsession and revenge.
Baldur's
Gate: Dark Alliance for the Xbox features a distinctive
blend of action and adventure set in the most
popular Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting: The
FORGOTTEN REALMS franchise owned by Wizards of
the Coast Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro Inc., and
licensed to Infogrames Interactive, Inc. Faithful
adaptation of the Third Edition Dungeons & Dragons
rules set, customizable player characters and
character development allow for an engrossing
gameplay experience new to Xbox gamers.
