NETFLIX COMING TO PLAYSTATION 3 IN NOVEMBER

With Movies Streamed Instantly from Netflix, Blu-ray/DVD Playback and Downloadable Videos via the PlayStation®Network, the PlayStation 3 System Offers The Industry’s Most Comprehensive Options for Watching Movies and TV Shows

FOSTER CITY and LOS GATOS, Calif., October 26, 2009 – Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) and Netflix, Inc. [Nasdaq: NFLX] today announced that they are joining forces to make thousands of movies and TV episodes from Netflix available to be streamed instantly to TVs via the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system. Netflix expects to begin streaming via the PS3 system next month at no additional cost to Netflix members in the United States who have a PS3 system.

Today’s announcement pairs two of the most popular and fastest growing home entertainment brands in the U.S. The PS3 system’s installed base has reached close to 9 million units in the United States, and Netflix recently reported 11.1 million U.S. subscribers as of September 30.

The partnership further solidifies the PS3 system as the most complete home entertainment hub on the market today, enabling consumers to play high-definition games, watch Blu-ray movies, listen to music, view photos, browse the Internet, and download content from PlayStation®Network - from exclusive games to blockbuster movies and popular TV shows. PS3 system owners will soon enjoy an unparalleled experience watching their favorite movies and TV shows streamed instantly from Netflix, downloading from the PlayStation Network or watching Blu-ray/DVD media. The Netflix offering expands on the entertainment experience delivered to PS3 system owners via PlayStation Network.

For only $8.99 a month, Netflix members can instantly watch unlimited movies and TV episodes streamed to their TVs and computers via Netflix ready devices such as the PS3 system and can receive unlimited DVDs delivered quickly to their homes.

“The PlayStation 3 system has always been about more than just gaming, and it will soon be the only platform in the industry to offer consumers such a variety of convenient options for enjoying movies and TV shows,” said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. “Whether you want to watch content on Blu-ray disc and DVD, download it from the PlayStation Network’s video delivery service, or stream videos instantly from Netflix, the PS3 system is the only solution that offers it all.”

“As instantly watching movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix becomes an increasingly popular way to enjoy the Netflix service, our goal is to rapidly expand the devices that stream to our members,” said Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings. “As a leading game console and Blu-ray disc player, bringing Netflix to the PS3 system is a real win for both Netflix members and PS3 system owners.”

Initially, watching movies instantly streamed from Netflix via the PS3 system will be enabled by a free, instant streaming Blu-ray disc that is being made available to all Netflix members. The free instant streaming disc leverages Blu-ray’s BD-Live™ technology to access the Internet and activate the Netflix user interface on the PS3 system, which must be online via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Netflix members simply slide the disc into their PS3 systems to reveal movies and TV episodes that can be watched instantly. These titles are conveniently organized into a variety of categories based on members’ personal preferences, popular genres, new arrivals and members’ individual instant Queues. Members can use the Netflix Web site or navigate directly on their PS3 systems to add movies and TV shows to their Queues. With the PS3 system’s Wireless Controller, members can choose a movie to watch from their instant Queues or just play directly from any of the lists. They also have the ability to read synopses and rate movies. In addition, they have the option of fast-forwarding and rewinding the video stream via the Wireless Controller.

Netflix members and PS3 system owners can now reserve a free instant streaming disc for PS3 systems by going to www.netflix.com/ps3. Upon availability, the instant streaming disc will be delivered for free by first-class mail, generally one business day after members request it.

THQ reveals new FPS: Metro 2033
More Naruto characters revealed
Classic tracks added to GH 5 DLC
More Jam Sessions for Nintendo DS

TOMY CORPORATION UNLEASHES NEW CHARACTERS AND THEIR POWERFUL SIGNATURE JUTSU MOVES IN NARUTO™ SHIPPUDEN: CLASH OF NINJA® REVOLUTION 3

TOMY Corporation today released brand-new gameplay footage showcasing the distinctive jutsu moves of the popular ninja from the upcoming Wii™ fighting game, NARUTO Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. The footage reveals the signature moves of four never-before-seen characters in the game: Anko, Yugao, Jiraiya and Tsunade, all executing their unique high-impact combat moves.

Players can experience the game for themselves on November 17 when they can play as these powerful ninja and experience new modes in this classic 3D fighting game exclusively for Wii. With more than 35 characters, the latest iteration in the series features new and improved gameplay mechanics and for the first time, WiFi gameplay functionality.

A brief description of each newly announced character and their special jutsu moves is also below:

Anko is a slower fighter who is melee oriented. She also has the ability to summon snakes to attack her opponents. In fact, one of her latent ninja powers is that her snake-based attacks do more damage. Anko also has an exciting new ability: the option to change forms and activate her curse seal. After activating the curse seal, Anko does loads more damage than normal at the cost of some chakra and continuously losing a bit of health. Opponents, beware!

Yugao is an extremely fast and agile character who will use her speed to her advantage. A lot of her attacks take advantage of the Anbu sword she carries, which not only does a lot of damage, but drives her enemies hard away from her or into the ground. Her jumping shuriken throw is a nice way to throw off the opponent's expectations because it changes her trajectory completely.

Jiraiya is a powerhouse, and you would do well to stay out of his combos, as they can do a great deal of damage. But he also has a few nasty tricks up his sleeve other than his raw power. His back strong attack activates Needle Jizo, which covers him in spikes and does damage to anything that touches it. After knocking an opponent to the ground, Jiraiya can go up to them and activate it to do unavoidable ground damage. He's also got a super handy down strong attack that creates an oil puddle under the enemy. If Jiraiya players can throw their opponents, they can quickly activate down strong, and the enemy will land in it, then be thrown back up into the air, giving Jiraiya enough time to come back into range to juggle into a combo.

Tsunade is a melee centric character who uses her super strength to her advantage. One of Tsunade's basic techniques is the disruption ability- in any combo that uses strong attack, when the player holds it instead of pressing it quickly, it will confuse the enemy's inputs, making them all reversed. Tsunade has the ability to break giant cracks into the ground but these are relatively unsafe because they only control horizontal space very low (on the ground) and they are slow recovery moves. The trick is to use this ability to chip away at opponents while they are grounded after a combo. Her forward strong flick is a unique ability that can "catch" falling opponents and flick them away, and is a nice way to punctuate a combo (and do additional damage).

El Segundo, Calif. - October 20, 2009 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Rocket Knight is currently in development for the Xbox LIVE® Arcade, PlayStation®Network and for PC download via Steam.

Playstation 3 Slim swells sales
Band Hero tracks revealed
Ubisoft launches casual site

Playstation 3 sales jump on Slim model & price cut

According to industry trackers NPD, Sony's recent price-drop/slim relaunch had a somewhat desirable effect as the console sold nearly 500K units in September, more than doubling the previous month. It was still outsold a tad by the DS, but led the Wii and Xbox 360 in sales. The PSP and PS2 sold fewer units, but still sold a respectable amount of units. Microsoft has some reason for solace, since Halo 3: ODST sold more than a million units to top the charts last month. However, its hold on the top slot looks tenuous, since the Wii version of Press Your Luck will probably dominate October sales. There's some dispute over whether Beatles: Rock Band or Guitar Hero 5 sold more copies by volume or single copies, but no one except the company PR reps really care. 2009 looks like it will end on a high note. Between hardware price cuts and software, this looks like a competitive holiday season.  

BAND HERO™ BRINGS THE MOST EXCITING EVENT OF THE SEASON TO LIVING ROOMS AROUND THE WORLD WITH CHART-TOPPING HITS FROM A VARIETY OF POPULAR ACTS

First E10+ Rated Console Guitar Hero® Game Offers Fun for Friends and Families with Music from Taylor Swift, Nelly Furtado, Lily Allen, The All-American Rejects and Jackson 5 and many more

Each avatar will live in a house that can be decorated with specialty items that are "bought” with points earned on the website.

Award-Winning UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Debuts Exclusively on the PlayStation(R)3

Naughty Dog, Inc.'s Genre Defining Action Shooter Demonstrates Power of PS3(TM) Mixing Story Telling and Gameplay to Provide Consumers with the Adventure of a Lifetime

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced today the North American launch of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves exclusively for the PlayStation®3 (PS3(TM)). Developed by Naughty Dog Inc., the acclaimed development team that produced UNCHARTED: Drake's Fortune for PS3 and the Jak & Daxter franchise for PlayStation®2, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves blends together the art of cinema and gaming to bring players a level of realism never before seen on a game console. With an extensive, story-driven single-player mode and thrilling competitive multiplayer and cooperative modes, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves demonstrates Hollywood blockbuster moments of roller coaster tension and exhilarating action through environments and characters brought to life by the most advanced graphics currently available on the PS3 system.

UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves picks up the story of Nathan Drake, a fortune hunter with a shady reputation and an even shadier past who is lured back into the treacherous world of thieves and mercenary treasure-seekers. In this adventure, Drake embarks on a journey that will push him to his physical, emotional, and intellectual limits as he seeks to discover the truth behind the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the mythical Himalayan valley of Shambhala, and ultimately recover the legendary Cintamani Stone. Along the way Drake encounters a rogue paramilitary leader and fugitive war criminal who's seeking the treasure for his own nefarious purposes. Accompanied on this quest by allies both old and new, Drake is forced to confront crises of loyalty and betrayal within an underworld of smugglers and thieves.

"Since the first game play demonstration shown at E3 2009, UNCHARTED 2 has remained one of the most award winning and anticipated title launches for 2009," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President, Product Marketing, SCEA. "What sets the game apart from anything else on the market is that Naughty Dog has not only been able to deliver on the spectacle, they have infused it with meaning and emotion by telling a story that is so character driven it sets a new bar for the video game industry and is a technical masterpiece that truly demonstrates the capabilities of the PS3."

The Naughty Dog 2.0 engine provides UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves with an open design, which allows players to take an aggressive or stealth approach to combat. While in combat Drake can jump across gaps in buildings during a rooftop fight, or drop off of a ledge to use the building as protection, opening up the opportunity for players to use the environment itself as a cover. In addition, free-flowing traversal gunplay adds a unique vertical element to familiar cover-based third-person shooting mechanics, allowing the player to engage in combat from any position in the environment - even while climbing or hanging. The environment also serves to challenge the player to interact with moving set pieces. Players will find themselves fighting through collapsing buildings, or battling enemies on a train taking sharp turns and moving around obstacles.

UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves holds a variety of visually stunning environments from lush, green swamps and dense urban environments, all the way to trains, rooftops and the ice and snow of the Himalayas. In these environments, players will experience dramatic in-game events that make them an active participant in the cinematic experience. With combat at the core, players will experience gunplay and varied combat enhancements, including an expanded melee system, and a variety of enemy types with advanced AI routines. The journey is balanced with the addition of puzzles that include climbing, exploration, and the need for careful observation.

"This game just couldn't have been made on any other system; the Blu-ray is maxed and the entire game is played without loading thanks to the Hard Disc Drive," said Christophe Balestra, co-president, Naughty Dog. "Naughty Dog is known for pushing hardware; this is the most ambitious game we have ever made and the game PS3 owners have been waiting for."

The sheer amount of detail in UNCHARTED 2 sets an industry standard and is an achievement that only PS3 can provide. The Naughty Dog 2.0 engine creates a milestone in technology innovation by recreating reality and capturing human emotion and gives the game flawless visuals, life-like environments, seamless cut scenes, and no visible loading - a Naughty Dog hallmark. Complete with studio-scale effects, including 7.1-surround sound audio that rivals Hollywood's biggest blockbuster films, cutting-edge artificial intelligence, voice and motion capture, UNCHARTED 2 delivers the ultimate next generation game play experience.

Competitive Multiplayer and Cooperative Modes

In addition to the addicting single-player action, UNCHARTED 2 offers robust cooperative and online multiplayer modes that bring the graphical quality of single-player with a wide variety of gameplay options. Competitive multiplayer supports up to 10 players, and offers a wide selection of match types from Deathmatch to Gold Rush across 7 different maps. Utilizing a robust party system, groups of players will remain together in ranked and custom matches while earning currency, which used in combination with currency earned in single player missions, will unlock additional content and upgrades. The competitive multiplayer also includes Cinema and Machinima modes that enable gamers to automatically record gameplay data for any match in any map and game type. Players can then head into Cinema to watch the recorded matches and then replays, screenshots and footage that can be made into videos in Machinima mode. Cooperative mode allows gamers 3 distinct scenarios for up 3 players to progress through a variety of environments by working together to accomplish set objectives.

The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves "T" for "TEEN" (Descriptors: Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Violence). For more information about the ESRB, visit www.esrb.org.

Graffiti Entertainment reveals North American box art for ‘Rogue Trooper® the Quartz Zone Massacre’ on Wii

Graffiti Entertainment Inc - a subsidiary of Signature Devices, Inc. (OTCPK: SDVI) – today released the North America box art for ‘Rogue Trooper®: The Quartz Zone Massacre’. This WiiTM game has been developed by UK developer Rebellion.

Rogue Trooper® is a genetically engineered soldier of the future, and is unique in videogames as he has an distinct armoury; a rifle, helmet and backpack, which contain the ‘personalities’ of his fallen comrades, providing him the capabilities of 4 soldiers in one. A ‘biochip’ is installed within each ‘Genetic Infantryman’ or ‘GI’ from birth that then records their personalities and training until their death. These biochips are then removed and can then be inserted within energized slots on a fellow GI’s rifle, helmet or backpack to secure them for their return to base and re-cloning.

Rogue Trooper®: The Quartz Zone Massacre is the story of how Rogue Trooper® and his comrades are betrayed by a traitor general on their first mission to an area of Nu Earth known as the Quartz Zone. Only Rogue survives and, joined by his fallen comrades within his equipment, he begins a journey across Nu Earth to find the general and unleash his revenge!

Rogue Trooper® is one of the 2000 AD’s most endearing characters. First appearing in 1981, he was created by Gerry Finlay-Day and Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame and was intended to run only a few years, but fans continually demanded more adventures. Rogue Trooper® has also enjoyed many reincarnations as a videogame throughout the last 20 years, most recently as the critically acclaimed and BAFTA nominated 3rd person shooter on PS2, Xbox and PC.

The Wii version promises to provide a more immersive gameplay experience with the unique Wii control interface where kill shots are more accurate and grenades can be launched with the flick of a wrist. In addition, Rebellion has provided additional tweaks and polish to the overall game ensuring the Wii version of the game is the very best yet.

Rogue Trooper®: The Quartz Zone Massacre will be released in Q4 2009.

Army of Two goes comic

EA and IDW Launch Army of Two and Dragon Age Comics 

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that it has signed a deal with IDW Publishing to expand two of its intellectual properties, Army of Two™ and Dragon Age™, into comics under a new EA™ Comics imprint with IDW beginning in January. EA and IDW will launch monthly, ongoing series for both Army of Two and Dragon Age. Each issue will be published in print and distributed nationally at comic book outlets, with digital versions released for iPhone™ and iPod® Touch and other emerging digital platforms.

“We’ve seen an increasing number of video game tie-ins with comics over the last few years. This marks another step in our strategy for extending EA’s wholly-owned game properties to new media. It is exhilarating to be working with the comic book creators directly,” said Mike Quigley, Group Vice President, Global Marketing, EA Games Label.

“This is a great opportunity for IDW to work with a worldwide leader in video games,” said Greg Goldstein, chief operating officer for IDW. “We look forward to bringing a tremendous amount of great content into the comics market.”

Written by veteran comic book writer Peter Milligan (X-Men, Batman, Hellblazer), Army of Two is being published as a comic starting in January 2010. Rising star Chester Ocampo is the cover artist while the interior artist/penciler, Dexter Soy, is a ‘hot newcomer’ on the comic scene. Soy’s work suggests influences from well-known comic artists such as Whilce Portacio and Leinil Francis Yu. The first story arc, “Across the Border,” follows ex-Army Rangers Salem and Rios as they form their own Private Military Corporation: Trans World Operations. The story of the comic follow the events of the first Army of Two game but takes place before the deadly invasion of Shanghai by The 40th Day initiative in the videogame sequel. In the comic, Salem and Rios get more than they bargained for as they are unexpectedly caught in a brewing war between the Mexican Army, drug cartels, and The Maras – one of the most powerful street gangs in Mexico.

Inspired by the highly-anticipated BioWare™ RPG, Dragon Age: Origins, the Dragon Age comic book series will be written by award-winning fiction writer Orson Scott Card (Ender’s Game, Ultimate Iron Man).

Naruto characters enter Clash
Majesty 2 gets patched up

TOMY CORPORATION REVEALS NEW CHARACTERS UNLEASHING SIGNATURE JUTSU IN UPCOMING Wii FIGHTING GAME NARUTO™ SHIPPUDEN: CLASH OF NINJA® REVOLUTION 3

TOMY Corporation today released all-new gameplay footage revealing the four latest characters activating their special jutsu moves in the highly anticipated Wii fighting game NARUTO Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. The never-before-seen footage highlights the special fighting moves of Kurenai, Hinata, Kiba and Shino, four characters taken directly from the popular Naruto manga. Exclusive for Nintendo Wii and available November 17, the classic 3D fighting game features new and improved gameplay mechanics, more than 35 playable characters, multiple gameplay modes, and for the first time, Wi-Fi multiplayer functionality. A brief profile of each new character is included below:

Kurenai is a genjutsu user and a tricky opponent. Her down strong attack is useful because it creates a cloud that "crumples" the opponent, leaving them unable to block during a combo attack. Her back strong attack can also be used as an automatic teleport to the backside of the enemy. Even trickier, if she finds her opponent is expecting the teleport, Kurenai can hold the strong attack to expend extra chakra to remain hidden until strong attack is released.

Hinata specializes in the gentle fist style much like Neji but is not as fast of a fighter. Her combo strings can become very long if Hinata can successfully combo cancel at the right moments. She also has a handy jump attack that propels her horizontally while jumping which adds an element of surprise in an aerial attack and allows her to move about the map unexpectedly.

Kiba is an energetic character with great speed. His summersault attacks can have tremendous start up speed and vault him toward the enemy very quickly making Kiba excellent at catching an enemy off-guard. Another one of his assets is his dog Akamaru who follows him onto the battlefield. Akamaru's attacks are very useful because they can be delayed and delivered at will. When holding a strong attack, Akamaru will take an attack stance and Kiba can continue to attack with a weak attack. Since Akamaru's attacks lift the enemy when they strike, players will find great ways to juggle from combo to combo using careful control of Akamaru.

Shino can be a tricky opponent because of the bugs under his control and their varying speed and duration of delivery. Shino can unleash his crawling bugs, strafe around opponents and combo them to fall into the bugs, which will continue combo strings. Other bugs will deploy from under the opponent and grab their feet to keep them from moving. For Shino, it's important to control the movement of his opponents by keeping them on their toes to avoid the bugs.

Patch for Majesty 2 Declared for All

NEW YORK - October 2, 2009 Paradox Interactive today announced a new patch for the recently released Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim. The first patch adds new game features and addresses issues affecting the overall gaming experience.

Majesty 2 players will now have instant access to future game updates with the implementation of an automatic update system that will download new patches and game updates as soon as they become available. Additionally, a "safe mode" is being introduced to Majesty 2 that will make it easier for players to optimize graphic settings.

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim is available in retail and for digital download on all leading digital distribution platforms. For more information about Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim, please visit http://www.majesty2.com and follow @pdxinteractive on twitter.

About Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

Recruit the finest group of Heroes to rise up and take on the treacherous Villains of Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim. In the highly-anticipated sequel to the original Majesty, humor and charm merges with a fantasy landscape to offer a gameplay experience like never before. But beware! Grabbing control of your Heroes is not the easiest task, for they are just as likely to stop in for a beer at the local tavern as they are to fight monsters and undertake heroic quests.

"We've been saying that 2009 is the year of the PSP platform, and with today's launch of the PSPgo system along with the flood of PSP digital content now available on PlayStation Network, we're delivering on that promise," said Peter Dille, senior vice president, marketing and PlayStation Network, SCEA. "The consumer appetite for digital content continues to grow, and PSPgo is the first dedicated gaming handheld to fully address the demand for an all-digital entertainment device."

The PSP go system will be available in "Piano Black" and "Ceramic White," and will include a demo of popular rhythm action title Patapon 2 pre-loaded onto the system's memory.

The games have been created by Ludia and are licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME).

Just like on the top-rated TV show, the Family Feud 2010 Edition game pits two families against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to survey-type questions posed to 100 people. The game includes all the familiar and favorite elements of the show such as the scoreboard, face-offs, strikes, stealing and fast money rounds. Authentic stages, theme music and game sounds create a true-to-show game experience, and thousands of questions keep gameplay fresh for hours of entertainment that friends and family of all ages can enjoy. Additionally, a new text input feature allows for even faster and more intuitive gameplay. The automatic spell checker will correct spelling, predictive text input makes typing answers lightning fast, and synonyms / concepts are grouped together to produce correct answers when a response is close enough to the survey answer.

Now packed with even more popular pricing games than ever (including Golden Road, Safe Crackers, Secret X and many more) plus tons of new and upgraded game graphics and customizable avatars, The Price Is Right 2010 Edition is the closest that fans can come to Contestant's Row, the Big Wheel & the Showcase without actually being on the show.
