Metroid Prime 2: "The original Metroid Prime almost redefined
the idea of "first person" by putting your perspective
inside Samus's helmut. It was also one of the most superb examples
of sound design ever to grace a game console." http://www.gamestarmag.com/

John Woo Exploring 'Metroid' Film
Director John Woo has optioned Nintendo's best-selling video game
franchise "Metroid" for
the big screen. Nintendo's "Metroid" has appeared in various incarnations
since its introduction in 1986, with cumulative worldwide sales of 10 million-12
million. Each gives fans the chance to experience the suspense, mystery and excitement
of space exploration. The movie will center on the origins of the game's female
protagonist, sexy bounty hunter Samus Aran, and relate her adventures battling
the insidious life-sucking Metroids and their controlling force, Mother Brain.
Nintendo will unveil its eighth "Metroid" game, "Metroid Prime
2," during a news conference at the E3 expo in Los Angeles May 11. As is
typical of the video game industry, the company will be distributing limited
versions of the game (referred to as a playable demo) to select industry professionals
before the game ships for the GameCube platform in November.

Microsoft - Dungeon Siege 2 Website Opens
Microsoft's Dungeon
Siege 2 website is now officially open for
business. There you can read about the end of the First Age of
Man and catch a glimpse of what evil stirs in the Plain of Tears.
It’s been a generation since you vanquished
the evil that plagued the Land of Ehb, and now…a new menace
has awakened. In Dungeon Siege II, the sequel to the best-selling
RPG from Gas Powered Games, you will be called on to again wield
sword and spell to save the world from a growing abomination
many years in the making.
A thousand years ago, the crusaders of Azunai crossed swords
with the legions of Zaramoth in the final battle of a century-long
rebellion. As the tyrannical god Zaramoth struck the final blow
through Azunai’s trembling shield, the earth shook. In
that moment, the forces of magic were unchained, and both armies
were consumed in a brilliant cataclysm that stretched for leagues
across the Plain of Tears. Only a scarred wasteland remained
as final testament to the First Age of Man.
And for a millennium, magic has continued to spread to the farthest
corners of the world, freely flowing to any who would command
it. But the tide of magic has begun to wane, heeding instead
the call of an ancient legacy. From the Plain of Tears a new
heir beckons, and with each day his strength grows. Consuming
those who submit, eradicating those who resist. With none to
oppose his ascendance, the circle will be complete, and an ancient
age will begin anew.
What fate will befall the Second Age of Man? The time for judgment
is nigh.
