The Highly Anticipated The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Storms Retailers January 2009
Pandemic™ Studios, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that The Lord of the Rings: Conquest™ for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, PC and Nintendo DS™ platforms, will on sale in the UK on 16th January 2009.
In a partnership with New Line Cinema and The Saul Zaentz Company, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is an action-packed game created by the same Pandemic Studios team behind the best-selling Star Wars Battlefront™ and Star Wars Battlefront™ II titles. Set in “The Lord of the Rings” universe of J.R.R. Tolkien as depicted by the Academy Award®-winning films, players will finally fight the entirety of these epic battles any way they want. In addition to crusading as the heroic forces of good, for the first time ever in a ‘The Lord of the Rings’ action title they’ll conquer Middle-earth while playing as the legions of Sauron’s evil army, including Cave-trolls, Oliphaunts, the Balrog and Sauron himself.
“We have been working hard to create a ‘The Lords of the Rings’ experience like no other,” says Andrew Goldman, Pandemic Studios co-founder and general manager. “’And we are excited to finally confirm the launch of The Lord of the Rings: Conquest to ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and Star Wars Battlefront fans alike.”
“Players will finally be able to fight through Middle-earth along the frontlines of good or evil,” says Josh Resnick, co-founder and general manager at Pandemic Studios. “And what ‘The Lord of the Rings’ fan hasn’t fantasized about joining Sauron’s army to slay Hobbits?”Fans of The Lord of the Rings universe can also participate in a Battle for the Ring community program. The social network offers activities for members to virtually fight against good or evil and earn temporary ownership of the Ring.

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Wii MotionPlus is making the rounds to developers and the latest company to take interest in the peripheral is Deep Silver. Deep Silver, who is responsible for the upcoming Cursed Mountain, has expressed interest in possibility using the add-on to enhance gameplay. The company has not made a definitive decision as to whether or not they will include MotionPlus, but the idea is certainly an option at this point.

High Voltage has more projects in the works, will make announcements in the “near future”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
“That really is another area [RPGs] that can use a shot in the arm I feel. Keep your eyes peeled because in the near future we’ll be announcing some other titles that we’ve already got underway in development. We feel that there are a number of genres that are poorly represented on the Wii for core gamers. We want to do games that are high quality. You know, that’s what we are. I think it’s a shame for what is our personal favorite system to be so underrepresented when it comes to core gamers.” – Eric Nofsinger, High Voltage Software
If The Conduit is any indication, High Voltage Software’s other projects will certainly impress. I’m definitely keeping my eyes peeled as to what else the company has in store for the Wii.
