SouthPeak wanted to get in on the pre-E3 action and sent us a copy of their E3 line up as well, listing eight titles they'll be exhibiting next week.
The one we're most interested in seeing? Raven Squad, a blend of FPS and RTS elements that takes the best of both and then merges it into a unique experience. It also supports co-op play which, we have to admit, we're total suckers for.
Hit the jump for the full breakdown.
SOUTHPEAK GAMES UNVEILS E3 LINEUP
SouthPeak to Debut
Highly-Anticipated Titles at Annual Trade Show
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – July
10, 2008 - SouthPeak Games today announced its
lineup for the upcoming E3 Media & Business Summit in Los Angeles July 15-17, 2008. Located at
Booth 426, SouthPeak will showcase its Fall titles with extensive hands-on and
producer-led demos, including presentations by Ninjatown creator Shawn Smith.
"This year's products are among the best
the company has ever produced," said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games.
"We are coming to the show with strong momentum and we believe that will
translate into a strong Holiday Season."
The following is a list of titles that will be at the
show:
Big Bang Mini (Nintendo DS™
– January 2009)
This addictive fast paced shoot'em up puts
a flashy new spin on classic arcade gameplay. Players are challenged to
navigate their ship through a brilliant array of highly stylized levels as they
launch a bevy of fireworks at waves of dynamic enemies. Players will use the
stylus to create their own fireworks displays and combo attacks in order to
defeat waves of challenging enemies. Versus play, online rankings, and other
gameplay modes only add to the chaos that ensues.
Brave: A Warriors Tale (Wii™,
Xbox 360® & PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system – Fall 2008)
Set many, many moons after Shaman's Challenge, the game plays
as a series of flashbacks in which a now elderly Brave describes the events of
his life. Between the warrior's tales of his youth, the player takes
control of Courage, a young boy who takes lessons from his elder's
experiences to stop the current threat to their village. The game provides players
expansive exploration and in-game interactivity on their quest to defeat the
sources of evil, continuously offering a significant challenge to players as
they advance through a world of untamed wilderness. Brave is able to transform
into various animals, track prey, and battle enemies that stand in his way with
bows and arrows, tomahawks and a variety of ancient powers.
Brave: Shaman's Challenge
(Nintendo DS – September 2008)
Taking place in Native American lands of long
ago, Brave: Shaman's Challenge
follows a young boy named Brave in his quest to protect everything he holds
dear. He alone stands against a group of evil Shaman dead set on reviving their
old master; the Wendigo. Brave:
Shaman's Challenge features a cast of intriguing characters, a
diverse set of amazing magic spells, a richly developed game world, and more
puzzles than you can shake a shaman's stick at!
Igor The Game (Windows PC, Wii
& Nintendo DS – September 2008)
The game is based on the highly anticipated
animated movie created by Exodus Film Group in cooperation with The Weinstein
Company. In the Wii version of the game, players have the ability to choose one
of the main characters (Igor, Eva, Scamper or Brain) and play either
simultaneously or cooperatively with up to four people. The Nintendo DS version
utilizes the stylus to perform movement combinations, combat enemies and solve
puzzles. Players can custom build their own monsters to take on puzzle
challenges and battle against other mad scientists.
Monster Madness: Grave Danger (PLAYSTATION®3
computer entertainment system – August 2008)
Taking on the role of four intrepid teenagers,
players will set out to save their town from the evil that's been
unleashed. This top-down shooter also features new and improved controls, twenty
five new mini-games, tightened camera system and a hundred new weapon upgrades
and power-ups, as well as full online co-op adventure mode that allows up to four players to
experience all of the gameplay of the story mode.
Ninjatown (Nintendo DS –
October 2008)
A diverse group of fun-loving Ninjas populate
the vibrant yet peaceful place known as Ninjatown. However, after the eruption
of a nearby volcano, Ninjatown is attacked by hordes of sinister enemies lead
by Mr. Demon, who, for reasons unknown, is bent on destruction. The game is
played from the top down, where the player uses the stylus to strategically
place Ninjas to defend each area. The action is non-stop!
Raven Squad (Xbox 360 & Windows
PC – Fall 2008)
Raven Squad is a tactical action game set in the
Amazonian jungles, and blends a first person shooter (FPS) experience with the
command and overview advantages of a real-time strategy (RTS) game. Players can
solve each mission situation using a combination of the two genres on their own
or cooperatively with a friend. Also, they always have the ability to switch
between eight different characters with their own unique background,
personalities, behaviors, weapons and skills.
X-Blades
(Windows PC & Next-Gen Consoles –
Fall 2008)
Ayumi, the main character, is an adventurous
relic hunter in search of an artifact believed to hold the fate of the world in
its grasp. Featuring anime noir, film-quality animation and high-speed gameplay,
players can upgrade magic abilities to fight off elemental beasts and design their
own control scheme, mapping magic attacks to the buttons they want.
