Gaming News - April 2006
Cary, NC (April 27, 2006) - CDV today announced their planned lineup
for the 2006 Electronics Entertainment Expo (Kentia Hall booth #7007) in Los
Angeles.
From CDV:
The titles include the highly anticipated War Front: Turning Point and
DarkStar One, along with Panzer Tactics– the first World War II turn-based
strategy game developed for the Nintendo DS handheld system.
The titles to be shown at E3 2006 are:
- War Front: Turning Point: A gripping alternate history WWII RTS focusing on
new battles and a variety of secret and experimental weapons. Genre-defying
graphics and a refreshing plot will keep gamers pinned to their PCs as they
attempt to alter or ensure the outcome of vastly different World War II.
- War Leaders: Clash of Nations: In War Leaders, gamers will assume the role
of historical commanders as they attempt to lead their nations to victory in
World War II through economic, diplomatic and military means. The game will
balance strategic and global decision making with action-oriented, tactical
combat. Players must lead their nations both on and off the battlefield,
negotiating with allies while crushing those who dare oppose them.
- Panzer Tactics DS: CDV's first handheld title, Panzer Tactics DS, will also
be the first World War II turn-based strategy title developed for the Nintendo
DS handheld system. Combining intuitive gaming with historically-inspired
battles, would-be commanders will lead their forces to victory or defeat in
three exciting single-player campaigns, or compete in multiplayer games via
Nintendo-WiFi Connection or wireless multiplayer. Multiplayer games will also
offer a competitive ladder system to rank the best online commanders.
- Heroes of Annihilated Empires: A unique combination of RTS and RPG gameplay
in which players build massive armies and develop a heroic character in a rich
fantasy world filled with magic, myth and monsters. Four distinct races will
battle for domination using both swords and sorcery. Heroes’ new 3D engine shows
the astonishing beauty of the created world, reflecting the peculiarities of
various races’ territories.
- DarkStar One: A space-faring action adventure title from Ascaron
Entertainment where players will take on the role of a young hotshot space pilot
determined to solve the mystery of his father’s untimely death. The fast paced,
open ended action takes place in a dangerous universe of some 400 distinct
planets, unique alien races and a fully customizable starship, the DarkStar One.
- Pacific Storm: Part turn-based strategy, part RTS and part arcade-action
game, Pacific Storm offers gamers a refreshing new approach to World War II
action in the Pacific Theater. Players will take on the role of a senior
commander as they manage resources and troop movements, and then switch to
arcade mode to battle in the skies and on the seas in individual combat against
an unrelenting enemy.
