All Out Assault Continues For Smash Hit That Has Topped
11 Million Units Sold Since Launch 

Sydney, Australia – June 12, 2009 – Call of Duty®: World at War continues to unleash the fury, as Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Treyarch announced today that Call of Duty®: World at War Map Pack 2 is now available for download on Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.  The new map pack delivers four new maps – including a brand new Zombie map – for the blockbuster title that has now surpassed 11 million units sold across all platforms, according to The NPD Group, Charttrack and Gfk.

“We are thrilled with the ongoing support from Call of Duty: World at War’s online community,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch. “To the millions of fans enlisted for battle, we can’t wait for you to play what we have been working on with our new competitive multiplayer maps, and our latest co-op Zombie map, that reveals some exciting surprises!”

Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 will include: 

Banzai

Deep in the jungles of Japanese controlled territory, players will battle to control the tall river bridge in “Banzai,” a bright, medium-sized jungle map featuring a stunning waterfall, villages and hidden caves well suited for deadly snipers, surprise attacks and all out gun battles. 

Corrosion

In “Corrosion,” players will face down the enemy in a deteriorated Russian train yard.  Shattered pipelines and war torn train cars decorate this mid-sized map and are great for full-out team combat.  Beware, because the enemy could be anywhere!

Sub Pens

“Sub Pens” drops players into a close-quarter abandoned Japanese submarine base that’s littered with live ammunition, breached subs and idle fighter planes.  Monsoon rains will be a factor as teams struggle to control key choke points in this tight map designed for exciting and deadly battles.

Shi No Numa (Zombie Swamp)

In this addition to the four-player co-op favourite, the un-ending Zombie horde requires players to keep moving, moving, moving!  Imperial Zombies rise from the misty swamps and flaming Hell Hounds blaze through the jungle as players struggle to stick together. The situation is bleak, but there is help on the way: new traps to keep the undead out (the deadly Flogger), a zip line for quick escapes, and best of all, a new weapon: The Wunderwaffe DG-2. The DG-2, aka “The Lightning Gun” is the pinnacle of secret Nazi technology. Packed with 200,000 amperes of devastating chained electrical current, The Wunderwaffe DG-2 should help even the score and enable players to capture the 10 new Xbox 360 Achievements/PS3 Trophies waiting for them inside the deadly swamp.

Call of Duty®: World at War Map Pack 2 is currently available on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points and on the PlayStation®Store for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system for $15.95.

However, having recently borrowed money from a stranger on the street to reach the amount necessary to purchase a must-have, eye-catching green scarf, Rebecca is horrified to find that her interviewer is the very same person who lent her the money, Luke Brandon (HUGH DANCY).

Intrigued by this attractive strange girl who claims among other things to speak Finnish, Luke offers Rebecca the position at financial rag Successful Saver. Now, it’s up to Rebecca to use the opportunity to prove she has what it takes – will Rebecca’s addiction to spending and high fashion begin to take a toll? After a number of unfortunate events, Rebecca is forced to confront her addiction to win back her life and the trust of her boss Luke and best friend Suze.

Andrew Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper is making its way down under and is already considered by all the best Sherlock Holmes adventure. To convince yourself, simply try this demo that will immerse you in a truly realistic and full of life Whitechapel and give you a little taste of what awaits you in this great investigation.

This demo will showcase the many graphical, technical and narrative improvements made by the series as well as the innovative use of two different views. The first one, the classic view, lets you control Sherlock Holmes just like in a point and click game while the second one allows you to play in the first person.

This playable demo of 872 MB lets you play as Sherlock Holmes at the very beginning of the game and witness Jack the Ripper’s first murder as a spectator. Shivers are guaranteed, but keep in mind that this playable demo, as well as the complete game, is not advised for players under 16 years old.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper allows you to play as the greatest detective of all in the London of 1888. A series of particularly horrible murders creates a real psychosis throughout the country. Atrociously mutilated prostitutes’ bodies are found by the police without them being able to find a serious lead. Sherlock Holmes starts looking for clues in the dark and sinister alleys of Whitechapel in order to follow the macabre trail of the one the press now calls Jack the Ripper. During an adventure full of twists, Sherlock Holmes will try to bring out the true identity and the motives of the one who hides behind this scary alias.

The Sherlock Holmes series is known as one of the best franchises in adventure games and is very popular with around 1.5 million copies sold worldwide. Now, Sherlock Holmes is back with a game that will give a new dimension to the series. Indeed, Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper will offer players two different views that are accessible at any time: a third person view in the purest style used in point & click adventure games, as well as a first person view. The player will be free to play in one or the other modes or even combine them for greater immersion into this terrifying adventure. Another novelty: the player will also find an original crime scene reconstitution system that will allow him to test his theories during his progress in the investigation to follow the bloody trail of the terrifying serial killer.

Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper will be released for DVD ROM PC in June of 2009.

The 24-drive array, configured with over 7 Terabytes of storage, reported an outstanding Annual Energy Use of 1,765.41 kWh and projected Annual Energy Cost of US $211.85 at $0.12/kWh [1], making it a compelling choice for Tier 1 storage solutions on price, power, capacity and performance.

SPC-1C/E is the first industry-standard performance benchmark to provide energy use reported data in conjunction with storage performance reported data.

“The SPC congratulates Seagate on its Savvio benchmark results using SPC-1C /E,” said Walter E. Baker, administrator for the Storage Performance Council. “The new SPC-1C/E Reported Data is a refinement for the storage industry which demands ever-increasing performance along with system power savings that can be measured in real-world environments.”

Seagate Savvio 10K.3 drives offer the best combination of enterprise performance and power efficiency, with up to 300GB capacity for mainstream servers and external storage arrays. The 2.5-inch footprint enables the lowest power profile of any tier-1 mission-critical drive.

One of this year’s biggest movies just got even bigger! The IMAX version of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will feature select sequences shot with IMAX cameras as well as a longer cut and more robot fighting. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is set for release at IMAX Melbourne Museum on 24 June.

Director Michael Bay will integrate the IMAX footage with state of the art CGI to create an unprecedented look and feel for the highly anticipated sequel to last year’s box office hit, Transformers. This marks the second time ever, after Dark Knight, that a major feature film has been partially shot using IMAX cameras.

“For IMAX, I created a slightly longer cut with more robot fighting,” Director Michael Bay said. “Four scenes were shot on IMAX cameras so the image will fill the full IMAX screen for these scenes.”

“The way to see this movie is on IMAX,” Bay said. “Never before has there been (such high resolution) 4k rendered character animation shot on full IMAX 70 mm film. This is a first and the results are stunning. You will see Optimus Prime in a few shots where he is actually perfectly to scale on the 50 foot tall IMAX screens.”

“We’re one of the only two giant screen IMAX theatres in Australia capable of showing these IMAX sequences as they were intended by the director,” said Richard Morrison, Manager, IMAX Melbourne Museum. “These extra scenes made especially for IMAX viewing will be absolutely amazing on our 23 metre high screen.”

The battle for Earth has ended, but the battle for the Universe has just begun. After returning to Cybertron, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons and has decided to return to Earth with force. The Autobots, believing that peace was possible, find out that Megatron’s dead body has been stolen from the UD Military by Skorpinox and revive him using his own spark. Now Megatron is back seeking revenge and with Starscream and more Decepticon reinforcements on the way, the Autobots – with reinforcements of their own – may have more to deal with than meets the eye. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) will again join with the Autobots® against their sworn enemies, the Decepticons®.

IMAX Melbourne Museum uses state of the art technology to deliver the world’s most immersive film experience. With the world’s third largest screen, projecting the biggest 3D image in Australia, combined with a revolutionary projection system, 15,000-watt digital audio system and customised theatre geometry, IMAX Melbourne Museum really is the ultimate film experience.
