Australia — The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) has announced the development of Wildlife: Forest Survival, an original IP for Xbox LIVE® Arcade (XBLA) and PlayStation® Network (PSN). The new multiplayer title casts players as wild animals and immerses them in a head-to-head battle in an unpredictable forest environment where only the dominant species can survive. Wildlife: Forest Survival is slated to launch in autumn 2011.

“Wildlife: Forest Survival gives players the unique perspective of seeing the world through the eyes of an animal in the wild,” said Jon Dean, Executive Producer at EA Salt Lake Studio. “Experiencing the rush of pitting animals against each other, learning about the laws of nature, and feeling the thrill of the hunt, chase and kill is sure to make for a game that showcases survival of the fittest at its best.”

Wildlife: Forest Survival progresses through a treacherous forest setting where players choose from one of four animals and tap into their selected animal’s strengths in order to annihilate their prey and escape their predators. Intense multiplayer arena battles let up to 12 players go head-to-head in the ultimate fight for survival, where aspiring assailants must balance tracking their prey and eluding their foes. Players must chose their animal carefully, though, as each comes with its own strengths and weaknesses: the rabbit relies on his quickness and Sense Danger ability to make a quick getaway from his pursuers, the fox uses its cunning to employ its Sneak Pounce ability and stun unsuspecting prey, the hawk soars above the forest and calculates the perfect timing to execute its Dive Bomb strike, and the gator dominates aquatic environments by moving swiftly through the water with its powerful jaws, but is challenged with slower speed on land.

Players can explore, hide out, or dominate in eight unique maps, each of which plays to one of the animal’s strengths. From lush greenery to high trees, from inviting bodies of water to jagged rock formations, each level sets the stage for the animals and their battle to survive.

Noire is the first game to truly explore what it means to be a detective, offering players the opportunity to solve crimes through a blend of classic action, clue-finding and interrogation, allowing players to analyze every subtle nuance of an actor’s performance in order to get to the truth.

SYNOPSIS

Cobb is a skilled thief and coveted player when it comes to extraction: the stealing of valuable secrets from deep within the mind during a subject’s dream state. His skill, though, has turned him into an international fugitive and he is now being offered a chance at redemption. One last job. One last job to give him his life back. But only if he can pull off the impossible – inception — not stealing an idea but planting one. If Cobb and his team succeed, it will be the perfect crime.

NANCY, FRANCE-12 November 2010 – Who deserves to get their ass kicked in 2010? The beat’em ups from the ‘90’s made those from the inner city out to be a dangerous population, and accordingly invited us to joyously kick their asses. Remember: How many hours did you spend on pummeling punks with their spiky green mohawks, prostitutes in fishnet stockings and red-haired thugs in classics like Streets of Rage or Final Fight?

But today, zero tolerance and the state of the real estate market finally destroyed those formidable enemies that we spent our youth beating the crap out of. So what is left to do? Today in 2010, who really deserves to get their ass kicked in a beat’em up?

With The Asskickers, AGO Games gives an answer to this question. The white-collar threat In 2010, the real menace to society is not the punk who’s going to steal grandma’s purse to pay for his next fix, but the unscrupulous banker who encourages his clients place their money in high-risk investments, just so that he’ll get his big year-end bonus.

The Asskickers targets this new “white-collar” menace, portrayed by:

• irresponsible traders who have destroyed jobs, pension plans and homes by losing billions in shady business deals
• greedy managers who played blind to these practices and who tried to hide the reality of the situation and its consequences from their clients
• crooked politicians who pretend to serve the greater good while supporting the massive lobbies which financed their campaigns
• Daddy’s little boys and girls who think that their social status and parents’ connections give them the right to do anything they like!

Well, AGO Games has bad news for them and all those who play their game: The Asskickers are here to take names and kick some asses!

Who are The Asskickers?

From the imagination of Stanislas Berton, The Asskickers are three heroes linked by a common practice of martial arts, who will use their combat skills to defend their innocence and freedom by kicking the corrupted asses of all those who get in their way. With the help of these three heroes, you will be able to confront the white-collar menace and pay them back hit for hit in a game that literally pulls no punches and has its tongue firmly in cheek. “Now, you know which asses you are going to kick!” Beat’em up is back! The Asskickers will be available early 2011 for PC and Mac through digital distribution only!
