"We're excited to participate in the new E3 Media & Business Summit and look forward to having media and business partners spend time with the Atari Team and our titles."
Below, you have a small description of each title mentioned above and remember, the publisher still has more to announce at the E3 this month - no developer, publisher, hardware or software manufacturer reveals it all before the Expo.
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - The game combines the lightning fast fighting and action that have made Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and Budokai Tenkaichi 2 the #1 fighting games of 2005 and 2006. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 delivers an extreme 3D fighting experience, improving upon last year's game with over 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting techniques, beautifully refined effects and shading techniques, making each character's effects more realistic, and over 30 battle stages. The game is slated for a Wii and PlayStation 2 release, during the 2007 holiday season.
The Witcher - Based on the world created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's novels, The Witcher casts players as Geralt, a legendary monster slayer and master swordfighter with supernatural abilities and reflexes. The Witcher presents a fresh approach to traditional role-playing, blending an expansive, twisting plotline - in which the impact of individual decisions can drastically alter the outcome of the game - and fast-paced combat against a wide variety of foes. The Witcher will be available for Games for Windows this fall.
Godzilla: Unleashed - The game offers fighting on a giant scale starring the legendary Godzilla and a slew of the most renowned monsters of all-time. Gamers are challenged to ultimately save the planet from mayhem and destruction. Set in urban arenas, Godzilla: Unleashed's interactive 3D cityscapes, big destructible buildings, soaring skyscrapers and towering alien formations provide the backdrop to epic worldwide destruction. Godzilla: Unleashed hits the Wii and Nintendo DS this fall.
Jenga - For the first time, the beloved family game Jenga comes to the world of video games, utilizing the innovative controls of the Wii and DS for unpredictable, quick-paced, tactical gameplay that combines suspense and risk- taking, where mounting anticipation comes to a crashing climax. Exciting new enhancements, power-ups and twists have been added to the original idea. It will be available for the Wii and Nintendo DS this fall.
