Sirius Games will be attending the 5th annual Game Connection 2005. It will take place on 5th, 6th and 7th of December, and will be held in Le Palais des Congrès de Lyon, Cité Internationale.

Sirius Games will be demonstrating the follow-up to the hugely successful Gangland released in 2004. As with the original, Paradise City is based around urban crime. Both games combine aspects of Real Time Strategy (RTS) gaming with Role Playing Games (RPG) in a big city environment with civilians, officials, and criminals.

In Paradise City, both the name of the game and the game city, the player takes on the role of a young ambitious gangster with the single goal of becoming the most successful and influential criminal in the entire city.

In Paradise City, the player can move through the city, robbing, intimidating and killing all that stands in his way, gaining notoriety and cool cash. As the player becomes more and more notorious, his influence grows and other criminals flock to him and become the core of this gang, his own criminal organization.

Leading his small but vicious crew of hardcore criminals, the player begins to take over the neighborhoods of the city, forcing the innocent citizens to pay him tribute and the local criminals to serve him, fighting against his rivals and defending his territories.

Using his influence, the player may call upon allied criminals organizations and corrupt officials to manipulate events in his favor: calling in extra man power to fight in vicious back alley shot outs, making the police look the other way or in other ways helping in his quest for the absolute underworld domination.

"The truth is that every intelligent person and you know this to be true, he dreams of being a gangster and rule society through pure violence.' (The Fall, Albert Camus)
