Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 to be released on 13/9/2005

Serph, leader of the Embryon, wanders aimlessly through the lifeless streets before him.
In the Junkyard, his Tribe fought a gruesome war, hoping the light of Heaven would relieve their suffering. In the end, Serph's world vanished, along with the comrades who stood by him.
All that awaited him in Nirvana were endless streets littered with the silent remains of human statues.The Promised Land was nothing but a new hell.
Guards in white appear through clouds of dust, threatening to arrest Serph as an unauthorized Avatar Tuner. He notices the Karma Temple's insignia on their equipment as they throw it aside and transform into hideous demons. The water crown's power washes over Serph, and he realizes the Atma was not simply a nightmare of the Junkyard-
nothing has changed but his surroundings. Devouring others is the only way to survive. What awaits Serph beyond Nirvana-a glorious paradise, or a sea of blood-soaked corpses?

style="color:darkred">Urban Reign to be released on 13/9/2005


The single player mode of "Urban Reign" follows "tough guy for hire" Brad Hawk as he carries out his orders to protect a prominent gang boss in the city of Green Harbor. Fighting through the game's 100 missions alone or with a computer-controlled partner, Brad will uncover a trail of corruption and deception that spans throughout Green Harbor. As a street brawler, Brad knows there is no such thing as a fair fight and will use any means necessary to achieve victory - including a vicious assortment of battle-tested fighting styles, double-team attacks and weapons such as shovels, bottles, pipes and bats to beat the enemy into submission. Fighting alone is no easy task, as partners come into play allowing the player to pull off fantastic double-team moves. The player can send enemies flying through the air as their partners catch and slam them onto the concrete.
Players can also challenge their friends to intense multiplayer matches in "Urban Reign," using the PlayStation 2 multitap to get up to four players into the fray at once. More than 60 unique characters - each a master of their own respective fighting style - are available for use in the game's gritty environments, complete with obstacles and destructible objects. Multiplayer game modes include head-to-head and team brawls, Weapon Battle mode in which characters try to hold onto one weapon for as long as possible to claim victory, and Destruction Battle mode in which teams fight the clock and each other in an attempt to destroy their enemy's object.

The game consists of three sprawling worlds that each feature multiple levels and mini games with numerous cut scenes and climactic boss battles. Players will recognize the voice of the original Batman television series' Adam West as Winslow Stanton, the game's main villain, as well as authentic Scooby-Doo! cartoon voice actors. In addition, effects from the original cartoon, such as canned laughter and classic catch phrases, have been incorporated into the game.
