Game Description:

Mega Man Star Force returns, delivering a totally new and cutting- edge portable RPG adventure that is brought to life in the iconic, action-driven Mega Man way! Mega Man Star Force™ 2 will be available in two versions, Zerker X Ninja and Zerker X Saurian, with players able to choose between the three characters of Zerker, Ninja or Saurian depending on which version they choose.

Developed by the team behind the popular Mega Man Battle Network™ series, Mega Man Star Force™ 2 continues two months after the previous game left off. Geo Stelar and crew return to battle a whole host of UMA’s (unidentified animated beings) and new rival character called Rogue. When a mysterious organisation plans to revive the ancient civilization of Mu by unleashing the sinister force of the ancient OOPArt, it’s up to Geo and his virus-busting buddy, Omega-Xis, to thwart this latest threat.

Mega Man Star Force™ 2 blends a unique formula of RPG exploration elements with fast-paced action as players travel and battle between coexisting worlds, the physical world and the virtual Wave World to unravel the mystery around this new trouble maker. Players will encounter enemies in the virtual Wave World and battle them on three-by-five grids with their Battle Card deck. Mega Man Star Force™ 2 also features an upgraded “Transer” system.

Features:

• Two co-existing worlds – explore the real world in human form and transform into Mega Man to maneuver through the virtual “Wave World”.
• Each version of the game offers its own Mega Man™ transformations with unique elemental powers and spectacular special attacks. Zerker wields a large sword imbued with the power of lightning, Ninja boosts Mega Man’s speed and enables him to throw a huge Shurikan and Saurian is able to reduce enemies to smoldering pieces with the power of his explosive fiery fists.
• Each character has their own customizable Personal Page in the game where Battle cards and information can be viewed and traded with friends to compare progress.
• Nintendo Wi-Fi connection and the wireless LAN allows players to connect with in-game friends regardless of their location and add new friends to their network to create a “Brother Band” network where they can share cards, status upgrades and even help each other to perform upgraded transformations.

Multiplay’s new downloads service swings into action.

Southampton, September 4th 2008, Multiplay - one of the largest gaming communities in Europe - is pleased to announce it has 50,000 beta keys for Electronic Arts’ upcoming Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning MMO. The keys are for the open public beta and will be available from Thursday 4th September 2008 from Multiplay’s new gaming downloads site, www.fileplay.net.

Upon entering WAR, players must determine their allegiance and join an army. Those inclined towards the side of good may fight for the Realm of Order as an obstinate Dwarf, noble High Elf, or loyal human soldier of the Empire. Those inclined towards darker deeds may side with the sinister Realm of Destruction as a savage Greenskin (Orc or Goblin), corrupt Dark Elf, or marauding human worshipper of Chaos.

For the first time, players can engage in Public QuestsTM; these community driven Player vs. Environment quests help to advance the game’s story and allow all allied players within a certain location to participate in an ongoing, multi-stage battle. This is an example of how every aspect of the game, including PvE content, is geared towards the greater war in some important way. Players are not required to participate in Player vs. Player combat, and may aid in the Realm vs. Realm war effort and enjoy the game in its entirety via PvE content.

Drawing from a quarter century of highly detailed source material, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning brings Games Workshop’s fantasy world to life in a way that will allow players to create characters destined for great deeds and glory on the field of battle.

To play for yourself visit www.fileplay.net/keys/warhammer for a beta key, available with a free Multiplay account.
