first time at this year Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, booth
#6035. The VATZ is a massive action/strategy game powered by the company’s

and multiple twisted storylines in a completely original world brought to life
by stunning state-of-the-art 3D graphics, The VATZ is sure to offer a unique

3D engine that would have everything a gamer may expect and more: Goliath was
born."
