World Championship Poker 2: Featuring
Howard Lederer – PlayStation®2 and Xbox®
World Championship Poker 2: Featuring Howard Lederer, the follow up to one of
the best selling titles for the first half of 2005, features 7 of the world’s
top poker pros including Howard Lederer, Greg Raymer, Paul Darden, Robert
Williamson III, Clonie Gowen, Amir Vahidi, Annie Duke, and Matt Savage.
Additionally, WCP2 has a much more detailed one player game, where you now have
to work their way up the ranks, starting in your mom’s basement. Once you start
winning and accumulating money, you can spend your winnings on increasingly
better pads, and furnishings. Hit a losing streak, and you may have to hock your
stuff to stay in the game.
Exclusive to the PlayStation 2 version of
World Championship Poker 2 is support for the EyeToyTM USB Camera (for
PlayStation®2), which allows online opponents to see each other as they play, in
addition to supporting text chat. The Xbox version of the game supports Xbox
Live including Scoreboards, Voice/Chat and Live Aware.
Scheduled for release in Fall 2005, World
Championship Poker 2: Featuring Howard Lederer will be available for the
PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and Xbox video game system from
Microsoft with an MSRP of $19.99.
The Bible Game – PlayStation®2 and Game
Boy® Advance
The first titles of their kind on current
console systems, both games combine wholesome family fun with a engaging
challenge of Biblical knowledge. The Bible Game for PlayStation 2 casts players
as contestants on a game show with fast-paced, "beat the buzzer" action and a
comical off-screen announcer as emcee. 20 mini- and micro-games with 1,500
questions reinforce inspirational Old Testament teachings such as Jonah and the
Whale, David and Goliath, The Tower of Babel, and many more. Multiplayer mode
for up to 4 players encourages family members of all ages to play together, and
provides a fun alternative for family game nights.
The Bible Game for Game Boy Advance combines
action/adventure play style with trivia challenges. In their quest to protect
the Armor of God, players may choose to play as either Billy or Jenny across
seven levels including forest, snowy tundra, desert, and tropical island
environments. Along the way they must answer questions from both the Old and New
Testaments. Either the New International Version or King James translation may
be selected, and three levels of difficulty keep the game accessible for all
ages.
Scheduled for release in October 2005, The
Bible Game will be available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system
and GameBoy® Advance handheld system for an MSRP of $19.99.
