The ever growing videogame developer and publisher's showcase booth will feature playable premieres for Clive Barker's Jericho, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, new downloadable content for Overlord, plus the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system edition of hit off-roader Colin McRae: DiRT. A Codemasters Online area will be dedicated to The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar and feature content update Book 10: The City of the Kings. Codemasters' Games Convention 2007 Lineup: Clive Barker's Jericho The terrifying squad-based horror FPS based on an original concept by the master mythmaker, Clive Barker's Jericho will receive its European consumer playable premiere at Games Convention 2007. Already hotly tipped as a key videogame this fall, and included in GameSpy.com's Top 10 Best Games of E3 2007 awards, Clive Barker's Jericho will take players on a journey through hellish locations and slices of time combating gruesome and twisted enemies from the mind of Clive Barker. Clive Barker's Jericho is coming this autumn for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty Games Convention 2007 will mark the first time ever that gamers will be able to go hands on with Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, the epic alternate-reality World War II shooter from Spark Unlimited. Set in 1953, amidst an alternate WWII reality, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty opens as Nazi forces launch a decimating attack on New York. At Leizpig, gamers will be able to hands-on and play through the game's moving, action-packed portion of the initial invasion. With Nazi battleships taking the harbour, monstrous Zeppelins filling the skies, jet powered aircraft executing bombing runs, and armed paratroopers descending to the city streets taking New York block by block, players will be overwhelmed with the will to survive and the determination to defend with this new take on WWII shooters. To be showcased at Leipzig on Xbox 360, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is also being developed for the PlayStation 3 system and Games for Windows. Overlord Revealing new content for Overlord, Codemasters' hit action adventure that enables players to explore their more despotic side, gamers will be able to go head to head with an all-new split screen multiplayer mode. The mode is soon to be available as a free content download for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Marketplace. The creation of Dutch developer Triumph Studios, Overlord is all about being ruthless and determined as players pillage lands, conquer kingdoms and rise to be proclaimed the new all-powerful Overlord, ably assisted by a horde of loyal but lethal minions. The free content update will provide the option to play split screen on all existing multiplayer maps. Overlord is out now for PC and Xbox 360. Colin McRae: DiRT Already a best-seller on Xbox 360 and PC, Games Convention 2007 will be the first place for gamers to test drive the PlayStation 3 system edition of Colin McRae: DiRT. Set to launch this September for the PlayStation 3 system, Colin McRae: DIRT takes traditional rally and turns it into an exhilarating cavalcade of mud splattering, gravel churning, handbrake turning, off-road race events. As the evolution of the world's grittiest racing game series, the car handling is sublime, the physics system thrillingly accurate and the damage effects are devastating. The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar - Book 10: The City of the Kings The dedicated Codemasters Online area will feature the playable first look at Book 10: The City of the Kings, the second free update for The Lord of the Rings Online : Shadows of Angmar, the award-winning MMO from Turbine, Inc.
