White Gold Genre: RPG/FPS Developer: Deep Shadows Year 2010, a small Caribbean country. The main part of the island is aflame with revolt. The Government Army tries to quash an uprising, powerful drug cartels are trying to decimate the Indians, and the whole population is being indiscriminately slaughtered by criminal gangs. This boiling pot, however typical for Latin America, is rapidly nearing an explosion. The main hero of the game is entrusted with a task to uncover some dark secrets, to investigate a few disappearances, and to stay alive above all. A high quality dynamic RPG/FPS mix which offers a rich scenario in addition to the non-stop action. The FPS engine capable of working seamlessly with hundreds of square miles of open terrain, an extensive physics system, clever AI and free gameplay are combined with a character development system, realistic in-game economy, hundreds of quests and hundreds of NPCs. The title is a finalist of Intel's Game Demo 2008 contest and will be released in Russia/CIS in October 2008. Battle for Atlantis Genre: RTS Developer: WorldForge The last war on the planet erupted when people found the ancient civilization of Atlantis which has been concealed at the ocean bottom for ages. Humans have underestimated the power of Atlanteans and thus the war takes place in the middle of ultimate elemental disasters – hurricanes and floods. The remains of regular troops are trying to stand up against the army of Atlanteans; this army consists of giant dinosaur-reptiles that have been tamed and fully controlled by bionic mages of Atlantis. The game is being made by the team responsible for "Ancient Wars: Sparta", but has a new and very powerful engine with a full Xbox 360 support. For the first time in the history of RTS, a full physical model of water space will be created in the game. Real waves and tsunamis, floods and destruction of the landscape by water, river flows and waterfalls, splendid underwater effects – all this gives an enormous scope of creation and makes the game world of Atlantis as real as never before. The title is the first Xbox 360 RTS to come out of Russia and is scheduled for a release in October 2009. The Wall Genre: Action Developer: Burut CT The Wall is a social First Person Action, where the main part of the gameplay happens on the streets of a modern city where the population has rebelled against the authorities.
