New Velvet Assassin screenshots; update on ARG progress
Replay Studios and Gamecock just released some new screenshots for their upcoming WWII stealth action game Velvet Assassin and they look, well, kind of weird. While we are still looking forward to the game's release this fall the action on the game's related ARG contest also continues.In case you are unaware, the development team has placed "Nazi Gold" in locations around the world and left clues to their locations on the www.violettesdream.com web site. Several weeks ago, one person found one of these gold locations in Fredericksburg, Texas. Today it was announced that a second stash of gold was found in Victoria Station in London. The man who found the stash, Russell Kent, used clues found in a newspaper, finding a letter in a London bar and other locations to find the stash. There's no word on how much gold is still left to be found. Meanwhile, Velvet Assassin itself is due for release this fall....
New Legendary screenshots are action packed
"Hello. This is your captain speaking. We are cruising over the city and over to your right you can see a werewolf that's trying to attack the plane." Oh, the fun that we can have with this new batch of Legendary screenshots. They continue to be action packed as more scenes from the upcoming first person shooter continue to be revealed.The title recently got a fixed release date of September 30 which means we should soon see if the Spark Unlimited developed title is as good as we really hope it is. The Unreal Engine 3 powered title will be released in the US by Gamecock and in Europe by Atari and will have a comic book adaptation released around the same time as the game's release....
Fury to finally shut down
The fantasy MMO Fury, the product of the Australian based developer Auran, had tons of hype and even an extensive beta contest where people could win tons of prizes. None of that mattered when the game officially launched in late October (Gamecock handled the US distribution). Riddled with bugs the game failed to attrack an audience and by the end of 2007 Auran had shut down its operations.Fury itself kept running with a skeleton crew and a few months ago tried to re-launch as Fury League, but it seems like nothing could generate an audience for the game. Now the game's official forums have posted up word that Fury's servers are due to shut down later this week and even the game's web site will go down as well. As the message states, "To all those players who have enjoyed Fury and played countless battles, I am sorry that we could not find a viable business model that would allow you to continue playing. To all those naysayers and doomsdayers, we know that deep down you wanted Fury to succeed. Have fun with your parting wishes :)."...

E3 08: Legendary comic book coming
In attending Gamecock's non-E3 event at the Hotel Figueroa on Thursday, we got to play a new build of the upcoming first person shooter Legendary.

New Dungeon Hero screenshots get scary on us
Did you ever have a nightmare where you were being chased by a monster? The folks at Firefly Studios have and some of their new screenshots for their upcoming action-RPG Dungeon Hero show some very scary monsters indeed.Due out in early 2008 via publisher Gamecock, Dungeon Hero is aiming to be a slightly more realistic and gritty look at the genre than you might have seen in previous games of its type, with more of a "living world" aspect rather than just a place to collect loot.. We will be getting a hands-on look at a new build of Dungeon Hero at Gamecock's hotel meeting room event during E3 this week. In the meantime we hope you sleep well tonight....
Companies that don't attend E3 will still use E3
Is it hypocritical to say you are not going to attend E3 yet still hold outside events during E3 week in Los Angeles? We think it's a little ironic but that's just us. Forbes.com takes a look at the game publishers who decided not to officially attend the 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit at the Los Angeles Convention Center next week but will still try to snag some press from the show. As we have previously reported, Activision Blizzard will hold a press event in downtown LA on Tuesday night while Gameloft will have a Hummer drive around downtown with demos of their upcoming mobile phone games. Two publishers, Nexon America and Gamecock, won't have exhibits in the convention center but will be in nearby hotels showing off their upcoming games. The big factor for all these publishers's actions seem to be cash; they seem to feel they can hold their own events without actually attending E3 and save money....
