March 22, 2007

Posted at 12:17 am in PC

Now you can run away to your own designed circus: Enlight Interactive has announced Circus Empire, the first ever 3D circus simulation game. As expected, players will be able to design their own circus, complete with trapeze artists, lion tamers, clowns and a variety of other performers.

The game will feature over 70 performers and a story campaign that spans across the world. It will also let players simulate the business aspects of running a circus, including hiring, training, scheduling and financial management.

Circus Empire will juggle its way to the PC this May; it will retail for $20.

Trophy Support Mandatory From January 2009

Taking their cue from Microsoft, Sony Computer Entertainment America has confirmed that Trophy support will be mandatory in PS3 games released after January 2009.

Similar to Xbox Live’s Achievements, the Trophy system rewards players for in-game achievements. It was introduced earlier this year in a PS3 firmware update. Some games have been patched to include Trophy support, but almost 90% of the PS3 games out there don’t support the feature.

Dead Space Comic Book Released

Finished Dead Space, but want more of the lore? Run to your nearest comic book store, as today marks the release of the hardbook comic based on the game. It serves as a prequel story for the game and has been written by Antony Johnson and illustrated by Ben Templesmith.

The book also features an exclusive bonus art section and a background section on the major characters.

National Geographic Games

The nonprofit National Geographic Society is seeing the birth of a spinoff called National Geographic Ventures that will create PC, console and handheld games based on the company’s nature-themed television shows and its magazine.

Their first title is Herod’s Last Tomb, a hidden objects game that is already available on Windows and iPhone. “Entertainment with substance” is their motto, apparently, and their focus is not teaching materials. Upcoming titles include Rain Forests, Greencity and Africa.

World at War on Steam

Expanding your purchase options, Call of Duty: World at War is now available on Steam.
