Sega, Pyro Studios partner over Planet 51
Sega announced that it has inked a deal with Commandos series dev Pyro Studios to produce a game based on the upcoming CG film Planet 51, with the tie-in expected to crowd store shelves with versions on the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Nintendo DS. A Winter release is planned, though the "mission-based driving game" will likely be available at or around November 20 when the movie, which pits the voice of Dwayne Johnson against a planet of little green men, hits theaters. So, to run down, we've got a movie-licensed game based on a movie starring The Rock from a studio whose claim to fame is an inconsequential series of tactical games. Forgettable, sure, but in this slumping economy, betting on movie licenses seems like a safe bet for any outfit, let alone one facing such substantial losses as Sega.
Stargate Worlds will be on display at Leipzig train station
European Stargate fans take note: Stargate Worlds will be making an appearance at the Leipzig Games Convention in -- you guessed it -- Leipzig, Germany. As was the case earlier in the summer at Comic Con, Firesky/Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment have some special stuff planned.The team will be "taking over" the Leipzig Train Station, where they'll be showing "the latest" gameplay trailer (we don't know if it'll be new or not, but presumably, right?) and giving away various stuff, including t-shirts and dog tags. Apparently the prizes will be given out by "Stargate commandos." People in uniform, perhaps? Also, Studio Head Dan Elggren and marketing guy Kevin Balentine will be on site to promote the game and talk to the press.The Stargate franchise has always been popular in Europe -- especially in Germany, so we know there are a few of you out there who'll want in on this. And with that subsidized airfare, getting there might be almost affordable, right?
