Created specifically to make full use of the Wii?s unique control system PES 2008 brings all the realism of Pro Evolution Soccer to the Nintendo machine but with a more ?team-orientated? control system. The Wii game mirrors the real sport?s use of open space and the exploitation of defensive lapses and accurate passes essential in creating scoring opportunities. The Wii version of PES 2008 expands on these elements with the use of the Nunchuck and Wii Remote controllers giving the player control over both the player on the ball and those around him. Using a point and drag system the player uses the Wii Remote to guide the player with the ball and perform all the skill moves and close control with subtle movements of their hand. Instantly the Wii Remote is used to point at nearby players to select them to receive a pass or to latch on to a through-ball. The Remote can also be used to steer the run of the receiving player giving extra control as they thread through masses of defenders or run into open space. The new system gives the player full control over their team and allows the man marking of specific threats while shakes of the Wii Nunchuk can be used to perform sliding tackles and send the goal keeper out to clear a loose ball. The strategic elements are also easily accessed with the directional controls of the Wii Remote used to activate tactical plays and spring counter attacks or send players tracking back. Features PES 2008 for Wii features six game modes spanning Match League and Cup elements and Training and Trade section. The new version also features an exclusive ?Champions Road? competition wherein players take their chosen team to compete in league competitions all over the world. The idea of the Champions Road tournament is to come top in every league and build a team by receiving players from recently defeated sides. Experience points are added to all used players after a match and bolster the attacking ability technique and stamina. Extra skills can also be unlocked allowing users to piece together a ?Dream Team? that constantly grows as they become more successful. Additional mini-tasks are also randomly set during the course of a Champions Road match too such as scoring a hat-trick and succeeding allows the player to add higher-rated players to their team. Full Mii support is also present and users can integrate up to 16 pre-defined Miis into a team while the ever-changing teams can be stored on to the Wii Remote and switched between two linked Remotes. PES 2008 also has a strong online element allowing users to play ?Free Matches? against unknown opponents or ?Friend Matches? against people on the Wii?s Friends list. Team data can also be sent to friends via the console?s WiiConnect24 system.

You step out onto the streets of New York with no memory, but limitless potential power. As a terrifying viral epidemic sweeps across Manhattan, top-secret Blackwatch Special Forces move in, transforming it into a war zone. Delve into the mysteries of your origin, the true nature of your power and your part in a conspiracy 40 years in the making. In Prototype players engage in 'Deceive or Destroy' gameplay. This allows gamers the choice to either blend in with the population and covertly progress through the story, or fully unleash Alex's powers, and move through New York City like a walking slaughterhouse, taking control of military vehicles, and causing destruction at every turn. Although Alex is literally strong enough to fling people and large objects around easily, his most intriguing power is his ability to 'consume' people. In doing this he acquires their memories, abilities, and their appearance. New memories help him to solve the mystery of how he got the way he is, while new appearances allow him to shape-shift into new useful forms at will and abilities allow him to manoeuvre in parts of the game requiring specific skills in specific situations. In addition, Alex's consumption of people also facilitates his ability to transform his physical body and manipulate his senses. Most weapons acquired in this way are outgrowths from his appendages like exaggerated blades, shields, whips and claws used for brutal close combat, but consumption also allows for powerful abilities like thermal vision, which provides for vision through smoke and obstacles, as well as 'infected vision' with which Alex can detect hotspots of viral infection throughout the city. Key Features: - Fast and Deadly Combat - Shape-shift your body to the situation at hand ... from claws to blades to hammers to whips, as you choose the right weapon for the situation. Change to shield or armour for defence or use advanced sensory powers (thermal vision, infected vision) to track your enemies. - Over-the-top Locomotion - Seamlessly and fluidly bound from building to building, run up walls, bounce off cars and everything in your path. Adaptive parkour lets you move freely through the open-world environments of New York City. - Unique Disguising Abilities - Consume anyone at anytime, take on their appearance and assume their memories and special abilities. - Deep Conspiracy Driven Storyline - Wake up with no memory of the past ... just mysterious powers and a link to a town in Idaho. Delve into the mysteries of your origin, the true nature of your power and your part in a conspiracy 40 years in the making. - Parkour Inspired In-game Movement - Alex Mercer's movements are inspired by Parkour, a mostly urban activity bordering on both art and martial arts that aims at moving the human body from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible. Recent examples of it gained worldwide attention in chase scenes in the 2007 film Casino Royale. - Xbox LIVE Achievements - Collect a wealth of Xbox LIVE achievements and build your gamer score as you play.

Atari Hits 2006 is a compilation for the PC that featuring the following games: Act of War: Direct Action Boiling Point: Road to Hell Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive Fahrenheit GTR FIA GT Racing Game Mark Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure Neverwinter Nights Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Act of War: Direct Action (AoW) is set in a depressing future and shadowy organisations whose aims are unclear emerge from the woodwork to terrorise the people of the world's major cities. The situation calls for a hero and that hero is US Army Major Jason Richter a veteran maverick commander whose loose cannon nature has seen him fall out of favour with genteel modern White House politics. For now though he is just what's needed the most and is put in charge of the newly formed Task Force Talon. AoW is a real time strategy game. The player will have access to modern military technology and stuff that hasn't quite been invented yet. Highly detailed and destructible maps of London Moscow Washington and San Francisco are the battlefields as you try to take terrorists alive to get to the bottom of the conspiracy and save your wounded soldiers from certain death by evacuating them. Boiling Point: Road to Hell takes gamers to the jungled landscape of a South American country populated by drug lords guerrillas and the army of an oppressive government regime. The Commando-esque plot follows the story of ex-Legionnaire Saul Meyers brought to South America by his search for his abducted daughter Lisa. There are no levels and there is no linear storyline in this action game; deep RPG elements will require you to destroy or ally yourself with the six NPC factions active in the region. The result is a rich interactive environment which can see you plying a gangster's henchman with drink in a bar in return for information leaving and driving a jeep for several minutes along a road then stumbling across a firefight between guerrillas and government forces and joining in if you fancy it before taking to the sky in a helicopter to continue your search. Strategy games have been known to cover many themes in the past. These games have been based in space and medieval environments to name but a few. But the Wild West theme has been left largely untouched. Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive was the first game of its kind based in a Wild West scenario. Set in New Mexico the Twinnings & Co Railroad Company continues to be robbed. Hired for a large sum of cash John Cooper (you) must team up with five other Desperados and bring the raids to an end. In the Quantic Dreams-developed Fahrenheit the year is 2009 and New York is rocked by a bizarre series of murders. People are killing people they don't know for no apparent reason and each murder bears the same strange ritual hallmarks. At the same time the temperature is dropping as it gets colder and colder every day. The latest person to commit one of these strange killings is Lucas Kane. Suddenly entering a sort of trance he carves a symbol in his arm and murders a person he's never seen before all the time hallucinating about a small helpless girl. As he regains his senses he flees the scene and realises he is now a criminal on the run. You can switch between four characters in the game: the damned Lucas himself his brother Marcus and two police detectives Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles as the drama unfolds and you try to make sense of the mystery. GTR FIA GT Racing Game aims to bring the player all the high octane action and excitement of real life FIA GT racing. All your favourite cars are here because all the teams are here from Ferrari Lamborghini and Porsche to Lotus Lister Morgan and Saleen. By the same token all the official drivers feature in the game which can be played from the faithfully constructed cockpit models of these amazing racing machines. Every bump and bend of all ten official tracks are included with Donington Park in England Monza in Italy Magny Cours in France and Circuit de Catalunya in Spain among the legendary names. Mark Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure created its own genre of gameplay combining combat action adventure and stealth. The game uses a thrilling graffiti-driven framework to tell its story of self-expression and the fight for creative freedom. A thug an outcast a rebel...the lead character Trane is all of these in Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. He sets out to earn his street cred by getting his graffiti tag up throughout the politically oppressive city of New Radius but as events unfold Trane becomes the unlikely leader of an urban revolution. In Neverwinter Nights a hideous evil has awoken in the Forgotten Realms. Now in order to save the inhabitants of the town of Neverwinter you must uncover a sinister conspiracy unmask your mysterious betrayer and complete an epic struggle to defeat the powerful forces that look to halt your quest and unleash an evil your people would surely never survive. Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (RCT 3) was released for the PC in 2004 and was the first game in the series to feature 3D graphics. The premise behind RCT 3 remains the same as its predecessors. Players must as park manager spend a sizeable amount of money which they have been given at the start of the game and turn a piece of land into a profitable theme park. Gamers start by purchasing and installing small fairground rides to maintain a working profit that will hopefully bring in enough cash to expand further. For your park to succeed you will have to employ engineers to keep your attractions safe cleaners and gardeners to maintain the park and even entertainers to prevent boredom. When you have enough money you can design and build any number of wooden steel vertical inverted launched flying and 4D rollercoasters. It is even possible to see what all the fuss is about and try out your own rollercoasters via a front-seat view. Atari Hits 2006 is a compilation that represents extremely good value for money. With eight very different games packed into this bundle there should be something to float everyone's boat.
