Celebrity Roles to Include Ron Perlman, Matthew Perry, Wayne Newton, Zach Levi and More

Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today revealed the star-studded voice over cast for Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up game to the critically acclaimed Fallout 3. Fallout: New Vegas features Golden Globe-winner and two time Emmy nominated actor Ron Perlman (“Hellboy”, “Sons of Anarachy”), Screen Actors Guild-winner and Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor Matthew Perry (“Friends”), Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton, William Sadler (“Shawshank Redemption”), Zach Levi (“Chuck”), Felicia Day (“The Guild”), Michael Dorn (“Star Trek:The Next Generation”), Kris Kristofferson (“Blade Trilogy,”), Danny Trejo (“Machete”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”), John Doman (“Mystic River”, “The Wire”) and Rene Auberjonois (“Boston Legal”, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”).

“The Fallout franchise has taken narratives in interactive entertainment to the next level, and we could not be more excited about the all-new celebrity lineup for Fallout: New Vegas,” said Pete Hines, Vice President of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. “The voice acting provided by these actors helps drive the compelling and immersive story of Fallout and further adds to the overall gameplay experience.”

Ron Perlman returns to voice the narrator in Fallout: New Vegas, a role he has played in every major Fallout game to date. Matthew Perry plays Benny, a smooth-talking, two faced gangster, and Wayne Newton takes on the role as “Mr. New Vegas,” the radio DJ of the Mojave Wasteland.

Three celebrities take on roles as playable companions in Fallout: New Vegas: Danny Trejo is Raul the Ghoul, a mechanic and former gunslinger; Zach Levi is Arcade, a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse who hides a mysterious past, and Felicia Day is Veronica, a sarcastic Brotherhood of Steel scribe.

The epic cast continues with Kris Kristofferson as Chief Hanlon, a grizzled solider at the end of his career, and Rene Auberjonois as the enigmatic and reclusive Mr. House. Michael Dorn reprises his role as Marcus, an intelligent super mutant, who was last seen in 1998’s Fallout® 2; John Doman is Caesar, the charismatic and powerful dictator at the head of Caesar’s Legion. William Sadler plays Victor, a friendly robot with the personality of an old fashioned cowboy.

In addition to this star-studded cast, players can expect to hear even more celebrity cameos throughout the world of Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes. Published by Bethesda Softworks, Fallout: New Vegas is currently under development at Obsidian Entertainment. Fallout: New Vegas will be available in North America on October 19, 2010 for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows and in Europe on October 22, 2010.

The demo is now available for free to download from PlayStation Network, Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and via Steam and select Internet portals for Windows PC. Set in Empire Bay, a fully realized and immersive 1940’s and 1950’s American urban cityscape, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to experience the title’s intense shooting, white-knuckle car chases, compelling characters, engaging narrative, and decadent and meticulously crafted atmosphere. Mafia II will be released on August 24 in North America, August 26 in Australia and August 27 internationally.

While the game spans two eras, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the “Buzzsaw” level, which takes place during the summer of the ‘50s – a time considered the “Birth of Cool”, and with it, rock ‘n’ roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. In the demo, Vito Scaletta and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as “The Fat Man”. This mission showcases the vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, era-evoking cars, memorable characters, and a snapshot of the expansive city of Empire Bay in this colorful era.

Mafia II centers around Vito Scaletta, who has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay. He’s someone who can be trusted to get the job done. Together with his buddy Joe, he is working to prove himself to the Mafia, a move which escalates to crimes that generate bigger rewards, bigger status, and bigger consequences.

Mafia II is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on where to download the Mafia II demo, please visit www.mafia2game.com/demo.

A New Lower Price Just In Time For The Release Of Kick Ass The Movie On DVD

WHA Entertainment, a publisher and developer of entertainment games based on leading IP Franchises, announced today a new lower price of $9.99 for Kick-Ass for the Sony PlayStation Network (PSN). The new lower price comes just in time for the release of the major motion picture on DVD and Blue Ray, which were both available August 3rd. Kick-Ass is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

Kick-Ass is a fully 3D action fighting game set in the third-person perspective, where the player can play and control modern day super heroes based on the super characters found in the film of the same name. Gamers will be able to play as the three primary characters in the film – Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy. The story-driven game draws heavily from the strengths of the intellectual property; an action combat game where the characters finally grow sick of the crime around them, and decide that they will do something about it.

“One of the most popular action movies of the year, Kick Ass wowed both fans and critics and the DVD is sure to become a collector’s item,” said Howard Horowitz, Founder and CEO of WHA Entertainment, Inc. “We wanted to make sure the game is available to as many of the movie fans as possible so that is why we are making the move to this new lower price point for the game. Now all the fans out there can enjoy the supercharged action on PSN.”

Featuring multiple environments within New York City, players will be faced with twelve story missions plus 2 bonus rounds and encounter frantic super hero action as they face petty thugs and powerful mob bosses. Players will also have a blast with sub-missions and mini-games, to add even more gameplay to the mix. Staying true to the intellectual property, the game will feature visceral combat and plenty of gore, as the player’s main goal is to bring justice back to the city, no matter what the cost! The final mission ratchets up the action to an entirely new dimension, when players pilot the already-legendary jet pack from the movie’s climactic final battle scene. Cut loose with twin Gatling guns, cutting down enemies in a barrage of hot lead and shattered glass – but don’t forget to keep moving, or you’ll be blown out of the sky in a hail of return fire and bazooka shells!

Featuring multiplayer local co-op gameplay, Kick-Ass brings an unsurpassed integration of missions given via friend requests from the FACESPACE social networking site. Bonus points also unlock the complete first edition of the Kick Ass comic book. Many additional Kick Ass game features to play and become a superhero!

With a dynamic day-night cycle system, IGG’s Moonlight Online will allow gamers to experience these and many other memorable scenes.

Time in Moonlight Online will run based on a realistic 24-hour system, but the sands of the hourglass will move more quickly than in the mundane real world. The game will have a unique interface that tells the time in the world of Moonlight Online, but will also support real-world time, allowing players to keep an eye on both clocks.

Moonlight Online’s developers are using the latest particle effects technologies to create incredibly realistic atmospheric and meteorological elements, so gamers will witness spectacular dawns, mesmerizing dusks, and the entire glorious spectrum of wonders in between.

When the sun shines its final rays into the dark world of Moonlight Online, don’t be surprised if you hear a wolf’s howl break the silence and signal the approaching twilight.

The Call of Destiny is the awesome new content patch for Tales of Fantasy. Among its many exciting additions and improvements to the game, the fabled North Dungeon promises to be a highlight for avid PvP fans. Nonstop PvP action is sure to get your heart pumping the moment you set foot inside this deadly former prison.

Located in the northwestern corner of Elterra, the massive structure houses countless convicts, vagabonds and ruthless killers from both Ashland and Bohren. Allowed to fester as the great nations engaged in endless conflicts, it is now a lawless haven for the criminals both nations once interred there. Left to their own devices, the onetime prisoners have overrun the prison and the surrounding area, engaging in mindless slaughter and plunder. It is a place where everyone is both predator and prey.

Recently, rumors of a mystical weapon concealed within the depths of the North Dungeon have spread like wildfire, drawing the attention of heroes, mercenaries, and demons alike to this already ravaged land. Greed overrides notions of glory, honor, righteousness, and sometimes even love and friendship, all in the name of claiming the weapon and the power that goes with it.

In the North Dungeon, PvP is not limited by rules or boundaries. It is a no man’s land where only the strong survive. Whether they are enemies or kinsmen, players have absolute freedom to attack anyone they wish. Defeating another player gives the winner a chance to acquire a piece of equipment from their foe.

Corpses and killers are not the only things in abundance in the North Dungeon, however. Coal nodes are everywhere. If you gather enough coal, you can exchange it for a Devil Summoning Charm from Ghost Master Hadar. The charm can be used on a Suppressor Stone to summon a BOSS monster: the brutal Dungeon Coal Demon! If you kill enough of these, you can claim a Blue or Purple mysterious treasure chest.

Who will stand victorious in the end, mystical weapon in hand? To what lengths will you go to claim the treasure? When greed calls the darkness forth from your soul, will you harness it to reign supreme or let fear consume you? In Tales of Fantasy, destiny is calling and the choice is yours.
